Dear Esther: Landmark Edition

'A deserted island... a lost man... memories of a fatal crash... a book written by a dying explorer.' Dear Esther transports you to a beautifully realized setting—a desolate, remote island within the outer Hebrides. As you advance, a voiceover reads excerpts from a letter starting with 'Dear Esther,' marking the start of a trek through a truly unique first-person game. By forgoing conventional gameplay mechanics in favor of a narrative-focused adventure, Dear Esther combines gorgeous visuals with an evocative soundtrack to weave a tale of love, grief, blame, and salvation. Key features include a distinct experience each time through randomized audio and visuals, incredible environments that fully immerse you in the island's haunting past, a poetic and semi-randomized story, a stunning soundtrack by Jessica Curry with world-class musicians, and an inventive game delivered to high AAA standards. This Landmark Edition has been rebuilt using the Unity engine, featuring a full audio remaster and a new Directors' Commentary mode where players can explore the island and learn about the inspiration and creation process by The Chinese Room and Rob Briscoe.
