Firewatch is a first-person video game where you’re constantly reminded of your character’s feet, arms, torso and legs. That all looks very cool in the intended first-person, but pan the camera out a little and oh my god

I love love love how he actually has his backpack on.
Remember, kids: when you’re playing a first-person game with such dedication to the perspective, there are horrors lurking behind every shift of the camera.
