⚠️
Use caution
# Dear Esther - Parent Guide Dear Esther is a calm, story-driven exploration game with mild language and no violence or sexual content. Your child walks through atmospheric environments while listening to narration about a mysterious letter. It's thoughtful and artistic rather than action-packed, though some children may find the melancholic tone unsettling.
