Dear Esther immerses you in a stunningly realised world, a remote and desolate island somewhere in the outer Hebrides. As you step forwards, a voice begins to read fragments of a letter: 'Dear Esther...' - and so begins a journey through one of the most original first-person games of recent years.

Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1/day in the week to Aug 22 → 2.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Dear Esther is something special. The narration, art direction, environments, music, story, the slowness. Everything just works so well and doesn't clash with one another in any way. I don't know what to say apart from the fact that this is genuinely a beautifully magnificent game. It is worth the time. It's not too long, less than 3 hours long.
Oynamayın Hikaye trafik kazası sonucunda eşini kaybeden Michael adında bir cerrah, İskoçya'nın bir adada keşiş hayatı yaşadığını anlamamızla başlıyor, kazaya başkası sebep olmuş ama vicdan azabını kendi çekiyor, sağa sola dağa taşa help me yazacağına kendini cezalandırmak istiyor olacak ki kimya formülleri ve bazı görsel tasvirleri çiziyor gittiği her yerde bulduğu bir mektup var ama çoğu mektubunu eşine ulaşamayacağının farkında olduğu için denize kayık yapıp bırakıyor, mağaraya düşmüş bacağı kırıp mağaranın dışına çıkmayı başarıyor. Yolculuk esnasında mağarada falan karşılaştığı her cismi, taşı kayayı bir iç organa ya da hastane ekipmanına benzetiyor, o kısımlarda zaten bi sikimi anlamadım. Neyse, çıkıyor mağaradan. Baz istasyonuna tırmanırken yine halüsinasyon görüyor, sonra sen çık kulenin tepesine aşağı atla. Yere çakılmadan kuş olup uçuyor bir de, güya ruhu özgürleşti. Hay amk fazla eleştirmişim gibi oldu ama bence oyundaki tek ve en büyük sorun o bulduğu mektupların, ses kayıtlarının düzgün bir şekilde birleştirilip mantıklı bir sonuca ulaşamaması. Bedava aldığınız bile kabahat, almayın.

Игра прикольная, на любителя
not bad for a few bucks
A phenomenal short story game, it doesn't have a lot of interaction with the player but here honestly its a good thing, the game lets you go through its ambiguous and extremely poetic heartfelt story at your own pace and its a great playthrough to do in one sitting.
Well, I finished it. Not sure what to say. The 'gory' dialogue felt unnatural and forced, which I disliked. Story and its meaning could have been good, if worked upon further. Visuals were very nice. Gameplay-wise its a walking sim, simple interactions with the enviroment and few puzzles would greatly elevate the game. All things considered, Im glad it was only 70 mins long.
