About The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a first-person puzzle adventure from indie developer The Astronauts, published alongside Nordic Games Publishing. It was released on September 25, 2014, and is available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch. The game is designed for single player and carries mature ratings from both the ESRB and PEGI.
The game places you in the role of an investigator who arrives in a remote valley after a young boy goes missing. Its themes lean toward horror, mystery, and thriller, and the story centers on a series of unexplained events and a recent violent crime in the surrounding area. Exploration and piecing together clues drive the experience, with puzzles woven into the search for answers.
Because the game is played from a first-person view, you move through its environments directly and examine the scenes closely. It is a self-contained title rather than part of a larger series or franchise, so it stands on its own as a single investigation set in a quiet, unsettling landscape.
