One of the most significant 'optional activities' in Dear Esther is replaying the game. The game features a randomized narrative system, meaning that while the core story beats remain, the specific lines of dialogue the narrator delivers, and their order, can change with each playthrough. This encourages multiple completions to hear all possible fragments and piece together a more complete (or more complex) understanding of the story. Different playthroughs might emphasize different characters or theories, making each journey a unique interpretive experience. Pay attention to new lines you haven't heard before.
