Firewatch

 Firewatch is a walking simulator where you play the role of a park ranger in a remote location.  Throughout this you are told the story of your wife who has developed Alzheimer's disease, making choices that define the narrative for why you are here at this remote location instead of staying with her.  This pretty much paints you as a jerk (IMHO), and indeed as I viewed some of the potential outcomes one is that you get overfly flirtatious with the anonymous voice on the radio.

The day involves you following a series of park events that eventually culminate in a fire.  

It did not have the emotional impact I think they were going for, I got annoyed with my guy and bored with the walking around.
