I’m thoroughly disappointed we didn’t get to meet Delilah nor that she seemed to care for our relationship in the end.

that last bit of firewatch was just raw betrayal

How could she leave?? After all we’ve been through she won’t even give me a hug? Come on

that's how I felt towards her at first when I first finished the game

then I realised she lies about most of the things

wait when??

first things first, the part where she gets in another call when deliliah is speaking to henry right? somewhere in the beginning iirc, that was ned and they originally planned to get rid of henry but getting to know and so on they grew a soft spot for him and ned eventually wanted henry to find his dead son because of the guilt and deliliah played along

is that confirmed or its just a theory?

u/ChadLare Apr 22 '25

I believe that in the audio commentary the developers directly said that it was just a random work call put in to make the player suspicious.

I think a thoery

but there would be no reason for her to do that.
Coz as far as i think she wouldn't have brought up Ned and Brian if she knew Ned was there and Brian was dead.
And Henry just got there a few days ago at the time of that call so why would Ned want him dead for no reason at all.
In the story as well ned was shown in grief about his son's death.

That’s a crazy theory! I never thought of that!

The point is that we don't see her, a kid died and there wasn't a mass conspiracy just a grieving father living in the shadow of his dead son.

u/ioidudethrowaway Apr 21 '25

When she asked was i mad, i just said i was disappointed the whole dialogue was gut wrenching

u/SaltyBones_ Apr 21 '25

I said the same thing

u/Successful_Spite9063 Apr 21 '25

The unease that game fabricated is Absolute!

Even at the end I had doubts whether the Chopper will leave me or not!

u/Illustrious-Sign3015 Apr 21 '25

The biggest takeaway from this game for everyone is that we never saw Delilah.

u/SaltyBones_ Apr 22 '25

It was genuinely disappointing

u/SkyNeedsSkirts Apr 22 '25

Delilah made me realise I fall too easily for horrible people

He kinda resembles John Nolan from the rookie

u/wavy_murro Apr 22 '25

it was a nice whimsical journey. But it ends, summer ends.

I absolutely love the ending and think that this is the best implementation of a purposefully underwhelming ending I've ever seen

Unbelievable

10/10 would play again

u/SaltyBones_ Apr 22 '25

First time I’ve finished it. I will put it in my rotation with SOMA that I play yearly 😂

u/jukeboxjulia Apr 23 '25

I think it has less to do with her not caring for the relationship and more to do with her being ashamed of herself and not being able to face Henry once he knows she was partially responsible for what happened to Brian Goodwin. 

She might really really like Henry and want to have a friendship (or more) with him but can’t be around someone who knows what she did.

u/SaltyBones_ Apr 23 '25

I think she’s a coward and really let Henry down

u/tacphat Apr 22 '25

I keep trying to play this game but I keep getting blocked by invisible walls, I would have to walk backwards sometimes to get through.

u/SaltyBones_ Apr 22 '25

That’s very odd I didn’t get any issues like this

3

u/DisturbedSoul88 Apr 24 '25

A kid she knew died, the forest is on fire and she’s spent the past few months paranoid, I’d want some therapy before I was face to face with Henry

I was hating on him for abandoning his missus and spent 80% of the game avoiding flirty conversations - and at the end even I was bummed 🫠

Ngl firewatch left me with such a bad ending. It felt so saddening 🤣
