About the game

A first-person adventure telling the story of Henry, who becomes a fire lookout in a Wyoming forest in 1989. You explore the forest while talking over the radio with your supervisor Delilah, your only conversation partner. The relationship between the two subtly changes based on your dialogue choices. It also contains a mystery as you uncover the truth behind strange events in the forest.

Why we recommend it

It creates deep immersion purely through conversations with a colleague over a walkie-talkie in a vast forest.

Good for — Great for: anyone who wants to quietly lose themselves in a story amid beautiful scenery
