Evil is dire, yet reality is just it

Schönes atmosphärisches Rätsel Spiel, mir einer netten Story. Wer auf Rätsel und Walking Simulator Games steht, dem kann ich es empfehlen! Vielen Dank

interesting game. And If you have some creativity and plenty of time, it's the game for you

7/10 Gra jest przepiękna. Jak na 2014 rok, robi ogromne wrażenie.

Must play

TLDR: [b]*NOT A GAME ALARM BLARING*[/b] [b][u]General Thoughts/Overview:[/u][/b] Note: I played and completed the Redux version. I'm simply reposting here as it has no individual store page. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (VEC) is a pixel hunting detective walking simulator in which you rely on blind luck to find the vast majority of your clues. We are Paul Prospero, a hard broiled noir detective type with some kind of spiritual superpower. We’ve been brought to the isolated cater family by the son, Ethan, who has also warned us that things in the valley are not what they seem. Sprint around, probably miss things, find short horror stories by Ethan, enjoy the stunning environment, growing discomfort, and creepy dread, and maybe uncover the truth behind Ethan’s vanishing. [b][u]Pros:[/u][/b] [list][*] Stunning environment. It’s just so beautiful and put together so well, it makes all the investigation sites feel unique and interesting. It also really hammers home the feeling of isolation, and a poor kid on his own in the middle of nowhere. [*] A walking simulator that lets you run! I could kiss the developers. No broken leg syndrome. OK, so the map is bigger than Tokyo, but at least you can [i]run[/i]. [*] I enjoyed the over the top voice acting. Everyone seemed to be having fun and embracing their roles and it spills over into the narrative, giving the characters life. [/list] [b][u]Cons:[/u][/b] [list][*] The writing is a bit ‘eh’. I thought the twist was interesting but not inspiring. It felt a wee bit handwavey. [spoiler]Though if we consider most of the writing is meant to be from a preteenish kid, it’s actually pretty good.[/spoiler] [*] SO… MUCH… [b]RUNNING[/b]. Good lord. I’m glad we [i]can[/i] run, and I appreciate the way the dev’s have stuck to an enlarged area to explore and (in my case literally) get lost in, but seriously… could we not have condensed the map a little? [*] I love the stripped back no hand holding approach the game has taken. That said, when the things we need are pixel hunt based and scattered around an area roughly half the size of Jupiter… It’s a frustration generator. Luckily I worked out very quickly that the stuff I needed was always located in the rough vicinity of the investigation. [/list] [b][u]Suggested improvements:[/u][/b] [list][*] Fast travel. I know we get a version at the end, and I like that, I’d have liked a general fast travel system. OR a more condensed map. I don’t want 2/3 of my playtime to be running between puzzles. [*] I’d have loved to see an uninvasive aid. Click a button get a sprite giving you a rough direction, either for your next puzzle or for the droid you’re looking for. [/list] [b][u]Overall Recommendation:[/u][/b] Overall I give this the thumbs up. Yes it has its frustrations and imperfections, but overall it’s a narrative driven experience which lives up to its expectations. That said, this game is not for you if you want something tightly written and fast paced. It isn’t for people who get bored fast and easily, and it isn’t for kids, with the odd jump scare and some pretty grim material. If you like walking sims, or you like detective games, you’ll get on with this. If you like both? Well then here you go, have fun.
