Firewatch (2016): Did You Try Flirting On Hardcore Mode?

"Walking Sim" as a genre is a bit of a perjorative, but really - that's what we have here. You walk places, and things happen! That's the game. But even in that, there's a ton to talk about. Why is this game about being alone, so full of chatter? Can you find yourself in those dark woods? And perhaps most importantly, why is this walking sim so bad at walking? In this episode: flapjack, game of telephone, taking care of your knees, not a metroidvania, Lichenland, shoutout to the secret ending, superfire, QWOP. ~shoutouts zone~ Pictures from a reddit user's trip to Shoshone National Forest Just finished my No-Talking-To-Delilah run Pitamakan's comment on "Does anyone here actually work in actual firewatch?"
