    Dear Esther

    Game » consists of 6 releases. Released Feb 14, 2012

    An unconventional Source-engine mod that features a melancholic atmosphere. Originally a university research project, it experiments by removing most typical player interactions, while seeking to still create a strong player experience. It was released as a standalone experience in 2012.

    The first Trailer is out!

    Looks fucking amazing. 
    Will probably be an Amnesia-esque survival game with an Alan Wake-esque kinda vibe.

    @AhmadMetallic: From what I recall it's just exploration of the world to discover the story. I don't think there's any survival elements or even enemies in it. Mind you that is what I gathered from the original mod, I have no idea what they could've changed.

    Probably the first game from 2012 I'm going to get; I just hope they're not charging a lot for it though...

    Cool. Seems like the kind of game you play for the story, so I'm glad that it doesn't have any puzzles keeping me from what I actually want out of it. At 10$ I might pick it up, is it coming to Steam?

    Am so getting this. Loved the mod to bits. In a subdued, thoughtful way.

    Thanks for that link. I was sorta interested in this game; I didn't really know what to expect from it... I can see what the devs are trying to do here, but I'm not sure it's for me... seems like a lot of what it offers can be experienced in other games.
