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.

Unplayable!

Have a decent rig setup, but can't play this game because it stutteres and screen gets all blurry. Fix this, because I think I would love the game otherwise.

Is this helpful to you?

Not the way we do things.

I'm glad to see games like Vanishing of Ethan Carter on GOG, but having to pay extra for goodies is not the GOG way; at least not how I came to know it. I'm paying extra here (games are almost always cheaper on Steam, etc.) because I prefer the way things are done around here – that means absolutely no DRM and goodies included. This upgrade leaves a bad taste behind. I hope the publisher will change its mind at some point and merge this "upgrade" into the Ethan Carter base game. Right now, because I don't want to support this practice, I'm not going to buy the base game either, which I feel is a shame.

A step back

The goodies are best if are providen with the game. One of the best things about GOG.COM was that offered more than the other platforms. Unfortunately now charge for a material that formerly were free.
