This Thing Between Us Is a Landscape at the End of the World2026

Horror Vault's take

Rendered entirely within the haunting virtual world of the game Dear Esther, this experimental horror film trades conventional scares for something far more unsettling — the quiet terror of an ending that feels almost serene. Bleak coastal landscapes and fractured imagery form the backdrop for a meditation on finality, where the boundary between world and psyche dissolves entirely. It is less a story to be followed than an experience to be survived.
