Bonne idée / enjeux pas clairs

J'ai acheté ce jeu en m'étant raisonnablement renseigné dessus : j'ai lu des critiques (bonnes de manière générale), visionné des aperçus de gameplay qui m'avaient mis l'eau à la bouche. Et au final c'est une déception. "The vanishing of Ethan Carter" tente une fusion entre le jeu d'enquête dont les prémices remontent à la préhistoire du jeu vidéo et le concept moderne de monde ouvert. Pourquoi pas. Mais l'impression après avoir fini le jeu est que le travail de l'équipe s'est surtout porté sur les graphismes, l'ambiance sonore (réussis pour un jeu de 2014), pas vraiment sur le gameplay. Soyons clair, j'aime "ne pas être pris pas par la main" comme le promet le prologue du jeu, mais il y a des limites. Malgré les renseignements pris sur le jeu, les objectifs ne paraissent pas clairs du tout : est-ce un jeu d'enquête (et sur qui, sur quoi ?), une simulation de survie, un FPS???? Rien ne nous est dit ce qui amène rapidement à errer sans but et à trouver l'expérience frustrante. Je me suis aidé de la solution et n'ai pas pour autant trouvé l'histoire passionnante (c'est glauque, vaguement lovecraftien). Je mets deux étoiles pour la volonté des développeurs de dépoussiérer le jeu d'enquête mais "Ethan Carter" me laisse un goût de travail bâclé.

Thought-provoking, Lovecraftian story

Super atmospheric, and looks fantastic even for a six-year-old game. The puzzles are interesting, not frustrating, and reward investigation and observation. However, not knowing the main mechanic means that you'll probably miss the first puzzle and get pretty far into the game before you realize you have to backtrack. Somewhat annoying, but if you begin knowing that each area is a discrete puzzle and fully self-contained, you can progress naturally.

Good game

This is a game about a detective coming in an small town looking for a missing kid. The gameplay is simple. You walk and click when there is a point of interest showing. But he doesn't shine by is basic gameplay but by is storytelling. The voice of you detective is really deep, calm, and each time he talk you stop to listen. Same process in the game "What remain of edith finch". You will progress in a beautiful landscape, finding strange puzzle to solve. Doing so, you will understand more what is goint on in this town.I'm not telling more, don't want to spoil you the plot. The music is beautiful, same for the graphics. It's a short game, 3 to 4 hours to complete if you take your time. But i's enough ! Some blackspot : you can't save yourself (only autosave), so it's a bit frustrating to have to quit the game for some reason knowing your progress will not be save. I recommand to do it in one session. Also because there is no indication sometimes you don't know if you're missing a key element. If you liked narrative driven game, with a simple gameplay, a lot of walking and contemplation, go for it.

Most horrible save system ever

It only has autosave. I played for 15 minutes or so and got quite a bit done. Then I had to quit the game. It warned me that progress after the last auto-save would be lost. 'Fine,' I thought, 'I've been playing for a while now, how much progress could I lose?' There was no indication of it, in any case. I made sure to have done something significant before quitting, just in case. That generally triggers an autosave in the games I've played that use them. When I started the game again I was right at the beginning. In Psychonauts 2, which also uses autosave, I hardly ever lost more than seconds and the most I ever lost was 2 minutes of play. It also warned me upon quitting how much playtime I'd be losing if I went through with it.

Beautiful but boring walking sim

It has beautiful graphics but the story is not thought provoking enough for a walking simulator.
