Firewatch vs Rooms of Memory
Firewatch
Firewatch is an intriguing, mystery-infused first-person adventure game that's set in the wilderness of Wyoming. In this game, you play as Henry, a rather messed-up person with a messed-up life that he is trying to escape from... and he ended up working as a fire lookout in... well, Wyoming. Being a fire lookout, your job is to look for signs of smoke and communicate any incidences you encounter to your supervisor, Delilah, via your handheld radio. Aside from doing your job though, there are plenty of fun hidden secrets and discoveries out there in the wilderness for you to find.Although the game has a rather small cast of characters, you can actually build relationships with them as you play the game. The game also has a storyline that changes based on the decisions you make. Your decisions will also affect the relationships you make with the people you meet in the game. Of course, the game is very atmospheric as well, with its unique art style and brilliant music.
Firewatch is a really nice story-driven game that focuses more on exploring the wilderness while keeping an eye out for the telltale sign of a fire.
Rooms of Memory
Rooms of Memory is a classic hidden object game where you've just come into possession of a mansion that has been passed down from generation to generation in your family since its last caretaker, your uncle, has mysteriosuly vanished. Explore your vast estate as you search for clues to uncover the many and somewhat troubling family secrets the building houses, as well as hints on your uncle's current whereabouts. However, the manor won't give up its secrets so easily... it'll take preseverance on your part to eventually reveal the truth!Rooms of Memory is a somewhat simplified version of the Mystery Manor and will definitely appeal to a broader range of players (of varying skill levels). We'd recommend playing this game before attempting any of the more "hardcore" hidden object adventures.
