Yeah definitely keen for this, almost bought it on steam with the -10% sale, but thought i might wait a bit for a bigger sale.

This game will unlock in approximately 1 day and 6 hours

Looks like an evening download for us tomorrow then.

Cool. Then I can get an article about me on Forbes too!

Some very good reviews and scores coming in. Personally I'm staying away from the reviews, videos, and only looking at the sum up scores. Though not much to go by I'll agree, but I don't want to get hope up too much and I don't want anything to be spoilt. By here ya go... http://opencritic.com/game/2129/firewatch

Looks like Steam pre-load has started for some. 1.4GB Preload.

Strange indeed, maybe the Film and Publication Board hasn't reviewed it as yet or something?

Think it might only unlock or become available from 7pm or 8pm as with their PST timezone. Think it's a Canadian based studio.

From Campo Santo's twitter feed the game will release 10AM PST. So that should be 20:00 tonight for us.

Whoohoo... and it's not episodic! So no surprise DLC and extra charges later.

I really do get the feeling that they are a very "honest" developer... Decent price, no hidden add on costs etc etc...

Found this to be rather nifty, though probably can't deliver to SA. Neat none-the-less...



Firewatch on Steam lets you buy physical copies of in-game photos

Firewatch's Steam version offers one exclusive feature missing from its console counterparts: the ability to order physical copies of your in-game photos.

The outdoor adventure game contains an in-game disposable camera that you can use to take screenshots of the virtual wilderness. Then, upon completing the game, there's an option to head to a web store and order physical versions of these photos.

Developer Campo Santo even went to the effort of creating a fake photo development company, Fotodome, which is mentioned in the game, then their logo is embedded on the envelope when the physical pictures are sent out. TechBuffalo published their Firewatch photos (below) and our Ian Higton ordered himself a set that's currently on its way.

The Polygon post on the same thing includes the order now screen from in-game that says "Free Shipping to almost anywhere". Maybe they will consider SA as part of that?
