![]() ![]() Unfortunately though, Dear Esther is a game that is supposed to evoke emotions and whilst at times I did feel drawn into the game, this is mostly thanks to the wonderfully recognised environments and not the story-telling. The times when there is no music has an equally large impact with only the sounds of the environment making the game feel all the more emphatic. In motion, the game is like a picture come to life and easily draws you in with its mature tone. Any music in the game is also minimal though can be heard at pivotal points, and what is there is excellent. Dear Esther certainly succeeds in being a very atmospheric game. The environments have been done in such a way as to make you feel you are really there, drawing you in with small details such as the wind blowing and howling as you stroll through the vast hills. ![]() Even the little mushrooms scattered about glow ominously. The lighting in the caves makes it look as though you have reached somewhere magical and fantastical, green and blue lighting giving rocks and boulders an almost neon glow. The water effects are some of the best and the way in which the cave walls look damp and moist brings the environment to life. Mostly you’ll be walking around and taking in the scenery, and the graphics are certainly glorious, especially during one section that takes place in some caves. The narrator certainly isn’t a relatable chap, sounding more like a university lecturer than an ordinary human being I certainly found myself numerous times asking who in the heck talks that way? Story-wise, it can feel very confusing with its intent to be open to interpretation and whilst the voice acting is decent, I found that the way in which the narrator spoke was rather pompous, spouting sentences full of words that makes the story sound too overly dramatic. Moving around, you reach certain areas that will then trigger dialogue from the forlorn narrator who is reading letters to a woman known as Esther.
