** Video information **

The first level of Dear Esther, gazing out on the sea with the beacon intensifying its light. The first dialogue that engraves its sound in our memory. There is no such thing as incomplete in Dear Esther, all the little details and sounds is what makes this mod so strong. First encounters should never be spoiled so if you didn't played it first, then I advise against watching this video (may be a little late by now...). Anyway, if there's something you don't understand or if you are somehow stuck, you can always watch this video to see how to find all the items and the 'correct' route. Have fun!

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- The game is competely randomised. The story will differ each time you reload a level. This results in many objects changing or eventualyl dissapearing and replaced by another element of the story. In the end it all refers to the utlimate message the game wants to give to the players. Playing it many times again will give you a better insight of the complete story (It is not necessary though).

DIFFERENCES IN LEVEL 1 (Aside from different monologues and random sounds):

- At the lighttower, when you enter the room with the spiral stairs, there is sometimes dust that crumbles down, but there can also be a strange sound instead.
- There is occasionally a seagull that flies out of the lightthouse when you leave, sometimes it doesn't appear at all.
- At the very first cave, when you reach the end with the sight on another cave, the the left of the entrance, you can see either nothing, a ghost (very dark) or that same ghost and a orange flashing light (which flickers 21 times)
- Below on the beach, at the end of the giant gap, you will always find different remnants of a car. Sometimes there are wheels with 1 door, sometimes 1 wheel with 2 doors, sometimes 2 wheels with the parent of the wheels but no wheels etc...
- At the very end of the map right in the middle of the sticky stones, there can occasionally lie a book, 2 books or no books.

** Video specifications **

- All settings on the highest
- MSAA X8
- Vsync enabled (didn't really needed to but it makes the screen more solid)
- Maximum drawing distance
- Filesize: 3.86GB (This is because I don't want to cut the video in parts in order to maintain the best atmosphere between each level, cutting them would really ruin it if you had to stop in the middle of the story)
