Dear Esther is a 2012 adventure game developed and published by The Chinese Room. It was released for Microsoft Windows in February 2012 and OS X in May 2012. Ports for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were released by Curve Digital in September 2016. First released in 2008 as a free modification for the Source game engine, the game was entirely redeveloped for a commercial release in 2012. Featuring minimalistic gameplay, the player's only objective in the game is to explore an unnamed island in the Hebrides, Scotland, listening to a troubled man read a series of letters to his deceased wife. Details of her mysterious death are revealed as the player moves throughout the island.

The Chinese Room released a spiritual successor to Dear Esther, titled Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, in 2015.
