The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a beautiful game in which you play a detective with supernatural abilities that allow him to speak with the dead and see events of the past in order to solve the mystery of Ethan Carter’s disappearance and the murders that surround it. The team behind The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, The Astronauts, sought to take the adventure genre and push it in a different direction. With a focus on atmosphere, mood, and the humanity of characters, The Astronauts have provided an experience that isn’t so much as laid out in front of you, but instead left for you to discover.
