Developers putting on the finishing touches

Mark your calendars, because "Firewatch" has officially been given a release date: February 9, 2016. "Firewatch" is a game that puts the player in the shoes of a man working as a fire lookout in a national park in Wyoming. The story is clearly a mystery set in that isolated locale, but not much else is known beyond that. Check out the trailer below:

Right now we’re still polishing, optimizing, writing, and developing the last bits of the game, but we can’t wait to put it out there for you to play. Our goal is a worldwide simultaneous release!
