The Chinese Room proposal invites us to tour an abandoned island accompanied by a voiceover.
We know the franchise Half-Life for being an icon in the shooter world, but we have seen some mods that really exploit the potential of first-person games. This is the case of Dear Estherwhich started out as a mod for Half-Life 2 and in 2012 it became a complete game that, although it replaced the shots with a narrative adventure about touring an island captivated the players from its first week on the market.
Dear Esther is available for free download until February 15Have passed ten years since this launch, and that is why the developers of The Chinese Room have decided to celebrate such an event with the free download of the game via Steam. In this way, between today and tomorrow February 15 we can get a copy of Dear Esther at zero cost, as a gift from the authors to the entire community.
Dear Esther takes us on a abandoned island through a quite differential premise at that time. The Chinese Room invites us to explore this territory accompanied by a voiceover that narrates the history of the place as a literary storyso no actions other than walking and listening are required.
The success of The Chinese Room with this adventure has led it to participate in larger developments What Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. Returning to the free game that they offer from Steam, in our Dear Esther review We tell you how surprising an initiative is that risks create something different and, as a result, gives us a magnificent audiovisual story.
