Vanishing of Ethan Carter is very visually appealing and has nice soundtrack, but is very short, rather bland and hardly even a game. Despite game telling you that it's a narrative experience that doesn't hold your hand, you'll stumble on the puzzles just by walking around, and if not there is a handy map near the end. The puzzles are really easy and there is only a few of them - in fact you'll probably spend more time walking around than actually doing anything. It's barely few hours of gameplay. Despite the game being that short, I've hit a few bugs, although nothing game-braking. There is also lack of proper save feature, and the autosave (checkpoints, really) is not particularly good, which is disappointing for a PC game. Story, at least for me was not particularly exciting. It felt nothing more than competent, even bland at times. There was not enough narration to actually care about the characters you saw in the visions. It didn't help that I did see the 'twist' ending coming from miles away (at least from mine gate, at least), and I think it didn't work particularly well. Especially within the context of the story - but let's avoid spoilers. TL,DR: Wouldn't recommend.
