Ho-ho-ho! Is there anyone there? Is there anyone listening? Am I talking into a void? Has everyone vanished? How appropriate, if so! Because today's game is: The Vanishing of Ethan Carter ------------------------------------ "Vanishing" is one of these new-fangled "narrative" games, a.k.a. "walking sims" which sprung into newfound prominence a few years ago. While I am a fan of the concept, too often the actual results were lacking in both compelling narrative and gameplay, with a scant few exceptions. "Vanishing" is, alas, not one of these exceptions. Its gameplay is dreary and its story is sophomoric. But god, the environments and setting are STUNNING. It is probably one of the most gorgeous games available and it is worth experiencing just for the graphics alone (it does a pretty good job on mood too). Platform: Windows PC Distributor: Steam Key: H6IM6-ZENDG-CTI8Z (Of course, if you've all vanished, who's gonna use this key? Oh, who am I kidding, it's gonna be Mike S again ;-) Ho-ho-ho!
