10 Rarest Video Game Endings NOBODY Unlocked

8. Firewatch - The Helicopter Leaves

Firewatch is a gorgeous adventure game where you can adopt a turtle, engage in a deep relationship via radio, and delve into the Shoshone National Forest.

Protagonist Henry forms a really interesting connection with his main point of contact, Delilah, throughout the game's events. You chat about work, your respective histories, and exchange opinions on the mysteries that present themselves in the wilderness around your watchtower.

Without spoiling Firewatch’s series of events, the game concludes with a rampant wildfire and you’re told to evacuate. Enter the secret ending.

You can go ahead and do that and get the ending the game has intended for you or you can chill out in the soon-to-be-scorched forest for two minutes and then the helicopter leaves without you. This is a little weird given Firewatch is a game where you otherwise can’t die and can play at your own pace but there you have it, punished for dawdling.

Or an emotional choice from a dude who has decided he doesn’t have much to go back to. I’ll leave that up to you.
