I feel like if the sounds would slowly fade out over 3 minutes you'd know there was nothing else.Dear Esther is a first-person exploration and adventure video game developed by The Chinese Room for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Ended up alt tabbing and googling to see if there was anything else. I wish the ending faded away the sounds, I sat there for 2 minutes thinking like you are probably suppose to, then I noticed the sounds were still going, and I waited 2 more minutes to see if anything else would happen. There seemed to be a slight battle between science and religion as well, there was a few Bible verses, the Bible on the ground, and talk of religious people. And he came to the island to be set free/die.Īpparently those chemical signs are alcohol, I'm not sure what the transistor wiring diagrams were for though. There also seems to be a lot of guilt your character is carrying, and emotional and physical baggage, I feel like after the car crash your character was addicted to pills, obsessive, and ill. Ester died in the car crash, and I think your character died in the wreck as well and was revived, I think there was a line about him being at the before, and there as a defibrillator. The island seems to be limbo or symbolic, it sounded like the character visited the island before, there was a car accident and a drunk, I feel they are related. but game-press, casuals, regular gamer-types see this as a one time, 2 hour game play experience.Īll I'm saying is they have a point and their allowed to feel that they didnt get $10 worth of game-time. hell most of anyone on this forum would, because the art is so fantastic.

I saw that with my GF who works at a movie theater so I got in for free but yeah if I had to pay for that I'd be pissed too. for Me I look at it as simply an artistic expression in a different medium. value is subjective ofcourse but for me, I know how many meh movies Ive seen for 15 bucks vs owning a gorgeous piece of art (wouldn't call it a game really) for 10. I can play through it any time i want again and look at it as inspiration. normallly tickets for 1hr20 mins of grabage i dont bat an eye, so I was more than satisfied by owning the game and its 2+hrs playtime with fantastic art. I paid over 10 dollars to see that piece of shit new underworld movie on a cheap night. I was just personally hoping for little more than a story experienced through the first person perspective. I liked Dear Esther and would recommend it to any gamer looking a something different, obtainable and visually stunning videogame experience. Perhaps it was so the bit at the end had an even stronger emotion tied but there was never really a sense of clarity when I was hoping there would be. While visually different, even part of the story through the caves gave off the same vibe as the island: More unease and uncertainty. And while I can appreciate the sense of unease and uncertainty I do wish the experience had some contrasting moods along the way. It goes without saying that Dear Esther is a pretty abstract experience. I doubt that's a mutual feeling amongst everyone who's played it, but that's certainly how I feel. I've read a couple of story theories online that I really have no reason to go through it again for its story. Going through it again at that pace and hitting on more random narrations isn't that appealing. I felt I learned enough of the story to piece it well enough together and satisfy what I had just experienced.
Right now its only the latter bit drawing me back when I do wish it were both the experience and the setting. I suppose the expectation with Dear Esther was that people would want to go back to the game to get more of the randomly queued narration to learn more of the story and check out more of Robert's work. I like to think that all game designers aim to have their games played more than once that there'd be a reason for someone to come back to the game once they've beaten it.
Something simple as 'Collect 100 red stones' even.
I'm hesitant to write that I wish Dear Esther had more objective gameplay, as it feels very much its a story being told through the videogame medium and nothing more, I will write this: I wish it had more objective things to do. I did, however, not get on with the experience itself to well. My reference folder filled up nicely while playing through the game - thank you for that! NOTE: There's spoilers in my comments on Dear Esther below.īriscoe's environment work was stellar.
