I'll Show You Mine

Welcome to another episode of I'll Show You Mine! This week James is showing Elyse "Firewatch" for the PC, released in 2016. Probably the most recent game we've ever played, Firewatch is by developer Campo Santo and follows the story of Henry, a man trying to get away from it all by taking a summer job as a firewatch in Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming. Along the way Henry forms a relationship with fellow lookout Delilah who lives in the tower across the way, and strange things happen over the course of the summer. Join us as we talk about the wonder and awe of being out in nature alone, the great environmental storytelling in this game, and the bittersweet mood that settles over the whole adventure. And if you want to play the game, do it before you listen, because spoilers abound! The song at the end of this episode is "Ol' Shoshone" from the Firewatch OST, by Chris Remo. Our next episode will be August 2nd, when Elyse shows James "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken" from 1991. Follow @isympodcast on Twitte
