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.

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.
