Freakin LOVED Dear Esther. Really excited to see what they can do to top it. This is exactly the kind of game(?) I love.
"the team is looking at making it much more physically interactive [than Dear Esther], so you can manipulate objects, you can open and close doors."
That's some good news, Dear Esther was one of the most pretentious games I've ever seen, it barely even qualified as a game.
Stripping away the most basic features of a video game doesn't make it "An uncompromisingly inventive game".

Could be interesting, I did enjoy Dear Esther for what it was hopefully they improve on that "games" faults.
This has me excited as hell. I love the concept. Also someone needs to make a game based on American Dad's rapture episode. Just saw that.
I totally get those that didn't enjoy Dear Esther.
But I really really liked it. And, to me, was even a classic experience. The environmental design was honestly spectacular and left a surely lasting impression on me.
If they can make the story for this one a little less overly metaphorical, then I'm completely on board.

I think the article is saying that you'll *encounter* six different people, not that you'll play as them: "...Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture tells the story of six characters. In their sleepy village, they’ll go about their lives regardless of your presence, but you can interact with them, influencing their actions and the effects they’ll have on the world."
In any case, super keen for this. Loved Dear Esther, both the original mod and the final product.

Pinchbeck stated that the team is "looking at making it much more physically interactive [than Dear Esther], so you can manipulate objects, you can open and close doors."
Opening and closing doors, you say? Don't strain yourselves, dev team!
...I kid, I kid. I actually like Dear Esther, only-sort-of-interactivity and all.

Love these kinda games trying to get an emotional response from the gamer by immersing them in their worlds.
Sounds like an interesting concept. A friend gifted me Dear Esther during the Steam sale and I've been enjoying it thoroughly. Great atmosphere.
I smell Majoras Mask in this game. I've been wanting a concept like that to be reimagined for a long time. Consider it bought.
Open doors?!!?!?!? OMFG this gaem will be a revolution on interactive entertainment! I can see how they've learned from their mistakes on the past game and the feedback they received and are now making their next masterpiece! Manipulate objects! Oh, the hype! The raising blood pressure! I can't handle it!
Freely exploring and environment doesn't qualify as interactive for some people I geuss. Like their has to be guns and checkpoints for something to be interactive to them.
Honestly, I thought Dear Esther was pretty shit.
The story (as far as I've seen) was fine, but my issue was mainly with how long it takes for me to get from one point to another, and that I cannot just save and then pick it up later. I've only played as far as the first loading screen after the initial one, and both times I had to stop to run some errands. Now I just kinda lost interest in it.
People have complained about Asura's Wrath being nothing more than an interactive movie, but Dear Esther is by far the worst offender I've ever seen.
