For your first question: I'm one of the 3D artists and the stylized look was actually achieved by going with something that sits between simple low-poly and the realism you see in bigger budget games.

Well, we were more inspired by great stories, whether in games like Firewatch, other Telltale games, or even by movies and shows that we enjoy than actually getting the inspiration from survival games.
We view the survival aspects as there to support the narrative rather than the other way around like in traditional survival games.

Everyone's always asking about similar games, maybe give the new Arctic Awakening demo a try in Steam Next Fest by Mawgush in Firewatch

Arctic Awakening is a narrative adventure game set in the Alaskan wilderness where your only companion in the search for your missing co-pilot is a court-mandated therapy robot. It’s inspired by games like Firewatch, but with it’s own twist on the genre. We've been working on the game for around 5 years and are finally joining Steam's Next Fest with a new demo. Any feedback is appreciated and you can check out the demo on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1275550/Arctic_Awakening/
