    Today, we take a close look at an indie videogame that was released on Steam a week ago, Dear Esther, a first-person ghost story. Rather than traditional game-play the focus here is on exploration, uncovering the mystery of a lonely island, of who you are and why you are here. Fragments of story are randomly uncovered when exploring the various locations of the island, making every each journey a unique experience.

    Without further ado...


    Thanks for watching!

    *Feedback/constructive criticism much appreciated :)

    Nice to see something different in terms of game choice. You're also an eloquent, energetic and confident speaker which is also great. Not sure why you kept mentioning the lack of nostalgia though, nostalgia for what? Why did that make you not like the game?

    When I was talking about nostalgia, I was meaning to say that people aren't going to be particularly attached to the story. In my opinion, Dear Esther is an easily forgettable game. Thanks for the compliment (you're exaggerating btw)!
