Last year, The Chinese Room released a console version of its flagship non-combat exploration game Dear Esther—named the Landmark Edition—even suggested it would come to PC Gamers.. Now they are doing exactly that, the developer has revealed, and will be completely free-of-charge to owners of the original on Steam as of 6pm GMT/10am PT tomorrow.
With it comes remastered audio and developer commentary for the game which is widely considered to have sparked the ‘walking simulator’ genre. It’s been ported from the original Source Engine onto Unity 5 and has additional accessibility options, large subtitles, a crosshair, multi-language options, and a smattering of trophies and achievements.
Since the launch of the 2012 original, a number of similar games have come along such as The Chinese Room’s own Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture.
