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 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

Игра где парень приехал на заброшенный остров, где у него случилось помутнение рассудка и он покончил собой с вышки маяка. Сюжет написан в какой то произвольной форме, с уклоном в поэзию. Ничего не понятно, но ИИ говорит, что игры имеет глубоки смысл. Поверим ему на слово
What a depressing empty game that I have played. A must try.
Бывают игры, которые не забываются. Эта как раз из таких. Люблю её всем сердцем, перепрошел уже 3 раза и каждый раз нахожу что то новое. Настоящее интерактивное искусство. Для меня она мгновенно улетела в топ лучших сюжетных приключений, прямо к Firewatch, What Remains of Edith Finch, The Stanley Parable и Everybodys Gone to the Rapture. Если вы цените сильные истории это одна из них. Заслуженные 10 из 10.

[h1] Who Will Remember Donnelly? [/h1] Dear Esther is a fantastic walking sim. I want to urge you, that if you do not like slow narrative drive games, where you do not shoot, drive, or interact with things, then this is perfect! It is not a bad game by any means, but it is true to the name "Walking Simulator." You will walk through various places, hear detailed descriptions of stories and interpretations of the narrator's mind. This game is all about interpretating the monologue of the main character. It leaves the story open ended for a good reason. Overall, I do recommend to check this game out, because you come out on the other side having a deeper connection to yourself and a story.
作为步行模拟来说的话风景很不错。 然后说实话不太能够理解剧情……
Oynamayın Hikaye trafik kazası sonucunda eşini kaybeden Michael adında bir cerrah, İskoçya'nın bir adada keşiş hayatı yaşadığını anlamamızla başlıyor, kazaya başkası sebep olmuş ama vicdan azabını kendi çekiyor, sağa sola dağa taşa help me yazacağına kendini cezalandırmak istiyor olacak ki kimya formülleri ve bazı görsel tasvirleri çiziyor gittiği her yerde bulduğu bir mektup var ama çoğu mektubunu eşine ulaşamayacağının farkında olduğu için denize kayık yapıp bırakıyor, mağaraya düşmüş bacağı kırıp mağaranın dışına çıkmayı başarıyor. Yolculuk esnasında mağarada falan karşılaştığı her cismi, taşı kayayı bir iç organa ya da hastane ekipmanına benzetiyor, o kısımlarda zaten bi sikimi anlamadım. Neyse, çıkıyor mağaradan. Baz istasyonuna tırmanırken yine halüsinasyon görüyor, sonra sen çık kulenin tepesine aşağı atla. Yere çakılmadan kuş olup uçuyor bir de, güya ruhu özgürleşti. Hay amk fazla eleştirmişim gibi oldu ama bence oyundaki tek ve en büyük sorun o bulduğu mektupların, ses kayıtlarının düzgün bir şekilde birleştirilip mantıklı bir sonuca ulaşamaması. Bedava aldığınız bile kabahat, almayın.
Interesante.
