It's a first-person exploration game — you'll get loads of story from the environment itself.

The whole game takes place in the gorgeous Shoshone National Forest (which is a real place in case you were wondering).
The game's title is also the game's point — your job is to watch out for forest fires and to quickly report them.

And to enjoy gorgeous sunsets, apparently.

The Shoshone National Forest is represented especially well in "Firewatch."
The game is set in 1989, just one year after the (real life) Yellowstone National Park fire.

Which is to say: tensions are running high in this particular line of work.

And navigation, of course. There's no user interface around the edges of the screen, just a compass in your right hand and a map in your left. How 1989!
Clearly "Firewatch" will take us places below the forest, where mysteries lurk. It launches on PlayStation 4 and PC on February 9.
