About this game
Firewatch is a narrative-driven game played from a first-person perspective and set in 1989.
The protagonist is Henry, a man in his forties, who takes on the solitary job of manning a firewatch lookout in the secluded wilderness of Two Forks Lookout Area in Wyoming.

However, the game starts fourteen years earlier, in Boulder, Colorado, in 1975.
The first minutes of the game are largely text-based and explain how Henry met his wife Julia and what led him to the job on his own many years later.
The player can choose between different responses to help shape Henry's background.
The game takes place over the course of about 79 days, but only a small amount of days are an actual part of the game.
The Two Forks Lookout is Henry's home and the place where most days start.
Almost all conversations in the game are done using a portable radio with his supervisor Delilah who is also in a tower, Thorofare Lookout, a mountain over.
When she talks to Henry, there are often multiple answers to choose from that shape their relationship.
The player chooses to have Henry divulge much of his personal life and react affectionately towards her, or keeps it neutral.
The choices often influence how she will react in the future.
At the same time, not replying or using silence is almost always an option and also leads to a different effect.
A small vertical bar shows the amount of time left before 'silence' is chosen as an option.
In return, almost any object or event can be used as a basis to talk to Delilah through a radio icon, but it always up to the player to initiate such a conversation or to have Henry keep it to himself.
Almost right away the entire game world can be explored freely.
Henry carries a map that shows his current position, along with the important paths and locations, and he also uses a compass.
There are several cache boxes with items and smaller maps that can be used to update Henry's map.
Many items, in the tower and outside, are interactive.

About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Firewatch for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Firewatch to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2016.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
