I recently bought the excellent Humble Indie Bundle 9 and was delighted to see Dear Esther included.

I played Dear Esther when it first came out last year, in a dark room, with several beers through the night in one big greedy sitting. It's a beautiful, intriguing, captivating "game" that has no real gaming mechanics to speak of. It's a story, a journey through a beautiful landscape.

It is difficult to recommend to those who's only gaming is spent attempting to prestige for the 60th time -- and there's nothing wrong with that! However; for anybody looking for something a little different and a journey that you'll not soon forget I highly recommend checking this out.

Enjoy.

i hate the fact someone took the key without saying thanks!

It is cool game.

Someone took it without thanking? For shame. I played through it last week and really enjoyed it.

@pollysmps: You're truly history's greatest monster.

@jimmyfenix: Would you like a key?

yes if you have one!

Eh. Honestly it's not that big of a deal because you obviously meant to thank them for it. My last post was entirely in jest. No harm done.

@i_am_lono: Yep! Totally agree. I actually followed the blog of Robert Briscoe (the lead artist and designer) on the development of this, and was really awe struck by his talent on environment design. Very inspiring stuff.

So, yeah, here's another one: EMW0P-NF3N6-FCGZE

@toastman: Got it. Thanks a lot duder. If Dear Esther is anything like Proteus then it's a given that I'll like it a lot.

You are very welcome :) I hope you enjoy the game.
