I purchased Dear Esther back in 2012. Over 10 years later, I played the Landmark Edition and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised that I still love it despite not having touched it since then. Particularly with all the modern graphics, gameplay standards, and more. I am not a poet and only have a somewhat passable understanding of what art is, which is why this walking-simulator experience is perfect for me. I had questions then and I still have them now. The game is open to interpretation, which suits me, but it also means it may not appeal to everyone.


As a final thing, I always remembered a quote from the game: "I've begun my voyage in a paper boat without a bottom; I will fly to the moon with it."
I never fully understood its meaning, so I have created my own interpretation of it. I like it, and it only took somewhere near 10 years to make one. Better late than never, right?
