Firewatch is set to arrive next week, so normally around this time, developers would take some time to produce a trailer to create some awareness for their game. Campo Santo is going a step beyond that, offering up four mini-trailers to offer an idea of what the game will be about.

The trailers are light in story, but high on mood and ambience. They also offer another introduction to our main character, who spends most of the story with his only companion: his partner, Delilah, via walkie talkie. It also goes into some of the story mechanics, which includes interacting with objects and dialogue choices.

Firewatch arrives on February 9 on PC and PlayStation 4 with a $19.99 price tag. For an idea of what to expect, here are all four mini-trailers.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
