The gorgeous commercial mod remake Dear Esther launched today but only for Windows, much to the chagrin of Mac users who played the original on their white computers. Fear not! A Mac version is indeed in the works.
“We can confirm a Mac port is on the way!” creator Dan Pinchbeck said on Twitter today. What more need he say?
A Mac release had seemed likely, as Dear Esther’s built upon Valve’s cross-platform source engine–the version used for Portal 2, to be specific.

Dear Esther is out now on Steam at $9.99. Initial reviews are looking delightfully positive considering it’s an ghost story where you mostly potter about an abandoned island–hardly mainstream fare.
Look, look at how pretty this game is:
