Dear Esther Has Become a Stage Play

It's incredibly rare for a video game to shift into a play performance, but it does happen. Take a look at Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - that has become a stage play!

And another game looks to follow suit: Dear Esther, which happens to be the most notable walking simulator. The title released back in 2012, creating such a heavy impact that a remastered Landmark Edition has risen. Furthermore, people will soon be able to attend an on-stage performance hosted in London, England.



According to the play's description:
 

"Starting on a small beach, with only a brooding cliffs and a small lighthouse in view, BAFTA-nominated narrator Oliver Dimsdale takes you through the game, journeying from the desolate Hebridean island to a car crash on the M5, a crisis of faith of a guilty heart, the lost shores of a dreamed shoreline and a final ascent through the waters of madness to the release of flight. With the playthrough of the game on-screen accompanied by live narration and a live performance of BAFTA-winning composer Jessica Curry's powerful score, the story is even more brought to life here."

For those curious, Jessica Curry is the composer of the video game form of Dear Esther. Though I have to say that transplanting a walking simulator into a stage play is quite interesting. I wonder how it will play out?

Unfortunately, unless the play infects the eastern shores of the United States, I won't be able to know unless it's recorded and uploaded on YouTube.

Dear Esther will be presented at 7:30PM UK time on October 14, 2016. It will be held at the Milton Cour Concert Hall. For those who happen to live in the area (lucky punks) and want to attend the play, you can book tickets at barbican.org.uk.
