Dear Esther is a first-person ghost story. Rather than traditional game-play the focus here is on exploration, uncovering the mystery of a lonely island, of who you are and why you are here. Fragments of story are randomly uncovered when exploring the various locations of the island, making every each journey a unique experience.

"Päälle tunnin kestävä upea visual novel. Musiikki, ulkonäkö ja kertojaääni ovat oikeastaan niin hyvin nidottuja yhteen että pakko tästä on tykätä. Vaikka pelissä ei nyt tehdä muuta kuin kävellä paikasta toiseen, on se jollain tavalla vaan hirveän kiehtova kokonaisuudessaan. Ehdottomasti hieno erilainen indie-peli."

"Dear Esther is an impressive esoteric experiment for our generation much like Myst was for it's own. It's a visual novel embroiled in a 3D enviroment, free for you to explore, filled with interesting sights and the occasional shadowy figure, allowing you to unravel a slightly randomized story with an interesting thematical core of the existentialist variety. Honorable Mentions: The Walking Dead, Spec Ops: The Line"

"It's a good thing that I have long since abandoned the thought that video games would somehow be just games for me. I've started considering them just another form of art ready for consumption, and hence don't place any particular pressure on them to contain certain elements such as interaction with the game environment. This is key to enjoying Dear Esther, in which you simply explore a secluded island while listening to the ramblings of an insane former resident of it. Figures watch you from af"

"23.7 Pelin kaunis musiikki, mainio kerronta ja upeat maisevat vievät yksinkertaista, mutta niin upeasti toteutettua kokonaisuutta eteenpäin. Päälle tunnin mittainen elämys, jonka aikana kannattaa olla hereillä ja keskittyä tarinaan ja yleistunnelmaan. SP: 91/100 MP: -"

"What a pleasant surprise. There's something about interactive drama that I really enjoy. Many people won't like it because it's just not their thing. It's not a game in the usual sense, there's no action or violence or hardly anything except in the story the narrator describes. It's unusual that a video game of all mediums leaves so much up to the imagination. Calm, eerie, atmospheric. When playing it's like you're sitting still in time. I'm a sucker for a good story.
