Prologue | Walkthrough Firewatch Guide

The choices are of little importance and the serve rather to set the story.

At first, the game is switching between two views - the story as seen by your character, which takes place at present and over the backdrop of the storyline. In the case of the storyline, which you can read about, at some moments you will have to make choices concerning your behavior. Such choices do not have any major effect on the game and they serve rather as a means of setting Henry's story. You will see the effects of your choices in the case of the available dialogue options.

While controlling Henry simply follow the path in several spots.

While controlling Henry, perform simple actions:

• collect the backpacks from the elevator and approach the truck,
• move forward a bit and follow the path,
• keep following the path, jump over the fallen tree ([SPACE BAR] by default),
• collect the JOURNAL,
• follow the last fragment of the path.

Approach the tower.

The proper game starts at the glade, in front of the tower. Immediately, you will also receive the option to use the map ([M]) and the compass ([N]). Approach the wooden watchtower on the other side and climb up over the stairs. Open the door ([LMB]).

Turn on the lights and answer the radio message - note that there is a time limit to give the answer.

After you enter, use the GENERATOR SWITCH, which turns on the power supply. After a while, you hear Delilah, who starts her radio transmission. Pick up the walkie-talkie from the desk and answer. Use ([SHIFT] to select dialogue options, (after you give the answer, release the key). If you do not pick the answer for too long, Henry also says nothing. Regardless of your answer, the prologue ends soon.
