The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
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.

"What happens then?"
"Another story, kid. What else?"
Man, this game destroyed me. I haven't been this sad completing a game since The Suicide of Rachel Foster. I cannot stress just how remarkable this game was. From beautiful storytelling, stunning environments, and an enjoyable, yet simple game play - this game is just. So. Good. Definitely a new favorite. 10/10.

One of the most beautiful games out there, Story is pretty good and tragic. If you liked what remains of Edith finch then you'll probably like this too.

A nice walking sim with some detective work done in a creative yet simple way so that it isn't too difficult but interesting. The game is short and the story is well written. The ending had a nice twist.

It's a good walking simulator, with visual spectacles and light puzzle solving. Give it a play.

Beautifully written story with beautiful environments ranging from natural to fantastical! It's a walking simulator, but one that does award you for looking behind every tree. The story is also mysterious all the way to the every end, and the pay-off was well done.
For a short game of 2-3 hours, this kept me invested and the little details in the environments that I kept spotting throughout were a welcome experience that even triple-A games do not always bring. If you want a good mystery story and/or a gorgeous walking-simulator, this is for you.

This game is perfect for somebody who likes horror, but wants more of a story format!
