Firewatch (coming 2015)

Any info on this, I can't access the link at work?

Firewatch is a mystery set in the Wyoming wilderness, where your only emotional lifeline is the person on the other end of a handheld radio.

In Firewatch you play as a man named Henry who has retreated from his messy life to work as a fire lookout in the Wyoming wilderness. Perched high atop a mountain, it’s your job to look for smoke and keep the wilderness safe. An especially hot and dry summer has everyone on edge. Your supervisor, a woman named Delilah, is available to you at all times over a small, handheld radio — and is your only contact with the world you've left behind.

But when something strange draws you out of your lookout tower and into the world, you’ll explore a wild and unknown environment, facing questions and making interpersonal choices that can build or destroy the only meaningful relationship you have.

"Now this came literally out of nowhere. Campo Santo Productions has just released the debut trailer and screenshots for its upcoming PC exclusive title, Firewatch. Firewatch is a single-player first-person video game where you, as a man named Henry, explore the Wyoming wilderness after taking a summer job as a fire lookout.

Firewatch is being developed by Campo Santo, a new independent video game studio in San Francisco.

“This is Campo’s first game, but its members have made some games you might’ve enjoyed, including Mark of the Ninja, Brutal Legend, The Cave, Bioshock II, and The Walking Dead: Season 1.”

Firewatch is powered by the Unity engine. As the team noted, along with other tools for various purposes, the game world is making use of SECTR Complete— an excellent piece of Unity streaming middleware developed by Nathan Martz."
