About the game

Dear Esther: Landmark Edition is an atmospheric indie game from the studio The Chinese Room. The PC re-release launched on September 20, 2016. The game takes you to a mysterious uninhabited island in the Outer Hebrides, where a voice-over reads fragments of letters: "Dear Esther."

In terms of genre, it's a narrative adventure โ€” a story of love, loss, guilt, and redemption told through the environment and voice-over text. The gameplay is built on unhurried exploration of the island: no action, just atmosphere, landscapes, and storytelling.

What's included in the Landmark Edition

The Landmark Edition differs from the original by adding a director's commentary mode: the developers from The Chinese Room and artist Rob Briscoe talk about the making of the game as you play through it. This makes the edition interesting not only as a standalone experience, but also as a behind-the-scenes look at indie development.

Who it's for

Dear Esther is a choice for those who appreciate atmospheric narrative games without conventional gameplay mechanics. If you enjoy walking simulators and projects that are closer to interactive poetry than to an action game, this is exactly that kind of experience.

Purchase and delivery
