From the game development studio The Chinese Room, we have the newly ported walking simulator title of Dear Esther. It is currently available on the App Store for just 4,99 U.S dollars (Rs 350). It is one of those classic titles which initiated the rise of the adventure walking simulator genre. We have covered this port before on our site. You could read more about it here.
Here we have a trailer for Dear Esther:
Dear Esther
The announcement that an iOS version of Dear Esther would hit the market this year was first revealed back in August, and just a couple of days ago, the title hit Apple's App Store as a premium game.
For many people, it is the graphic style and the storyline that draws them to Dear Esther, Unfortunately, the game is not very wrong. If you sit down and focus on playing it, you could finish it in just two hours. Though, the thing that I love about Dear Esther is the music of Jessica Curry.
According to the developer, it plans to use this iOS port to lead to the release of Little Orpheus, which is set for next year. I want to see how that would turn out.
Maybe more ports?
I also hope that one day we will get Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture on a modern mobile platform. If that does happen, it will very be likely the work of Annapurna Interactive as this studio has been porting many PS exclusives to mobile recently.
If you want to replay or wish to try Dear Esther for the first time, you could get it on Apple's App Store for just 4.99 U.S dollars (Rs 350). But remember that you will need iOS 9.0 or later to run the title.
