It’s encouraging to play games that provide a complete form of entertainment. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter isn’t just a game with astonishing graphics and ambient music that scares you (even though nothing actually scary is taking place…for the most part of it…). It’s mainly a story that brings up to the light a powerful message about emotional violence within the family. Another stepping stone that transforms the old mindset “videogames are a kid’s thing” to a form of art.

What’s your role in the Vanishing of Ethan Carter?

Entering the game, you will discover that you are free to do whatever you want within the boundaries of the world, as a paranormal investigating detective, Paul Prospero. Your main goal is to (guess what) find Ethan by solving cases.
