I've now played Dear Esther twice, and on the second play things 'come together' some more. You take more notice of the words written on the walls in luminous paint (words from the Bible), the symbols (electronic and chemical), the sounds, the music, the titles of the books that you find ......... and the assorted creepy figures that usually scuttle out of view once they know you are looking at them.
This island is most definitely haunted, and knowing that there are ghosts out there makes it even more of a creepy experience.
It's all rather mysterious, and I love that.
Those who judge it negatively on one walk-through really need to try it again.
