What an exciting week we’ve had; getting four nominations at IGF was amazing enough but we also just had our very first (and very positive) review published in Edge Magazine today, with a score of 8/10! Finally, to top it all off, we now have an official Steam Store Page! To celebrate we wanted to do something special...
...And here it is – our first Official Trailer!
Not long to go now until February 14th - So go head over to our Steam Page and be sure to put Dear Esther on your Wish List!
In the meantime be sure to check out our official website for the Full HD Trailer, news and other media!
Absolutely wonderful.
instant buy!
will there be a retail "real phyisical" version too?
We're toying with the idea of doing a limited collectors edition at some point post-release, with a physical disc/box etc. again, all depends on how well sales go and if we can afford to fund it. Would be nice though!
On feb 14, 2011 I asked the developers if I should wait for the new game or play the old one first. They said to wait for the new version. I am very happy they aren't making me wait over a year but, they are cutting it a little close. The game looks truly amazing.
Dear Esther was one of my favorite mods when it looked like one. Now it looks really fantastic, and I hope many people get the opportunity to experience this simple, yet elegant story.
When I played it "to" a friend, all he did when taking over was bunny-hopping and complaining there is nothing to do. The finer detail of the narration completely escaped him. I wondered then, if I could be wrong about Esther being a great game. However, now I see again that he was just an idiot ;)
Congrats! looks great :) On my wishlish and bought when I have more time :D

Grats on the nominations and all the praise you received. It's well deserved. It looks absolutely stunning!
You have my money.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
To my oogling my eye it looked really amazing. Hard to say which one has better atmosphere, original or this one. 2009 mod was first of this type of storytelling/gameplaying I had fortune to stumble upon, so it has a special place in my heart nevertheless any crudeness considering mapping and/or other things. Both versions got me goose bumped! Great work indeed!
