Dear Esther is a mod built with the Source engine (the same used for Half-Life 2, among other games). While designed in First-Person Shooter format, it is in reality more of a sparse, linear narrative with complete emphasis on the plot. This is a story that you quite literally walk through - nothing is trying to kill you, and there are no puzzles that you must solve to progress. Unless, of course, you count the plot. The remake with improved graphics is available on Steam. The old version can be found here.

  • Dear Esther is a mod built with the Source engine (the same used for Half-Life 2, among other games). While designed in First-Person Shooter format, it is in reality more of a sparse, linear narrative with complete emphasis on the plot. This is a story that you quite literally walk through - nothing is trying to kill you, and there are no puzzles that you must solve to progress. Unless, of course, you count the plot. A remake was released in 2012 featuring vastly improved graphics, remastered audio, and a much more intuitive level design for the environments (one common criticism of the original mod). The remake with improved graphics is available on Steam. The old version can be found here. WARNING: Due to the nature of its narrative, it is all but impossible to describe the tropes in Dear Esther without spoiling the crap out of it. If you have not experienced it yet (and we highly recommend you do,) do not read any further.
