And it’s finally here with us. Indie game, Dear Esther, has finally been released on Steam and is priced at 6.99 euros. 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. Dear Esther is a truly unique experience and we highly recommend it.

Dear Esther offers a unique experience in every play-through, with randomly generated audio, visuals and events. Players can explore Incredible environments that push the Source engine to new levels of beauty. Dear Esther also features a poetic, semi-randomised story, and a stunning soundtrack featuring world-class musicians.
