Road 96 gave me the same vibe. The game supposedly never plays the same way twice. I've only gone through it once completely.

The Long Dark is also pretty good.

Agree, TLD is a survival title, but it definitely pushes some of the same buttons.

If you like games like Firewatch (The 3-way love-match thing) and the chill peace of it all, check out these two groups

/edit doh, just realised, I already shared those. anyway Road 96 looks interesting, will check it out once I finish playing the DIRT rally series.

The closest comparison I can think of is INFRA. That one also sends you off on a job to investigate in solitude while reporting to your boss by phone, unraveling a supposed conspiracy along the way, but in a city so large it feels like it was designed in 1:1 scale.

I had INFRA on my wishlist, but dropped it once i learned it had some platformer type mechanics that require quick reaction timing. Wpuld like to see if other people did like it, because have had more than one good storyteller game spoiled by need for twitch speed eye hand coords

I fully played through INFRA once about a year ago and highly recommend it, and yeah there are a few moments where you are in great danger and need to react quickly, but once I figured out what I needed to do I felt the game gave me more than enough time for it.

Wow. Never even heard of this game and it looks awesome. Thank you dude!

[Void Dance]

You're welcome. :)
In the meanwhile I've thought of another one that comes a bit closer to the vibe/setting of Firewatch: Eastshade is a very relaxing adventure game with light RPG elements where you explore a mysterious island as a traveling painter, one I would place somewhere between a walking sim and the Elder Scrolls. It also has a nice short prelude called Leaving Lyndow you might want to check out first.

Added to list, thanks

Lake

[Valeryous]

Great topic and great tips! If anyone has more suggestions, please let me know. :D Thanks again!!

• Suicide of Rachel Foster? (ignore the alleged suicide part of the title to prevent arguments)
  
• Dead Tree of Ranchiuna , is a very long drawn out walking simulator, the narration is absolutely terrible, but the scenery is gorgeous.
  
• Lake : I so am drooling over this one, yet to play.

I review similar titles in my profile-showcased group, one place, neat categories. I add a review every fortnight at least.
