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

Trailer

What is Firewatch about?

The year is 1989. You are a man named Henry who has retreated from your messy life to work as a fire lookout in the Wyoming wilderness. Perched atop a mountain, it's your job to find smoke and keep the wilderness safe. An especially hot, 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 below, 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.

Should I stream Firewatch on Twitch?

4/100 · Closed off· 19 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The two biggest English streams hold 90% of the 10 people watching Firewatch in English, leaving about 1 for everyone else — and the category empties when they log off.

About 1 of the 10 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 1 each if you split it with the 1 other English stream below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #2.

Only 10 of the 77 viewers here (13%) are watching in English. 3 of the 4 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

How many people stream Firewatch?

4 right now, to 77 viewers between them. 3 of them are streaming in English. Counted live from Twitch and refreshed every 15 minutes.

Is Firewatch too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 4 people are streaming Firewatch, and the two biggest English streams hold 90% of the 10 English viewers — so the room is quiet because the audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.

  • “Firewatching? Naw, I was nature-watching. Jokes aside, this is actually a really well-rounded, story-driven game. The characters are likeable, the humor enjoyable, the music pleasant. The views- wow, stunning! But I'm biased and love nature. It's definitely he…”

  • “TL;DR: Firewatch is a beautiful, short narrative game with a believable central relationship and a mystery that becomes genuinely gripping for a while. The buildup worked better than the payoff for me, but it’s an easy recommendation if you enjoy walking simul…”
