I'd like to point out at this moment in the story that even if Dear Esther did nothing more than start that conversation, I would feel like it has been a complete success. It seemed like everyone was trying to answer the question: "when does a game stop being a game, and become something else entirely?" I remember this game coming out, because I remember the response and all the online discourse around the very thing that made it unique. When Dear Esther originally released, the term "walking simulator" had yet to be coined, and purely narrative games where unheard of beyond a few key examples that were pushing the limits of what can be done in a game and how stories may be told. If you're not sure what I'm referring to, then let's have a quick recap. I had questions that needed answering and I was about to find out for myself, just what the hell everyone keeps arguing about. I felt like I was meeting an old friend, while getting to know a stranger. There I was, finally about to experience on of the most controversial and hotly debated games released in modern times.
When I recently loaded up Dear Esther for the first time and started playing, I couldn't contain the excitement I was feeling.
