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...
Dear esther is a very different mod, not the usual FPS you see being made these days. The atmosphere of the island is strong and very ambient. It gets you thinking on why the main character is on this island and what happened to him, what is happening to him right now and what is going to happen to him throughout the island as a broken man.
As the description explains "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..." I saw quite a few things on the island which i wont spoil to you but i can say they are quite interesting and leads you to where they're going.
The mod is very well made and makes you think. The narrator explains the situations easily and the mod itself is great to play and really gets you thinking.
So it gets a 9/10 from me
