About
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE: By purchasing the game, you actually get two games now: 1) The original The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, 2) The Unreal Engine 4 remaster called The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux. Please see The Astronauts website for details.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a first-person story-driven mystery game that focuses entirely on exploration and discovery. It contains no combat or explosions of any kind. If our game leaves any scars, we hope you won’t be able to see them.
You play the game as Paul Prospero, an occult-minded detective who receives a disturbing letter from Ethan Carter. Realizing the boy is in grave danger, Paul arrives at Ethan’s home of Red Creek Valley, where things turn out to be even worse than he imagined. Ethan has vanished in the wake of a brutal murder, which Paul quickly discerns might not be the only local murder worth looking into.
Inspired by the weird fiction (and other tales of the macabre) from the early twentieth century, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter aims to significantly evolve immersive storytelling in games. While it features a private detective and quite a few mental challenges, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is not an especially puzzle-ridden game. Our focus is on atmosphere, mood, and the essential humanity of our characters.
Still, the discoveries won’t happen on their own, or without your help. Using both Paul’s supernatural skill of being able to communicate with the dead, and your own powers of observation, you will discover the mystery behind a trail of corpses, the roots of a dark ancient force lurking in Red Creek Valley, and the fate of a missing boy.
Explore and interact with the beautiful yet ominous world of Red Creek Valley, which was created with the use of revolutionary photogrammetry technology that allows for nearly photorealistic environments.
Communicate with the dead and see how they died in order to gather clues that help you piece together the truth behind Ethan’s disappearance -- and the fate of his family.
Experience, in non-linear fashion, a story that combines the pleasures of pulp, private eye, and horror fiction, all of it inspired by writers such as Raymond Chandler, Algernon Blackwood, Stefan Grabinski, and H. P. Lovecraft.
Conduct the investigation on your own terms and at your own pace. Although there are a few scary bits in the game, players will have no need for sedatives. Our game is less about terror and more about clammy unease.

Piccolo capolavoro scoperto tardi ma ne è valsa la pena.
Увидела ее давно,но наконец то поиграла.Графика на высоте,сюжет тоже интересный ,головоломки не сложные но увлекательные.Игра не длинная.Стоит того времени.
The story was actually really well done and extremely relatable. The graphics are ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. The puzzles are nice but I only enjoyed like maybe 2 of them. The only way to progress the game really is to look everywhere which is kind of the main way you solve puzzles and move forward. However, while the visuals were amazing and the story was excellent, I beat the game in just 3 hours, like I was like "oh wait that was it?" but I didn't really want more, like the story felt complete, my only problem was that except 1 puzzle, the rest weren't fun really. Yeah it's mostly a walking sim which is fine, Idm walking sims if there are a lot of things to explore. At first, the world feels really big but once you see that there's only like 2 houses, 1 church and just a path to follow, it really starts to feel like there ain't much to explore after all. Idk I'm conflicted with this one. 10/10 on Story and Graphics but gameplay, I give it a 6/10 at best although, I do still recommend it, cause the game has a lot to love.

God graphic but so boring and hard
Azon kívül, hogy szép a grafikája, baromi unalmas.
