Sandwiched between the likes of The Last Guardian and the Shenmue III Kickstarter, Firewatch was one of many independently developed games spotlighted at Sony's E3 2015 press conference. It's a mystery game starring Henry, a seemingly isolated fire lookout in a Wyoming forest in 1989.
Guided by Delilah, a puzzling female voice over walkie talkie, Henry is coerced into investigating a number of unexplained occurrences and disappearances in this wilderness. One tense moment includes the revelation that your lookout tower--now in the distance--has been taken over by a mysterious character. Interactions with Delilah aren't mandatory and it will be up to you to decide how much you wish to trust her. Firewatch is also notable for its art direction, led by illustrator and poster designer Olly Moss.
The game will be released for PlayStation 4 sometime this year.
