Where is Dear Esther set?
2012 video game
Dear Esther — 1 real place Wikipedia files it under as its setting, in the United Kingdom. Wikidata records no setting for this game at all, so this is a category rather than a statement, and it is labelled that way below. Where the game takes place, not where it was made: a game is filmed nowhere, so this is the only kind of location it has.

Places per Wikipedia — “Works set in the Hebrides” category
Wikipedia’s “Works set in the Hebrides” category lists 1 place. A category is an editor’s judgement rather than a sourced statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.
Places whose own article says it is set there
1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this game, where Wikidata records nothing and this game’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.
