We try to dig as deep as we can on an individual game every episode so check it out! In this episode of Deep Listens we are joined by special guest...

In this episode of Deep Listens we are joined by special guest and Firewatch apologist, Jim Oliver in order to talk about Firewatch. Throughout the show Pete throws a ton of shade at Firewatch's story and takes issue with several of the narrative swings in the game. Billy gushes about his appreciation for Firewatch's more grounded narrative. And Gino attempts to split the difference between Pete's hatred and Billy's enthusiasm. This episode is chalk full of Firewatch spoilers so look forward to some of the most in-depth Firewatch discussion around!
