Dear Esther

First released as a Half-life 2 mod in 2008, released on its own in 2012.
First played on the 16th October 2013. I'd bought it on Steam quite a bit earlier, probably a year or maybe even more earlier. In October 2013 I was working hard at McD's and not getting much me-time, and took the opportunity of a Wednesday off to sit on my computer all day. I was watching 'Extra Credits' on YouTube (at Hayley's recommendation) and Dear Esther was mentioned as a rare modern game that captured the essence of the failing genre of 'survival horror'. It isn't a survival horror, but I'm glad I played it. Short, and demands that you just sit and let yourself be immersed (no running, WHAT!?), but if you find yourself in the right mood I definitely think it's worth playing.
