After playing all these multiplayer and live service game recently, I needed something story based that was short, sweet, and maybe something just all around different than murdering soldiers aimlessly.
This was exactly what I needed. This game wasn't what I expected, also. Plot wise, you play as a newly employed fire watcher whose post is somewhere deep ina Wyoming national forest. Instead of just being a simulator game (which I half expected it to be) it instead gives you this setting in a story centric way where you become good friends with your neighboring fire watcher, chase off/look for disruptive campers, and of course, an overlooming presence that you must uncover.
I loved the beautiful scenery in this game. A big portion of the game is traveling around this forest, going down trail after trail, and I'm not gonna lie, you can just get lost traveling around trail after trail but because of a map you've got, if you use it often, you should be fine. The game has you go often in areas that have multiple different secret stuff too, such as raccoons hiding in ovens and finding a recording of a song, so uncovering new paths gave a somewhat inventive. After a 7 1/2 hour playthrough, I ended the game. It's a great indie with a great story, writing, and voice acting so definitely give this one a shot.
