#DEAR ESTHER GHOST SIGHTINGS SIMULATOR#
This walking simulator is rife with intertext and biblical references - a layer cake of potential meanings. It is at this point the narrator made the conscious decision of taking his own life as shown at the aerial. Dear Esther is a remarkable, haunting game. This might be a reflection of his major depression, followed by his 'ascent'. At this point, you have to navigate inside the caves and climb up again. The area is fairly precarious, with long drops and narrow passages providing potential obstacles for the player.Īs the narrator falls down into the caves, he realizes that 'there is no turning back'. Other human sightings include a number of origami paper boats, which have been left to float in one of the many streams. The cave paintings, produced by mixing regular cyan paint with the glowing fungi, depict chemical equations and circuit diagrams.
The area is lit by a combination of bioluminescent fungi and cave paintings. Many parts are also littered with collections of stalactites and stalagmites. Natural features include a number of underground streams, waterfalls, stone bridges and sinkholes. The caves are a combination of narrow passages and huge chambers.
