The occult mystery game, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter will be making its console debut on PlayStation 4, it was announced today.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a Lovecraft-inspired first-person story-driven mystery game, focusing entirely on exploration and discovery. There is no combat of any kind - as the writers themselves put it, it’s less about pure terror and more about “clammy unease”. Indie developer The Astronauts state that “If our game leaves any scars, you won’t be able to see them.”
Adrian Chmielarz, founder of The Astronauts, explained the decision in a blog post, stating that “Sony has been incredibly supportive and pro-active in making sure that happens… It’s as simple as that, really.” He added that the PC versions remain unaffected, and will still be launching on September 26th, with the PS4 version being released at some point in 2015.
The Astronauts released a new trailer to coincide with this announcement. It focuses on one of the murders that Paul Prospero, the game’s occult-minded detective, solves while investigating Ethan Carter’s disappearance. The new trailer offers a glimpse of the more supernatural elements of the game, which previous trailers never quite touched on.
