Oh man. I played the original HL2 mod of that back in the day and the build I played was a bit glitchy. At various points of it, a silhouette of Esther appears in the distance to the point you’re not sure if you’ve seen her, but on one play through, the silhouetted female NPC model didn’t disappear for me and I was able to get up close to it. That was almost as eerie and profound as how the mod was supposed to be.
The original Stanley Parable was a HL2 mod around the same time as well. I liked that enough to buy the official release later. Not so for Esther.
Dear Esther
