Do we even know 100% that its legit? i mean is it possible that it isnt? Is there a post out there from FG that confirms anything?

That's very interesting Crabski! Frictional Games seem to be fans of Dear Esther going by this blog post:

Does this mean there's a clue in or at the end of that Dear Esther game from The Chinese Room?

No, I think it just means that 'gameB' is the working title for this new Amnesia game; and that Frictional are working with The Chinese Room to develop it!

By a coincidence, I've discovered something. I was browsing this thread, seeing stuff about this building in Seattle with 'the Chinese Room', when a friend sent me a link to a game that just came out on steam called Dear Esther http://dear-esther.com/ . I thought it was cool, so I went to read their 'about Dear Esther' section. You can't imagine my surprise when I find a section at the bottom called "The Chinese Room"!!! The Chinese Room is a game development group with a website at http://thechineseroom.co.uk/ . From their front page:

"We currently have three titles in development. Dear Esther, the commercial remake of the award-winning, critically acclaimed mod will be released on PC via Steam in early 2012. Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, an openworld game for PC and possibly PS3 starts development in January 2012, and gameB is a secret project due for development and release sometime in late 2012."

If you go to the page for this 'gameB', you find this page http://thechineseroom.co.uk/?page_id=53 , where it says:

"gameB is the codename for a top secret game we’re working on that will be due out in Q4 2012. All we can tell you is that it’s a survival horror and we have a fantastic development team working hard right now. More information will be released in the new year. The concept art is by Ben Andrews"

I think the evidence is overwhelming that there is a connection here! I am so excited typing this... my hands are shaking... I literally stumbled across all of this completely by accident...

Bravo, now time to ravage dear esther for clues.

I should have thought of Googling 'Chinese Room'. I'm sure something to do with this game or the company or something would have came up.
OK.... So the US clue has been found out--> Means The Chinese Room is working on the next game with Frictional. What about the other two GoogleEarth locations?

Is the name of the island which dear esther take place ever named? Might be a connection between that island and the uk google earth image.
