About Dear Esther
As one of the ancestors of the so-called walking simulator, Dear Esther immerses you in a picturesque world, a remote island in the Outer Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. The game is not based on the traditional gameplay, but presents itself as a pure story experience. You wander through breathtaking landscapes, listen to the soundtrack and gradually experience a touching story of love, loss, guilt and redemption.
Dear Esther has won numerous awards since its release in 2012, including Excellence in Visual Arts at the 2012 Independent Games Festival, Best Use of Story at the 2012 Development Awards, Visual Design, four other awards at the 2012 TIGA Awards and five Nominations at the 2012 BAFTA Awards.
