The end of Firewatch really came together for me. I loved the moral choice of being flirty and kind of taking the relationship with Delilah further or deciding to stay true to your ailing wife. Its a hard choice to make! Delilah is a great character! She is funny and easy to connect with. And on one hand your wife is across the world and very sick. So sick she probably doesn't even remember Henry. But on the other hand, she is sick and Henry's wife. It seems so easy to just have a thing with Delilah, and then the game really makes you feel guilty and a little nervous. By adding the conspiracy that someone has been recording and overhearing their conversations the player can feel both of those emotions if they have made the morally "bad" choice. I thought it was brilliant. And I personally think that making the ending a little anti climactic helped that. It made you feel bad that you only felt guilty because you thought you would get caught.

The game is getting more moral choices! Deciding whether or not to report everything or anything to Delilah is sometimes conflicting. You know you should but sometimes it can feel risky. Especially in just deciding how to talk to Delilah, should you flirt or stay more professional, or even a mix of the two. The game does a great job of making you like Delilah but also feel guilty. It adds some great moral conflict to the beautiful mountain landscape.

I started Firewatch. I have to say the beginning really got me. Dementia is something that terrifies and saddens me. Getting to make the decisions in the beginning on how Harry and Julias life together starts, made me feel more connected to the game. It really made me think hard about what I would do in those situations. Especially because both choices given were very similar. This made me feel like I was doing what I would really do in a sense. But also put me into a situation I might never be in. Often, I had to stop and really think about what I would do before I proceeded. I can tell this game will have a lot of choices like that.
