  I should’ve dropped when I stopped caring. Got academic dismissal instead. Years later, I was tired of bs jobs, and I was ready to make it work. I went back to school part-time and earned my 4-year degree in a grand total of 12 years. Hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I don’t have to bear that sense of failure anymore.

  I think that when you’re ready to make that push, you’ll know. Your journey is unique.

  Thanks a ton. I saw some other comments with spoilers flagged that were working, but they weren’t indented in block quotes, if it helps. I suck at markdown stuff, so that’s the best I can guess for troubleshooting.

  I’ve tried some other games to try find a similar experience to Esther, but the quality of DE has proven to be rather rare.

  What Remains of Edith Finch was similarly evocative, in many ways. I want to try The Unfinished Swan at some point, as a follow-up.

  Leviathan was one that couldn’t click with me. I hate blaming the voice acting, because he certainly had the chops, so I’m guessing he wasn’t directed to be a sympathetic narrator, so much. I won’t say more, but I think they were just going in a different direction/vibe in that game.

  Life is strange. Repeatedly.

  This game was memorable and phenomenal. However, I don’t think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much if I’d known the massive spoiler in your comment. It looks like you tagged it or something, but it’s still showing up in plain text on lemmy.

  Dear Esther stuck with me in a profound way. It was my gateway to a whole new genre. It broke my brain a little, as i initially tried to explore every nook and cranny of the boundaries of each area. The game grinds to a halt if you play that way. To any newcomer, just stay on or near the paths, and let the story unfold. There are no hidden chests or discoverables - just an incredible narration through memories and questions, and a chilling ost.
