        That trailer told me nothing about the game... I bet its some kind of generic fps with a spooky plot :P

          It's something like Trauma.

            Dear Esther "just" tells a story. There are no puzzles to solve, there is no inventory and nothing/nobody to shoot.
            You cannot jump nor run. Interaction with the environment is practically non-existing and limited to more or less
            obvious trigger points which drives the story.

            Having said that, *I* loved it - not only for its beautiful artwork.

            Dear Esther ist different.

              Why do I get the feeling people are confusing the Source Engine with the Steam platform itself?

                Because we discuss Half-Life 2 mod here.

                  But it's not a mod anymore, is it? I thought the original game (which was a mod) was remade into a standalone one.

                    I was assuming that players would be forced to activate and launch the Source Engine game through Steam, just like every other Source game I know of.

                      Oh, you are right.
