All of the narration from the ultimate walking simulator, Dear Esther.
People tend to bash this game for being not much of a, uh, game, but I personally adore Dear Esther. It's one of those games I'll throw on when I'm feeling stressed and need something to decompress. Walking through that island also let me enjoy my time in Ireland, since the islands there resembled the island from Dear Esther so much. I know people also have a problem with the game's writing, because it's so flowery, but I also like it a lot. It's very Burroughs; poetic with the meaning hidden in the subtext.
Anyway, I wanted to listen to the Narrator's voice clips on their own so I can fall asleep to it in bed. However, the voice clips available on YouTube were ripped from the game itself, so it had the background noises and music in it. I wanted to isolate the voice clips alone, so I just did it myself. Now you can enjoy the narration alone! Who knows, maybe you can use it for relaxation too!
The order of the clips were based of the listing on Fandom.com ([ Ссылка ]) which you can use to read along if you like. I do not know how to do the subtitle stuff. If anyone wants to try and insert them, be my guest (especially in other languages too!)
One note about the clips: at the end of the Buoy section, there are two clips that I could not find for that section. The files had one clip called "ThirdBeachC", but I could not, for the life of me, find Third Beach A or B. If anyone can find those clips, let me know. I can either rue-load the video with those clips in, or I can put them on a Google Drive and link to the drive here. If I somehow missed any other clips, let me know what ones and what they're called.
Also: the files are from the 2012 edition from Steam. I tried to find the local files for the Remastered Edition, but it wouldn't let me access them. Shucks.
However, the photos you see in the video are from the Remastered Edition, screen capped by me in-game. Lots of fun photographing in Dear Esther, every photo I took was a wallpaper to itself.
-Ending theme is "Bless" by Yoko Kanno featuring Arnor Dan. Got that song stuck in my head while working on this video. Fits a bit, right?-
EDIT: So Aniplex decided that no, you shouldn't feature music from a soundtrack that is not legally available anywhere except its home country. So the ending song is muted. Sorry about that. This video isn't monetized or anything so it doesn't matter, but still. Way to get me two years after this video's release, Aniplex.
Anyway, thanks for reading through the long description, and thanks for listening!
