There’s a new PlayStation 4 and Steam game on the block… and people are getting, well, just a little excited about playing it.
#FIREWATCH TOMORROW GUYS
it's been a long time since I've been so excited for a game— Marta (@martasrsly) February 8, 2016
Here’s what we know so far: Firewatch is a single-player – and first-person – video game where you’re a man named Henry (we’re not really sure why, just go with it). You explore the Wyoming wilderness after taking a summer job as a fire lookout, but then start to question some of the things that are happening to you. Sounds spooky…
Meanwhile, your only human connection is over a handheld radio. Totally intrigued now? We know we are.
And this is one of the teaser videos put on YouTube by the company behind story-driven Firewatch – Campo Santo – in the build-up to the game’s release on February 9. Apparently they’re to show the hazards of life in a forest…
Looks pretty intense right?!
People are confused as to what this game is really all about…
I thought I knew what Firewatch was, but now I'm back at square one. pic.twitter.com/AQvTMIgK9E

I love that I know absolutely nothing about Firewatch. What a wonderful feeling to play a game and have NO IDEA where it's going. #Firewatch

Yeah, Twitter users have definitely been curious for a while now.
Finished a pre-release version of @camposanto’s “Firewatch" & *wow*. So many great ideas. So much care & thoughtful execution. I loved it.

#Firewatch is out tomorrow. If nothing else, the art style makes me want to play it. Olly Moss has done a great job with it.

The British graphic designer behind the art for the game had a great time making it anyway.
But I've never felt so happy to be the dumbest person in the room. Everybody working on this game is incredible. I learned so much.

And early reviews are looking pretty great.
#Firewatch is a short game, but worth every $ and minute you spend on it. I knew it'd be good, but I still wasn't quite prepared for it.

But yeah, some people are worried the game looks a bit short.
I am worried about #Firewatch it looks great. But quite short. I'm gonna wait for the reviews tbh.

But the day that gamers have been waiting for has very nearly come… on Tuesday everyone will be able to have a go, and hopefully being a firewatcher lives up to the high expectations.
Looking so forward to #Firewatch tomorrow can't wait! pic.twitter.com/Zb0sGNgeXt

The game does sound pretty exciting. However, we have no idea what this is all about…
Just panicked while playing #Firewatch because the turtle didn't appear in the same place as in the preview stream I did. I'm still worried.

Found the turtle finally. All is now good and right in the world. #Firewatch
