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\. ## Game information - Type: game - Developer: The Chinese Room, Robert Briscoe - Publisher: Secret Mode - Release date: Feb 14, 2017 - Coming soon: false - Free to play: false - Parent Steam app: Not collected - Genres: Adventure, Casual, Indie, Free To Play - Categories: Single\-player, Steam Achievements, Full controller support, Steam Cloud, Commentary available, Remote Play on TV, Family Sharing - Platforms: windows, mac - Website: Not collected - Screenshots: https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/520720/ss\_95687755cdd1355c1017aefee15d14ec769a33fd\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1785494997, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/520720/ss\_2d6270a47ef681a1f78ec3e6e18fbb716c6cb9f9\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1785494997, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/520720/ss\_766871156cae020add2364406d7e7008803d5696\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1785494997, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/520720/ss\_86e7dcae38afe8f4a6557c667e48cdbf3f9220ac\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1785494997, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/520720/ss\_604d22b3ff0a67d09b7bf7dac1c6d3f40de56218\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1785494997, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/520720/ss\_4c94be72812371af16ab1370e83aed76687f06d4\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1785494997, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/520720/ss\_4eca3e8c2f89b7181b0742e90da8ab6943ff7aa6\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1785494997, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/520720/ss\_c4975fc5de1b03e2df8bc5df1d573f4e5796f829\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1785494997, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/520720/ss\_4c154057e9a392d14c4ef9de6ec49adda7ff254c\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1785494997 - Price: 999 minor units USD; discount 0% - Price country: US ## Observed metrics - Current players: 4 - Steam review count: 7568 - Steam positive reviews: 5643 - Steam negative reviews: 1925 - Steam positive percentage: 74.56395348837209% - Summer DB rating: No native votes Review filters: \{"language":"all","review\_type":"all","purchase\_type":"all","filter\_offtopic\_activity":0\} ## Player history [Seven-day chart data as Markdown](/api/v1/entities/a5d131ba-da4d-4772-a9e0-64cf08f61c0c/player-metrics?days=7&format=markdown) · [JSON](/api/v1/entities/a5d131ba-da4d-4772-a9e0-64cf08f61c0c/player-metrics?days=7) Chart values are hourly observed maxima.
