We’re really excited that Firewatch is finally approaching its release, and we can’t wait to hear what you all think. Thanks for being patient while we put all the finishing touches on this thing and got our launch plans worked out!
Firewatch is anticipated. These wonderful internet websites would go as far as to say it is “most anticipated of 2016!”
IGN:… the word refreshing keeps coming to mind…
Gamespot: “In a genre currently dominated by decision-driven narratives in the style of Telltale’s Walking Dead games, Firewatch actually manages to innovate.”
Entertainment Weekly: Firewatch is as visually striking as its unique premise.
The Guardian: …Expect plenty of creepy atmosphere.
Motherboard: …a mysterious and unique looking adventure…
Wired: All you really need to know about this first-person adventure game is that it’s written by Jake Rodkin and Sean Vanaman, who penned the moving story for Telltale Games’ breakout hit The Walking Dead. If you need to know more, it’s about a man alone in the forests of Wyoming with only a voice in a walkie-talkie as his companion. Oh, and the visual design is by Olly Moss. OK, now you should know why it’s on [our list].
The AV Club:… has the potential to deliver some real emotional heft…
PC World: Two things you need to know about Firewatch…It’s gorgeous… as far as indie games go, this one’s got an all-star crew…
PC Advisor: Firewatch is an upcoming first-person adventure game with a scary twist.
twinfinite: The combination of branching dialogue, well-acted characters, and intriguing story will make this game an immediate hit.

We handed out these exclusive collector’s cards at Playstation Experience. We’ve got a few left and will think of a great way to give them away. (There were only 2000 “Bronze Trophy” cards and 200 Platinum!)
Playstation had us on their live-streaming stage at PSX. For some reason, I thought it’d be a good idea not to prep a play-through. Nevertheless, it turned out! Plus, it ends with a-never-before-seen surprise.
Campo Santo & Firewatch at the Playstation Experience 2015!
We spent an incredible weekend with thousands of Playstation fans here in San Francisco. Playstation Experience was our first time having a booth at a trade-show and all of you folks made it really special. As you can see from the photos, we were mobbed. There was even a line to play the game!
We got a lot of wonderful write-ups but we thought we’d just share one from GamesRadar about the tone of the game.
We had so much fun but when the doors closed on Sunday, it took about three minutes to go from what you see above to this.
If you met us at PSX, thanks so much for coming by. And if you’re now green with envy about how darn cool this event was, we’ll see you there next year!

First-Person Shooter: Mysterious Photography in Firewatch
We’re all good at finding evidence to justify our personal narratives, whether it’s believing we’re the centre of a conspiracy or using one minor mechanic to thematically explore and entire game. This essay looks at Campo Santo’s ‘Firewatch’ through the lens of its virtual camera.
