Firewatch vs Midnight Caravan
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.
Midnight Caravan
Midnight Caravan is a visual novel that features fantastic hand-drawn art (there are some adult imagery - you've been warned!) and an intriguing storyline of seeking revenge against an unknown foe. In this game, you play as the victim of “fake news” in the Georgian era. With your new caravan of outcasts to protect, you’ve decided that enough is enough! You set off on a perilous journey to hunt down the mysterious Cassini, who has completely destroyed your previous life before he destroys this new life you’ve built for yourself as well.As the story progresses, you’ll be given decisions to make. Every choice you make will then change the path of the story, whether it is for better or worse. As with any visual novel or gamebook, there are many paths that will lead to your doom, so tread lightly and above all else, make your story count!
Midnight Caravan is a truly fascinating visual novel with a story that feels as though it came right out of a TV drama directed by Dan Brown. Following every lead and clue you get, you’ll slowly push back the fog shrouding the mysterious, and very malicious, Cassini, and finally, get the vengeance you so desire!
