Dear Esther vs Eldarya
Dear Esther
Dear Esther is one of the few rare games that managed to evoke strong powerful emotions simply with beautiful visuals, euphonious instrumentals, and an immersive and narrated story filled with love, loss, guilt and redemption. Previously a cult mod, the game sends you on a journey of exploration and self-reflection as you explore a remote and uninhabited island in the outskirts of Hebrides where apparently a mysterious Esther has summoned you here.The best part about all of this though is that the game is, unlike most heavily story-driven games, very replayable. Every play-through will give you a new experience as the audio, visuals and even the events that happen are all randomly generated. So, if you enjoy story rich games, Dear Esther is a game that will unequivocally captivate you.
Eldarya
Eldarya is a free-to-play fantasy romance and adventure game where you'll get to play as a heroine in your own anime-themed story. By happenstance, you found yourself trapped in the magical and gorgeous world of Eldarya, and by being the newest addition to the world, it's up to you to explore the world, make new friends (or enemies), and maybe find a way back to your homeworld. Being a story-driven game, Eldarya features dialogue-based choices that you can select from, but every choice you make will come with consequences - they can be either good (helps you gain favor with a certain individual which may eventually lead to a date) or bad (offends the person instead).Eldarya may not look like much, though its anime graphics are simply superb, but it has tons of plotlines for you to discover, characters to meet, and a fun community to play the game with. So, if you're up for a romantic adventure through a magical world, Eldarya should definitely on your list of games to pick!
