Indie title finds more commercial success following Steam sale
Developers Thechineseroom have announced that their indie title Dear Esther has reached 250,000 copies sold milestone following a big discount during Steam's Summer Sales event.

Fragments of story are randomly uncovered when exploring the various locations of the island, making every each journey a unique experience.
The title is available for PC and Mac. For more on the game, be sure to check out our Dear Esther Review.
