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.

Reviews
A phenomenal short story game, it doesn't have a lot of interaction with the player but here honestly its a good thing, the game lets you go through its ambiguous and extremely poetic heartfelt story at your own pace and its a great playthrough to do in one sitting.
as vezes eu esqueço que os jogos são uma obra de arte, e esse jogo é exatamente isso, ele te coloca em um simulador de caminhada chato e lento, inclusive na 2° jogatina com a narração dos devs eles mencionam ''não queria colocar sprint para os jogadores só rusharem'', o jogo é intencionalmente devagar e calmo, ele deixa vc com um sentimento de solidão e melancólico, cria toda uma imersão em cima da historia com uma narração e uma trilha sonora incrível, esse jogo não é para pessoas viciadas em redes sociais ou jogos online, ele acalma a sua mente e te conta uma historia simples e imersiva, os devs tbm comentam q um dos desafios era tentar criar uma conexão com o jogador usando a trilha sonora e as paisagens e isso de fato funcionou, inclusive até comentam de jumpscare msm n sendo de terror e ainda sim o jogo consegue te deixar desconfortável e com receio, gostei de como complementam no final q a nossa vida é sobre escolhas e ações e q não tem como voltar atrás e o tempo passa em um piscar de olhos, recomendo para vc q quer uma coisa mais melancólica e depressiva, o único ponto negativo é q n tem tradução pt-br

'워킹 시뮬레이션' 장르에서 나름 유명한 게임. 기대가 크면 실망도 크다고 하죠? 기대가 작아서 실망은 가능하다! 그게 말이 되는 거냐고? 말이 되긴 하더라고요.
Definición absoluta de lo que es un walking simulator. Magníficos paisajes y brillante banda sonora.

absolute masterpiece
Jugado completo en Steamdeck y funciona todo ok (basta con entrar a opciones y poner letras en grande). Juego corto aunque con buenos escenarios. Sin embargo la narración que debería ser de los puntos fuertes no me ha llamado demasiado la atención y el mayor problema que le veo es que parece un juego de exploración pero TE CASTIGA por explorar ¿Parece interesante ir por ese camino? Pues te has saltado una parte que era un callejón sin salida para volver hasta este otro camino. ¿Quizás allí hacia ese lado hay algo? No, nada de nada. Solo te permito ir hasta allí a paso de tortuga para que te desesperes al tener que hacer todo el camino de vuelta igual de lentamente. No le doy negativo ya que tampoco es mal juego pero MEH.
하다가 걍 답답해서 껏어요. 좀더 해봐야 알것 같음요. 스토리는 뭔소리인지.. 귀신이라도 나오면 재밌을듯..
