Description
'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.
Key features:
• 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.

Ratings and Reviews
Visually Beautiful, not a game
This is visually beautiful and I enjoyed most of it. The cave parts left me feeling a little claustrophobic. But it isn’t a game. I wasted too much time trying to understand the diagrams because I thought I’d have to solve something.
LOVE THIS GAME
I fell in love with the MYST games. This is very true to Dear Esther. The graphics are the best I have seen. As others have said...this is NOT a game win, but an environment to explore and to get lost in. If you want to just "escape" from the stresses of the day, this is the experience for you. You become a part of this "art film". The only rquest I have is that I could explore MORE of this wonderful world. I feel that I am on a designated path. Could I go up the mountains or out the back doors of the buildings? I would love to explore inside the ships and containers. I have a MAC, I would love to Download "Everybody's gone to the Rapture" for Mac. THANK YOU
Such an experience…..
As the other reviews indicate this is not as much a game as an experience or an art film. I don’t usually invest in such things but it was a staff pick and had high ratings so I gave it a go.
You don’t get a lot of guidance as to what to expect or what to do--really not any guidance, actually--but that’s an important part of the experience. Even without guidance, you naturally and quickly find your way into the story. It was so beautiful and more emotional than even the best-written shoot ‘em ups, and honestly more emotional than most films.
