This game had so much potential with the characters. Delilah, Ned, Brian, Two Girls, Henry's Wife and Henry himself. For it just be about Ned "killing" Brian was disappointing with no twists, no Delilah reveal and the Henry reveal.
Firewatch Theory #1 - Henry Is A Bad Husband Theory number one goes like this: Ned Goodwin represents Henry while Brian Goodwin represents Henry's wife. Henry has left his dementia suffering wife to take out his post as a fire watcher. Delilah represents Henry's conscience giving him pick me ups and giving him advice telling him to take care of his wife. We never see Delilah in the story. Ned represents a bad carer for his son like Henry is a bad carer for his wife. Brian represents Henry's wife, both not being cared for. After we see "Brian's" death, Henry has a revelation and Delilah helps him release that he needs to take of his wife. The burning of the forest represents the burning of Henry's former self. The end of the story sees Henry going home to take care of his wife, as long as she has left.
Firewatch Theory #2: Angel And Devil Henry sees the forest as a fantastic and beautiful land. He has came out here as he has found caring for his dementia suffering wife frustrating. Delilah represents his angel and Ned Goodwin represents his devil. Delilah is the one who is appealing to the good side of Henry telling him to care for his wife in her time of need while Ned is the one appealing to Henry's dark side with the death of Brian being a signal to leave his wife and stop caring for her. With Delilah escaping the burning forest it is clear that Henry's good side has won and his dark side has lost. His dark side, Ned, died in the forest while Henry and his good side left, with great intentions ahead.
Firewatch Theory #3: Delilah Has Dementia The theory goes like this: Delilah, Henry's boss, is suffering from dementia. We see her put simple codes like '1234' on the supply drops so she can remember them easily as if they were difficult like '6193' she would forget. We also see her not know what Wapiti Station is even though she has worked in that area for many years. The moral is that life is cruel sometimes and that you cannot always run away from it. Since Henry's wife is suffering from dementia we see him work as a firewatcher to escape it although we then see his boss also has the condition. We eventually see him see the error of his ways as he goes home to care for his ill wife.
Firewatch Theory #4: Delilah Was Ned Goodwin's Wife And Her And Henry Were Killed By Him By The End Of Firewatch This theory goes like this: Delilah was married to Ned Goodwin and together they had a child, Brian Goodwin. After the two got a divorce she stopped seeing her son Brian. After Ned decided to take Brian to the great outdoors, he eventually discovers that his ex-wife works there. He stays though but after seeing his son idolise her more he couldn't stand it and decided to kill his son and planned to kill Delilah. But after he killed Brian he couldn't yet kill Delilah as Henry arrived. He becomes obsessed with them both and soon he has a bloodlust. He follows their conversation, the map routes and stalks them in the lookouts. It seems Henry and Delilah escape him and his bloodlust but it turns out Ned was the person in the helicopter. He already killed Delilah and when Henry got on the helicopter he rode it and crashed it killing himself and Henry in the process.
Firewatch Theory #5: Delilah Killed Brian And Ned Is The Good Guy Delilah was ordered by her boss to not let children into the forest. However when she saw Brian and his excitement of being in the great outdoors, she decided to let it slide. However, when her boss noticed that there is a child in the area he threatens to sack her unless she gets rid of them. After trying to ask them to leave, Ned refuses and soon Delilah becomes nervous, thinking they may not leave. She follows them and eventually tracks Brian down to a cave, which is strictly off limits. She asks Brian to get his dad and go but Brian says he doesn't want to. Delilah becomes furious and pushes Brian, although she thought he was safe as he was attached to the rock as he was climbing. However it snapped and Brian fell to his death. Ned finds his son but decided to leave him as he becomes obsessed with finding his killer. He discovers it was Delilah and he decides to try and kill her but then Henry comes in...
Theory #5: Continued Ned didn't want any witnesses but he also didn't want to kill and innocent man so instead tries to scare Henry off with his secret hideouts and his eventual punch to Henry's face. He hoped this would scare Henry off and he wouldn't have to kill him but Henry becomes more determined than ever to find who is doing these deeds. After Ned hears this he has no choice but to get rid of Henry and Delilah and decides burning the forest is the best way as he won't murder them by force and he could make it look like an accident. We see Ned try and explain himself on his tape for Henry but Henry puts it down to Ned murdering Brian. Ned had already escaped the forest but his murder attempt failed as Delilah and Henry escaped.
What changes to the ending should they have made? I personally think with all the factors they had to take into account for making a game it was handled well.
what was that call what she hade on start of game ? when you was talking about your wife and dog and she stop you and talk on radio with someone and your line is still on
One observation: If you're going to interview someone, I better be able to see all of the guests' faces. You should've been the ones sitting closer to the camera, so we could see all 4 of them more clearly.

I personally loved the game:)
I got up and opened the door for the cat two times during this video.
stop talking over each others
What changes to the ending should they have made? I personally think with all the factors they had to take into account for making a game it was handled well.
god damn, Jane is beautiful.
what was that call what she hade on start of game ? when you was talking about your wife and dog and she stop you and talk on radio with someone and your line is still on
how come i never got that second radio and it was never a part of my story
what? you didn't get the second radio?
You didn't find the clipboard or got any events to help trigger it then.
One observation: If you're going to interview someone, I better be able to see all of the guests' faces.
You should've been the ones sitting closer to the camera, so we could see all 4 of them more clearly.
*"Bandwagon"*
if this is such a "family" friendly channel, shouldn't they tell the hosts/presenters not to even curse?
They aren't cursing they meow
I wanted more choice in the ending wether you live a new life with Delilah or go back to your wife and care for her
sorry but.. wtf is with the cat noises? xD
This game turned up as a HUGE disappointment. Such a wasted opportunity with this plot. This story of yours doesnt deserve a game tbh
so many nerds
