Dear Esther: Landmark Edition has been remade with the Unity engine, featuring a full audio remaster, and the addition of a brand-new Directors' Commentary mode, allowing players to explore the island and learn what inspired the game and how it was crafted by The Chinese Room and Rob Briscoe.

Gorgeous experience. Great scenery, beautiful sound track, and I very much enjoyed the use of language. They leaned a bit too hard into metaphor and letting every player have their own interpretation for my tastes. I think the game would have benefited from a little less ambiguity, at least towards the end. I didn't quite get the emotional payoff I was hoping for.
