85 Firewatch

This unique first-person adventure/exploration game is the creation of Campo Santo, a new studio founded by Telltale Games veterans. For Firewatch, they teamed with artist Olly Moss to create a stylish and immersive experience that has you serving as a solitary fire lookout in the Wyoming wilderness as you take a break from your failing marriage. Critics admired the storytelling, calling the game "immersive" and "intimate."
