The whole island is a tombstone, a testament, and a signal. It's a story of hope, with themes of rebirth and healing. It seems that the "road to damascus" moment for the main character is a sudden realization that life is far more than the physical. Esther is killed in a car accident, her lover travels to the island where they both have history, and carves into it a message of hope and salvation, and remembrance. Both the narrator and Esther are, well, ghosts, who are enshrined in the island itself, where they await a witness, namely, the player

I really enjoyed this mod, however I haven't played it for a while and can't remember much about it. They're remaking it too, in case anyone didn't know/cares.

A remake...but what's the point of remaking it. Are they going to use another engine? Regardless I'm still intrigued. I really enjoyed it for what it was.

Head over to the Moddb page and you'll see what the point of it is. Beyond visuals I'm not sure what else they're remaking, but I think the mod's weakest point were that the maps were so bland in contrast to the narrator and story, so I can't help but think a visual upgrade would make it something else. :)
