“A deserted island…a lost man…memories of a fatal crash…a book written by a dying explorer.” Two years in the making, the highly anticipated Indie remake of the cult mod Dear Esther arrives on PC. 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 it’s beautiful environments with a breathtaking soundtrack to tell a powerful story of love, loss, guilt and redemption. Winner of 2012 IGF Excellence in Visual Art. Supported by Indie Fund.

As an artist myself, I find that a tad bit insulting. That statement brings back what I would consider painful memories of Dadaism. "Art" is very inclusive, but not just anything is art. But for the record, I think video games can both be and contain powerful art.
Fantastic trailer, the game looks great and I can't wait to play it. Well done guys.
My money is ready!
goosebumps...beautiful!
Fantastic, Robert and you guys deserve all the praise you can get.
