The atmosphere as you explore the island is very spooky, without (so far at least) any antagonists out to get you.
I’ve restarted the game enough times to discover that there a number of different statements that you hear as you start. As you start, you hear (and read) a voice over (you?) with subtitles, introducing you to the Island and the mysterious Esther (maybe you are Esther?). You start the game on the shore of a deserted (Scottish?) island, by an abandoned lighthouse. That said, I’ve already begun to pick at the story structure, and I’m finding it more linear than I expected. So the game is taking me longer than two hours. (Which is weird because I never suffer from it in the real world.)
#Dear esther narrator mod#
It’s a narrative experience that first appeared as a mod for Half-Life (a First Person-Shooter), and which was then released as a stand-alone “game.” I’m told it takes two or three hours of play to complete, but I’ve been stymied today by the thing that gets me in FPS games – motion sickness. I’ve been trying to find my way around Dear Esther today.
