Firewatch is a first person adventure game starring Rich Sommer (Mad Men) who portrays the protagonist, Henry and Cissy Jones (The Walking Dead) who plays the radio voice Delilah. As Henry travels around the game world uncovering clues, he continues a back and forth dialog with Delilah that simultaneously pushes the narrative forward and reveals more intimate details about the characters.
