Even more impressive, you're able to go through nearly the entire town, from forrest to mine and everywhere in between without having to stop at a loading screen. Luckily The Vanishing of Ethan Carter gives you the freedom to explore the town,and the mystery that takes place within it as you wish. Jaw dropping draw distances, pristine lakes and rivers and incredible sound design make for a world that it's easy to lose focus in just because you're too busy looking at the scenery. Of course, the fictional town of Red Creek Valley where the vast majority of the game takes place is more of a caricature of midwestern values than any place I've ever been to in my home state, but it's one created with remarkable beauty. ".just because you're too busy looking at the scenery." It takes a unique approach to gameplay that may not be for everyone but the game takes risks that can't be ignored, and rarely fail to impress. Maybe that's why I found myself so enthralled with the gorgeous world of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, the first game from new studio The Astronauts it takes all of my childhood fears of the area and brings them to life in a remarkably entertaining and well paced mystery adventure. Friends would tell tales of paranormal events there third cousin (It was never a cousin you've ever met of course) experienced in the woods and it always seemed like a place where literally anything could happen. Growing up in the southern part of the state, the more rural Northern half of Wisconsin was always a mysterious and ominous place. The way that the game doesn't hold your hand, the way it trusts you to make decisions more than most adventure games this isn't a game for everyone, but if you like a great mystery and aren't afraid to take chances. In the beginning you're going to stumble into a lot of your leads since the game gives no literally no direction but you'll be making good time once you realize how the game works.
