Two weeks later, Henry discovers a radio and a clipboard while fishing, with notes including transcripts of his conversations with Delilah. Two months after Henry started his job, a small wildfire breaks out south of his tower. Fearing an inquiry, Delilah falsifies reports to say that neither she nor Henry encountered the girls. He and Ned left abruptly and never returned. Though it is against the rules for employees to bring their children to the towers, Delilah was fond of Brian and lied about his presence. Ned was an outdoorsman who drank heavily due to his traumatic experiences in the Vietnam War, while his son, Brian, enjoyed fantasy novels and role-playing games. Henry finds an old backpack, and a disposable camera belonging to a boy named Brian Goodwin, whom Delilah explains was the son of Ned, a former lookout. He and Delilah plot to scare the girls off, but when he finds the girls' campsite ransacked and abandoned, they begin to worry. He finds it cut, with a note signed by the teens. The next day, Delilah asks Henry to investigate a downed communication line. He returns to his watchtower to find it ransacked. He comes across a locked cave on his way home and spots a shadowy figure watching him before disappearing. Henry discovers a pair of teenage girls, who accuse him of leering. On his first day, Delilah, a lookout in another watchtower, contacts him via walkie-talkie and asks him to investigate illegal fireworks by the lake. In the spring of 1989, after his wife develops early-onset dementia, Henry takes a job as a fire lookout in Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming.

The game is a story-based first-person exploration title which follows a Shoshone National Forest fire lookout named Henry and his supervisor Delilah as mysterious events begin to occur one month into Henry's tenure. It later came to the Xbox One on September 2016. It officially began development in January 2014 and was released on PC, Mac, Linux and Playstation 4 in February 2016.
