(UPDATED) Dear Esther - Official trailer p1 (out Feb 14th)

5/10

It is decent, I just think it needed more to it.

Also... Mind telling me what actually happened in this game?

Were you in an accident? Or was Esther? And what is up with the drawings and the ghosts?

Read about this in Edge and thought it look great. Glad it's on Steam, would like it a bit cheaper though but I'll buy it now anyway. Looks pretty.

Cross-posting from the screenshot thread.

Screenies megapost (about 50 screens). I got totally sucked in to this, and got quite snap happy whilst I was at it. It just looks so good all the time. I'd love a mod or something that could offer a bit more camera control, maybe, but to be honest, it already looks stunning.

Although the below screenshots don't really contain any spoilers as such, I would recommend experiencing it for yourself before you spend too long looking at images of it, in case they spoil just how good these things look when they're revealed to you in game.

Such a gorgeous game, (if you can call it a game, it's more of an interactive story, really,) I can't remember the last time I was so impressed so often by what I was seeing on screen.

For what this was I couldn't fault it. Totally worth the asking price, and a great narrative experience, something very Victorian gothic about it. Very mysterious and macabre, yet eloquent and enthralling at the same time. 9/10, would play/experience again.

What a wonderful little thing this is. Utterly gorgeous too, some of the design work in the cave section is just astounding.

Find myself wanting to load it up again at some point to see whether some of the narration changes. Would also love to sit and watch someone else go through it, which is kind of a rarity in itself. Lovely stuff. :wub:

The narration does change a little each play through, and it is good to wander through a second time I found, there are things that are easily missed.

Bawt just now. So how long is it? Would I have time to do it in one sitting? Mays even tonight?

I'm going to assume you've already started and finished by now, but yes, you could.

Well, I started it, then got to the caves. Then I hit quit to menu to check how far that was through the thing to see if it was worth continuing tonight (couldn't remember if it was chapter 2 or 3 when I was starting), and it's lost all my progress.

Finally got to playing this. More questions than answers.

Awesome.
