Dear Esther was created by the British studio The Chinese Room using the Source engine and saw its initial release in 2012. The game invites players onto a desolate desert island and unfolds as a first-person walking simulator. Players navigate bleak environments while listening to a haunting inner narration. There are no combat encounters or traditional puzzles; the experience is focused on atmosphere, exploration, and storytelling through ambient voiceovers.
