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.

Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1/day in the week to Aug 22 → 2.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
'A deserted island... a lost man... memories of a fatal crash... a book written by a dying explorer.'
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 its beautiful environments with a breathtaking soundtrack to tell a powerful story of love, loss, guilt and redemption.
Every play-through a unique experience, with randomly generated audio, visuals and events.
Explore incredible environments that fully immerse you in the haunting island and its mysterious past.
A poetic, semi-randomised story like you've never experienced in a game before.
Stunning soundtrack composed by Jessica Curry, featuring world-class musicians.
An uncompromisingly inventive game delivered to the highest AAA standards.
Dear Esther: Landmark Edition has been remade with the Unity engine, featuring a full audio remaster, and the addition of a brand-new Directors' Commentary mode, allowing players to explore the island and learn what inspired the game and how it was crafted by The Chinese Room and Rob Briscoe.

Reviews
as someone who really enjoys games that contemplate nature I can really tell that it is a nice one, also because of the story narrated through the letter.
It's one of the first Walking Simulators made and I highly recommend putting it into your collection if your a fan of Walking Simulators! 10/10

This game is a trip. One you can take many times.
이 게임 겉모습은 아니지만 인터랙티브 무비입니다. 아니 그것보다 더 못해요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 이 장르 싫어하시는 분들은 절대 비추입니다.(그게 나야~ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ) 플레이한 시간조차 아까운 게임입니다.
A very atmospheric game wich touches on some heavy subjects Its also pretty short taking only about 1 hour but it uses that pretty good 8/10 almost made me cry
A beautiful game. Even if you do not like walking simulators, you should play this little piece of art.
Я попробовал, мне стало легче после смены озвучки на русскую. рекомендую. Нужно просто в тяжелый эмоциональный период прийти сюда, но не так что жизнь тлен, а как поиск смыслов и я уверяю - вы его найдете снова
Where before I used to be opposed to this game and what it set out to achieve, these days I'm nostalgic for a time where I cared that much.
Своеобразная атмосфера, на один, в целом не плохо ,раз на любителя, НО историю рассказчика я так ни разу и не услышал 9 ачивок из 10
