The game that started the walk-em-up craze, Dear Esther is marching on to the PS4 and Xbox One this summer.
From the team behind Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Dear Esther sees players hiking through a Scottish island and piecing together the events that led to the death of the lead character’s wife.
PS4 and Xbox One versions will debut a new director’s commentary mode, with replays of the game accompanied by an audio retrospective of the game’s development provided by members of the original team.
The console versions will also benefit from “subtle tweaks” to how the game looks and plays to cater for the tastes of console audiences.
“Dear Esther sees players explore a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides, assuming the role of a troubled man piecing together the chain of events which lead to his wife’s death. Fragments of letters appear throughout the island, weaving a complex narrative of both the recent and distant past. As the island’s secrets are gradually revealed, players will piece together a tale which the publisher says “will remain with them long after the screen has faded to black.”
