The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a First Person Adventure Game where you play as a detective trying to resolve the case of Ethan Carter. To do so, you end up in a forest, trying to search for clues to retrieve the little boy.

First of all, the first thing that you will see when playing Ethan Carter is that the game is beautiful. A lot of work was done on the vegetation of the forest (as well as the buildings, the water, everything !) just to make it look as realist as possible. And it worked ! I found myself starring at some landscapes for minutes just because it looked so real.

Since you're a detective, you'll have to find clues and interact with some of them to be able to reconstruct the crime scenes. After you found every clue, you now have the ability to revisit the crime. To do that, there are 4 or 5 visuals and you'll have to define the chronology of the events. This aspect of the game is pretty easy and it's well done. The story is really interesting and you'll want to know what happened in this strange forest and why Ethan went missing.

"This game won't take you by the end". In Ethan Carter, you're free to go wherever you go when you want. It's possible to miss some puzzles the first time and you'll have to come back later to do it (not sure if you have to do EVERY puzzle in the game to see the endgame). The puzzles are fairly easy. The only difficult part in my opinion would be finding a specific object when you have no clue about it's location. You know it's near but it could be everywhere on the ground.

I would definitely recommend Ethan Carter to everyone who wants to play a good adventure game which isn't too hard to get into. The game is relatively short (between 3-5 hours) and doesn't have much replayability but these are intense hours that were totally worth it !
