Review

Chris Remo's "Firewatch (Original Score)" is a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack that masterfully captures the essence of the first-person narrative suspense game set in the rugged Wyoming wilderness. Released in 2016, this album features 19 tracks that invoke a profound sense of isolation and enigmatic allure, echoing the game's atmosphere.

Beginning with the evocative "Prologue," the album sets a tone that carries through its entirety. Tracks such as "Beartooth Point" and "North Backcountry" immerse listeners in the wilderness, while pieces like "Canyon Sunset" and "Catching Up" provide a calm, reflective respite. At the same time, the tension-filled compositions "Infiltration" and "Exfiltration" add a layer of intensity. The inclusion of "Ol' Shoshone," with lyrics by Sean Vanaman, infuses a touch of humanity and tenderness into the mix, enriching the overall emotional tapestry.

Remo's composition is intricately woven into the game's narrative, effectively generating mood and tension. As an album, "Firewatch (Original Score)" not only supports the game's storyline but also stands strong as an evocative audio experience on its own. - Claire
