As the player begins to explore a broadly linear path throughout the island, narration occurs, from British voice actor, Nigel Carrington. The player begins at the port of a lonesome Hebridean island. This remake is a full retail release, in contrast to the original mod that was released for free. The haunting music is likewise reworked by the original composer Jessica Curry. The art and detail behind the updated visuals are generally considered to be some of best that has been created with the Source engine and bears comparison with other contemporary big budget releases. In 2009, game developer Robert Briscoe, who had previously worked on a number of Source mods and then as a level designer on Mirror’s Edge, began work with Dan Pinchbeck’s approval on remaking Dear Esther with better visuals and level design. The experience is a melancholy one and is deliberately mysterious and ambiguous, an aspect enhanced by the randomization of which letter fragments get read out and when, although there remain some common interpretations that arise from assembling the scraps of information together. The game sets the player on a Hebridean island journeying and exploring across it while a voice-over periodically reads parts of a letter addressed to an unknown 'Esther'. It was primarily designed and written by Dan Pinchbeck, a lecturer and researcher at the university, who wanted to explore what was left when the normal game mechanics in a first-person shooter are removed, while still creating an engaging experience by focusing on story and atmosphere.
