What we love

1. Exquisitely constructed, both sonically and visually" (Eurogamer), "as beautiful as the game is, it’d be remiss not to mention Curry’s atmospheric soundtrack...impossible to ignore." (Edge), "spellbinding, fascinating aural landscape: a resounding success" (Square Enix), "Curry's delicate & understated musical score achieves a level of excellence.

2. 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.

3. Abandoning traditional gameplay for a pure story-driven experience, Dear Esther fuses its beautiful environments with a breathtaking soundtrack to tell a powerful story of love, loss, guilt and redemption.

4. Dear Esther is supported by Indie Fund.Key features:SoundtrackJessica Curry's haunting and beautiful soundtrack to Dear Esther, now available on Steam, has been a hit with gamers and critics alike.

5. Reviewers have said ""Curry's score reflects the player's feelings without oppressively instructing them.

6. Two years in the making, the highly anticipated Indie remake of the cult mod Dear Esther arrives on PC.

7. Dear Esther immerses you in a stunningly realised world, a remote and desolate island somewhere in the outer Hebrides.

8. It's the ultimate achievement of composition." (Bitgamer).

9. Forget the normal rules of play; if nothing seems real here, it’s because it may just be all a delusion.
