Welcome the Half Life 2 mod, Dear Esther. It would be rude to call Dear Esther a game, it is one of thechineseroom's numerous projects in first person story telling. The game is, simply, a walk across a landscape. There is no action and basic controls. Movement is limited to walking, crawling or jumping.Trust me on this, you want to walk. A voice in your head is constantly speaking to you. The "voice in your head" is your voice, not the protagonist's voice, your voice. The dialog was split up into multiple sections, with one of three pieces playing when you pass certain landmarks on your long journey. This works surprisingly well, and you have to challenge your self to put the story together, piece by piece. I am not going to say anything about the story, it will be better for you to find out for yourself. You must download this, really. It will change your mind on what a first person game can be, and what it is.
