The Epic Games Store holiday celebration is in full swing and users are once again getting treated to a daily free game, and today's title is The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - one of the best "walking sim" exploration games around, which is also making its debut on Epic's store. Yesterday Epic users were treated to a copy of one of the best Soulslikes of the last few years, Remnant: From The Ashes, so hopefully everyone who wanted that picked that up because the 24 hours are up and a new game is available now - and it's still one of the best detective/exploration games on PC, not to mention a go

Editor's note: Rob's piece here concludes his series of essays for Eurogamer on the seasons in video games. For more, be sure to check out Video games and the life of summer, starring Witcher 3, Firewatch and Dishonored 2, The power of spring in Horizon Zero Dawn, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and The Last of Us, and Video games and the power of winter, which looks at Skyrim. Rain and wind, shorter days, and imminent dormancy; autumn often has a bad reputation. However, there is excitement, intrigue and pleasure to be found in this season of change. Landscapes become sparser with each leaf t

The first-person supernatural mystery The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is good stuff. We called it a "intriguing, mostly satisfying, and most importantly, wonderfully restrained" story in our 82/100 review, and the biggest complaint—lack of a manual save option—was addressed in a "Redux" update that dropped in 2015. And now it looks like another update adding a peaceful, puzzle-free "free roam" mode, could be on the way too.  The mode is on the way, in the Xbox One version of the game that's coming out later this month. "Many people agree

Games confront us with failure all the time. It could be the famous YOU DIED message of Dark Souls, or the unfavourable scorecard at the end of a hard-fought round of Rocket League. In the heat of the moment calm Vulcan exteriors can crack. Curses are uttered. Innocent controllers are thrown out of windows. Things can get intense. Some games induce rage more than others. A long game of Dota 2 squandered by one error will understandably leave some participants furious, but when we started writing about the games that made us quit in anger some surprises turned up. Even a serene adventure l

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter was certainly an adventure, but it didn't have much action. Chris Livingston described it as "a tense and spooky stroll through a gorgeous world", and stroll is the operative word here: it was a slow-paced, investigative experience. The studio responsible for it, Poland-based The Astronauts, looks set to expand its horizons though, according to a job description on its website. The description is in Polish, but a rough Google translate suggests the studio's follow-up will be "an open world action-adventure". The Astronauts is recruiting for an AI and general progr

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux is an Unreal Engine 4 remaster of the original PC game. It is a free game for the current and future owners of the original. You should already have the game in your Library. It's a separate game from the original (i.e. not a patch) because this way you can choose which one takes your HDD space. You can hide the other one by right click, then Set Categories, then Hide This Game From Library. Details here in this blog post. (You might like the part about the secret exe file) Also, Ethan is now 40% off for 24 more hours! Let your friends know!

As a thoughtful supernatural adventure created by the founders of the studio that gave the gaming world "dicktits," The Vanishing of Ethan Carter was something of a surprise. And now, a year after its launch, it's time for another surprise: It's been completely rebuilt in Unreal Engine 4 and re-released as The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux. The updated version came, as far as I can tell, entirely without fanfare. The Ethan Carter Steam page simply notes that anyone who buys the game will get both the original and the Redux versions, and provides a link to The Astronauts blog, which explains

This small update adds the following option to the launcher and the game: Framerate Control. "Unlimited framerate" is the default behavior, "Smoothed 60 fps max" is something that might potentially help in rare cases with micro-stuttering. Note: please check if your graphic options have changed after this update and if so (unlikely, but still), restore them to your favorite set up. We have also removed FXAA as it never worked well with the game (and when it did, it looked ugly with the amount of alpha-intensive vegetation and the postprocess filters we use). We have also removed ambient occlus
