Dear Esther Mac port confirmed
by Alice O'Connor, Feb 14, 2012 5:00pm PSTThe gorgeous commercial mod remake Dear Esther launched today but only for Windows, much to the chagrin of Mac users who played the original on their white computers. Fear not! A Mac version is indeed in the works.
"We can confirm a Mac port is on the way!" creator Dan Pinchbeck said on Twitter today. What more need he say?
A Mac release had seemed likely, as Dear Esther's built upon Valve's cross-platform source engine--the version used for Portal 2, to be specific. However, we can now all add "There will be a Mac port of Dear Esther" to the Big Book of Facts we all carry around to double-check what's real and what's not.
Dear Esther is out now on Steam at $9.99. Initial reviews are looking delightfully positive considering it's an ghost story where you mostly potter about an abandoned island--hardly mainstream fare.
Look, look at how pretty this game is:
Chatty: Diablo III, Dragon's Dogma
FileShack: Unity of Command, Skyjacker
Daily Filter: Planetside 2, Deadlight
Weekend PC digital deals: strategy-o-rama
38 Studios, Harry Potter Kinect - Shacknews Daily: May 25, 2012
