Feb 13, 2011 Full Version 23 commentsThis is the original Source Mod for Dear Esther. Last updated 22/01/2009
Dear Esther is an award-winning, critically acclaimed, experimental first-person game. Built in the Source engine, it abandons traditional gameplay, leaving only a rich world soaked in atmosphere, and an abstract, poetic story to explore. Dear Esther was originally launched in 2008 and is currently being rebuilt by Robert Briscoe - watch this space for updates.

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...
Enjoy Dear Esther and many other great mods on Desura. Also don't forget to check out the Dear Esther game now in development.

I dont get it, if the game is $10 then why is there still a mod? >o<
Because it's was redeveloped by indie's to make it better. No one is forcing you to get the new version it's just goes to the indie fund.
My PC sucks BIIIIIIIIG *****!!This mod looks awesome!WISH OTHER MODS HAD THIS KIND OF GRAPHICS!!!Can someone post me the sys requirements for this mod?My bro had it and I was like D :
My game worked fine when I first installed it, now it crashes as soon as I get to the loading screen to the main menu. I've tried reinstalling but it didn't work :[
It's funny, the free version is actually better than the Steam version.
Alan Wake story?
I'd known about this for a while but never got around to trying it, so when I heard that they were doing a legit remake I bought it as soon as it came out and it was really good. Short, confusing, but good.

It's a commercial remake as its own standalone game, not a mod.
