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 Ethan’s 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 won’t 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. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter VR is planned for an early 2016 release hopefully just in time for the Oculus Rift's consumer release.About This Game GOOD NEWS EVERYONE: By purchasing the game, you actually get two games now: 1) The original The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, 2) The Unreal Engine 4 remaster called The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux. The blog post states: "the reason to disable VR now was not because we want you to pay up first." but rather because the company would rather take the time to do it right, but it's bound to annoy some fans who were already enjoying the game in full VR. The Astronauts will likely charge for this VR functionality either as DLC or a seperate game.
"We are indeed working on a proper VR version of the game." We have hired security experts and barricaded ourselves at an undisclosed location." explained Chmielarz regarding the removal of VR support in the games 1.01 patch. "We know very well this decision will anger a few people. Understandably, when the PC version of the redux launched with VR support, many were excited to experience the game up close, Sadly, it appears this was a mistake. "It might mean a partial redesign and remake of the game in order to assure the best possible experience." In a blog post following the PS4 release of the redux in July 2015, creative director Adrian Chmielarz said " Ethan is a perfect game for VR, isn’t it? We are looking into it, and want to do this, and have some ideas on how to do this." It's been one step forwards and two steps back as The Astronauts, developer of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, added VR support to the games Unreal Engine 4 remake, before taking it away again in a patch.
