Dear Esther..

Esther is such a beautiful name. I never thought I would see it as the title of a computer game. Dear Esther is one of the most visually beautiful games I have ever played in my life. The score that accompanies this game is outstanding and haunting.

It is not your typical game in the sense that your only buttons are to move and look around you. You are set loose on a beautifully rugged island. As soon as the game starts we are greeted by the narrator who stays with us through the coming , fading in and out to give us more clues as to what is going on.

I recommended this to anyone and everyone. It is a new style of gaming that is really like reading a book. At the end of this game I was left with many questions and I don't think I will ever really know what happened. Everyone draws there own conclusion and no one knows if there one is right.

The Chinese Room ( the company who made this) will have a very successful career if there games stay on the high standard of elegance in terms of storyline and graphics.
