* Communicate with the dead and see how they died in order to gather clues that help you piece together the truth behind Ethans disappearance - and the fate of his family.

* 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. Using both Pauls 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. Still, the discoveries wont happen on their own, or without your help. Our focus is on atmosphere, mood, and the essential humanity of our characters. While it features a private detective and quite a few mental challenges, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is not an especially puzzle-ridden game. 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. Ethan has vanished in the wake of a brutal murder, which Paul quickly discerns might not be the only local murder worth looking into. Realizing the boy is in grave danger, Paul arrives at Ethans home of Red Creek Valley, where things turn out to be even worse than he imagined.

You play the game as Paul Prospero, an occult-minded detective who receives a disturbing letter from Ethan Carter. If our game leaves any scars, we hope you wont be able to see them. It contains no combat or explosions of any kind. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a first-person story-driven mystery game that focuses entirely on exploration and discovery.
