Userscore:

Metascore: 75

Company: The Chinese Room

Release Date: Apr 26 2012

Genre: Adventure

A deserted island... a lost man... memories of a fatal crash... a book written by a dying explorer. Dear Esther is a ghost story told using first-person gaming technologies. Rather than traditional gameplay the focus here is on exploration uncovering the mystery of the island of who you are and why you are here. Fragments of story are randomly triggered by moving around the environments making every telling unique. Features a stunning specially commissioned soundtrack. Forget the normal rules of play; if nothing seems real here it's because it may just be all a delusion. What is the significance of the aerial - What happened on the motorway - is the island real or imagined - who is Esther and why has she chosen to summon you here? The answers are out there on the lost beach and the tunnels under the island. Or then again they may just not be after all...
