About
'A deserted island... a lost man... memories of a fatal crash... a book written by a dying explorer.'
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.
Abandoning traditional gameplay for a pure story-driven experience, Dear Esther fuses its beautiful environments with a breathtaking soundtrack to tell a powerful story of love, loss, guilt and redemption.
Every play-through a unique experience, with randomly generated audio, visuals and events.
Explore incredible environments that fully immerse you in the haunting island and its mysterious past.
A poetic, semi-randomised story like you've never experienced in a game before.
Stunning soundtrack composed by Jessica Curry, featuring world-class musicians.
An uncompromisingly inventive game delivered to the highest AAA standards.
Dear Esther: Landmark Edition has been remade with the Unity engine, featuring a full audio remaster, and the addition of a brand-new Directors' Commentary mode, allowing players to explore the island and learn what inspired the game and how it was crafted by The Chinese Room and Rob Briscoe.

Walking simulator, quite boring
games are art
It was a healing experience for me, at the time I played it it really helped me accept the end of precious things to me, I hold it dearly in a corner of my heart
4/10
[h1]3/10[/h1] Cryptic walking sim. Kinda boring but got my 10k steps in.
Extraño a mi esposa
Dear Dan Pinchbeck, Nigel Carrington, Jessica Curry and Rob Briscoe, When you decide todo another game, please do not ever do another director's cut like that. The chance of getting the acheivement is at 0% for me for some reason. I completed walkthroughs, counted each one, waited for each one to play through longer than necessary. Ive now played longer than like 6 players and wouldnt mind jumping too after that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. This started as a nice walk... it really ended in me writting this review very sad with rage with no last acheivement. Loveley game but do a better set up next time for tracking purposes, was waste of my time. 👍
Não vou mentir. Acabei o jogo sem entender porra nenhuma da história kkkkkkk. Mas o jogo é bonito e interessante. Só acho que poderia ter algum modo de velocidade aumentada para ao fazer as próximas runs para pegar as conquistas. Pois apesar de ser curto, a movimentação fica agoniante ao fazer duas ou três runs.
hermoso juego, cortito y pocos logros. lo que mas me gusto, es que te puedes perder mucho, pero se hace muy disfrutable recorrer la isla. recomendado, (no para la gente con vertigo) xD
A good game for relaxation. Follow the path to the bay ...
