Those looking for a fresh dose of strolling simulator in their life may be enthused to learn that Dear Esther will walk 500 miles to the PlayStation 4 on 20th September. This is the acclaimed adventure game by Brighton-based developer The Chinese Room, and preceded Everybody's Gone to the Rapture on the PC. This new version will come with Trophies, as well as a director's commentary mode.
The game divided opinion upon its release, but that didn't stop it from earning five BAFTA award nominations all the way back in 2013. If you're a fan of games like Gone Home, then you're probably going to want to give this one a spin when it deploys next month.

Trophies are kind of meaningless in a game like this.
Will definitely pick this up as my laptop is parp and can't really handle all that much. Soundtrack is great (Jessica Curry) too.
And yes, quite enjoyed Gone Home!
oh Dear God no. i swore to never even look at this game again after playing it on pc.
visuals were nice at the time but this is far from being a game and is one of the most boring stories i have ever heard/read.
I am buying this day one. I loved Rapture, loved Jessica Curry's music and I know I will love the experience.
I will totally not cry as well.
I LOVED everybody has gone to the rapture instant buy.
@Ralizah Trophies are kind of meaningless in all games really though.
Didn't enjoy this or Gone Home on PC, so if you haven't found one of these games you like yet, I doubt this will change your mind. I think Telltale's games and things like Danganronpa are about the limit of my ability to enjoy this branch of gaming.
... will walk 1000 miles to fall down at your door!
