Chinese Room and Secret Mode are currently available for free to players on Steam, Dear Esther: Landmark Edition. You can add the game to your library for free until February 16th.
Dear Esther: Landmark Edition is a remake. This improved version includes audio enhancements and a brand new Director Comment section.
Dear Esther draws you into a stunningly realistic world, a remote and uninhabited island outside the Hebrides. As you walk, a voice begins to read the pieces of a letter: ‘Dear Esther…’- and begins the journey through the most original first-person game of recent years.
Unlike traditional games, Dear Esther is a purely story-centric experience, offering beautiful landscapes as well as breathtaking music that adorns a powerful story of love, loss, guilt and redemption.
Dear Esther: Landmark Edition features a Director’s Commentary section that lets players discover the island and learn what inspired the game, The Chinese Room, and how it was created by Rob Briscoe.
