I absolutely love this walkthrough. I don't play games, but I love watching the gameplays on RUclips, for me they're like movies; it's relaxing to watch and I really loved this story! The atmosphere, the scenery, the soundtrack - awesome.
You should watch Dark Picture Anthology games if you like movie games. Games like Man of Medan, Until Dawn, The Quarry, The Devil in Me, Little Hope, and there’s a few others by them. I forgot the names. They’re all movie type games. I absolutely love them
Like the last two comment-ors, I love the fact that there's no annoying commentary in this walkthrough. Nothing puts me off more when seeking a little guidance, when you have to put up with someone constantly babbling throughout gameplay. This game, however, proves that there is no need for guns or fighting to make a game truly awesome! With a story that I've fallen completely in love with, I have no regrets in ever purchasing this in the first place! This has to be top of my list of favourite games recently played!!
I agree with you. There are commentaries that are fun to listen to, while there are those that are annoying. A commentating gamer like the RadBrad is an example of someone whose commentary is so entertaining, and you can’t have a negative opinion about him, even if you generally despise commentary. PewDewPie is the type of commentating gamer who would put you off and make you not want to watch the the video. I agree with you on that.
Completely agreed, unlike most games in the horror genre nowadays, this one proves that a true horror/mystery themed game doesn't exactly need true violence or weaponry to tell its story. Even the unfinished story shows utter symbolism of what truly occurs in a horror game in this day and age where when guns and weaponry are drawn... it truly never is over... even when a battle is won... the internal conflict will always fester within the mind. without violence... a truer story is drawn to the surface... the real story.
===MORALE OF THE STORY!!!=== + ===WARNING SPOILERS BELOW!!!=== Please like this comment so all the confused viewers can see! So, after a few webpages of intense research, I found out what the entire morale of the story is. To be honest, its really interesting, anyway enough rambling! to the morale below! The story of "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter" is based off of a dream as we see in the end.... but for some of us (including me) who didn't fully understand; it wasn't any dream. It was a death dream. At the beginning of the story, your mission is to find Ethan, whilst at the end we see Ethan's big brother come in the room and say "There you are! You missed dinner again and mom and dad are pissed!" This causes the parents and friends to be very pissed off after searching for him all day when really he was in the "Secret Room". When the mother ends up accidentally spilling the oil from the lamp and starting the fire at the end of the game, this is what starts the true story. This is where Ethan's "Death Dream" takes place. When Ethan had opened up the Secret Room the one day he explained, it had a curse inside of it. That curse took place in Ethan's body therefore he had become the sleeper. Thus, he had horrid dreams (this will connect later in my comment) about his family being murdered by this "Sleeper". Whats happening is, Ethan goes to sleep after his mom started the fire because he felt neglected and didn't care if he died. In his Death dream, his parents and friends slowly start to be murdered, and we see that the Sleeper can only be awoken by suffering and death but really it feeds off of it. So, the family starts to sacrifice one/another to try and "wake" the sleeper up. Eventually it comes to the point where everyone is dead and Ethan is then found in the room of the burnt down house although hes actually dead. ==Connection time!== These gruesome details and dreams of Ethan are coming from his very creative imagination, therefore he ends up dreaming of the supernatural detective (that you play as) to save him. The reason why everyone ends up killing each other or themselves in Ethan's dreams is because of his feelings from his family. Ethan feels like a very neglected child and his brother is a bully therefore leading a lot of negative impact on his dreams causing them to be so dark. Some skits we can hear Ethan talking and his dad stating he does not have time to read his stories, or his brother talking shit on them. Therefore this is why Ethan never wakes up after his entire family and friends die in his dream, he wants to feel the suffering and pain and neglection he has felt (Except his grandpa) Every character died in a horrible way but his grandpa. He is the only one who died in peace because he felt the most connected with him and thus leaving the three "..." for when you clicked on his corpse. What Ethan did not see was that his parents and family truly loved and cared for him and that they did not know that they were hurting him. This is shown by the few suicides in the Death Dreams, and then the family trying to save him by putting out the fire in the end. So, im sorry if that was confusing still but here's the final conclusion with less detail of the story. 1 - The sleeper is Ethan, it's him sleeping / dreaming from the toxic smoke from the fire at the end. 2 - Ethan is an introverted child interested in reading and writing fantastical stories. His family don't support his creativity, they sigh when he shows them his stories, and they put them aside and tell him they will read them later. His stories are escapist fantasies. They DON'T murder each other, in reality. The whole game is a toxic fantasy constructed in Ethan's mind and through the stories he wrote. He felt his family hated him, he built up a fantasy whereby his family are acting this way because of an alien, outside force. At the end, his family are alive, trying to help put out the fire to save Ethan. They just were abusive and non-supportive to him, making Ethan seek out his escapist fantasies. 3 - The man was Ethan's father, Dale, he killed himself to be free of 'The Sleeper' (Ethan's dream). He felt that this would stop 'feeding the sleeper', but your character, Paul Prospero, mentioned that it failed, the sleeper still feeds off the anger and agony. Again, the sleeper is Ethan, it's his unconscious self creating a dark world fueled by the abuse / lack of support / passive aggressiveness members of his family direct at him. 4 - The character you play, Paul Prospero, is a fictional creation of Ethan's. The game is Ethan's dreamworld, reflecting the reality he lived in through his science fiction and fantasy writing. You never existed, only in Ethan's mind and stories. Ethan may or may not be alive, he is trapped in the burning building, falling into unconsciousness through the smoke. His family are trying to put out the flames.
Tactical_Bacon24 this is the best one by know. I think this is the truth. Thank you so very much. The first time i watched this game i didnt get it but know i do thanks.
I just played this game, it's first time I wasn't bored by this kind of games! I mostly play shooters and action games, but this time I wanted to try something new, and I really enjoyed playing this game! The atmosphere and the sound were just sooo good that I spent almost 2-3 hours just walking around and listening to music and sounds around me!)
This is the game i never forget. First time i saw it, i was stunned by the graphics and the story... Just the way it is made... The mysterious murders and death scenes.. see them lying there and wondering why no one knew this or why... Impressive.
I played this with a frind of mine.. the story, the gameplay..At the end we both sit there with our mouthes open and were flashed. The nearly best story I ever had, after far cry 3
55:00 I never finished this game, i could deal with the walking man in the mines. As soon as i knew i wasn't alone deep down in the mines i couldn't keep playing. Really scary, i also didn't enter the crypt with the stabbed guy which i also find scary. And in the end you still needed to complete all murders and so for it to finish. Thank god for this play through!
The church at 29:10 that you visit in this game is the Vang stave church in Karpacz, about fifty kilometers from my hometown in Poland. I've been there multiple times so when I played the game for the first time, I had this eerie feeling that I know this place. That's how I discovered the game was made by a Polish developer. Playing this game is truly amazing when you've visited the real life locations of some of these places.
Anybody else try to play the game and realize it's damn impossible without a walkthrough? lol just gonna watch the full video rather than read a walkthrough
The game's opening scene does caption that there are no guides and the player is left to figure things out. The idea is novel, but I equate it to playing chess with a person who has never played chess before and they aren't given any guides or hints. What a nightmare of an experience. I quit this game after 30 minutes because of that and, after watching this video, I'm glad I quit. The story is great, though.
After seeing so many of these scenes as ambient-noise backgrounds (I don't have a gaming console), it's fascinating to see how they were actually used in the game. Very complex, interesting gameplay. I also like seeing the obvious references, espcially to "Dear Esther" in the mine.
First of all, I thank GameSmoother for a great, reasonably short and no-commentary (!!!!) walkthrough. Second, the game definitely jumps to my top-list, along with Dark Fall, The Path, The Cat Lady, Dear Esther, Richard & Alice, The Charnel House Trilogy, Mudlarks, Gone Home, Scratches, - thus making my top ten (horror) adventure games with a twist.
so... all that was really just ethan's imagination? one last dream as he dies; his interpretation of his fucked up family? and paul just kind of puts it all together for him? as his imaginary detective? dang i was really hoping there was some crazy evil sleeper demon boss battle at the end. Guess I play too many shooter games haha
At first it's so confusing and I felt lost what I was suppose to do or there's no hint or instruction at all.. I just keep walking and somehow got all the clues and evident but still.. the scenery so beautiful but kinda creepy. Thanks your video keep me get through all clues and yeay I finished it. Tq u! The plot twist is mind blowing .
Once I saw that you could "focus" the words to get a clue, I got past being stuck. That's one thing I'd have liked for the game to explain, because without seeing it happen in this video I don't think I would have stumbled upon that.
Based on the positive reviews I gave it a try but it was not my cup of tea. Without any clues or direction I already missed half of the traps found here in the introduction of this video. The game didn't tell me either that one has to look for them actively to get a background story. The no hand holding remark at the beginning of the game can be taken quite literally. Let's enjoy the game by watching this video.
Thanks for the vid, it helped me quite a bit. After getting the platinum in Everybody's gone to the rapture, I'm so happy this game has 'real' running ebabled! lol
Only your 'enemy' can REMIND you who or what your true enemy is, too often we can't distinguish our pseudo enemies from the real enemies - evil. Evil is a reflection of yourself down a wrong path that could mean a world of pain to you. It can be triggered easily by your pseudo enemies when you interact with them directly. But essentially it is only a reflection of yourself. It is not something that we can't avoid as earthlings and human beings, it springs out randomly on everyone anytime anywhere. Keep a distance from your pseudo enemies so that your evil reflections do not surface, knock them back when they have crossed the line, vice versa.
thanks for your walkthrough! This game was fantastic. I highly recommend Firewatch if anyone wants to play a similar game around 3 hours. Although the ending is disappointing compared to this.
Big Boss This game was very satisfying for it's 2 hour length. I like firewatch significantly less after playing this. That game had a cartoon/animated graphics. I prefer realistic graphics and the dark atmosphere of Ethan Carter.
I just bought this amazing game last week. Strange was, i was at the puzzle with the symbols with only the ghost that was chasing me in the scene before. Didn't even do the puzzle where the others came from (the one with the crow). I was playing around with the puzzle when all of a sudden i had the right combination and it opened and the wat flood in. How small is that chance when i see now how the puzzle is done right.
What a fantastic game and a gripping story. Cudos to its makers and thanks for the walkthrough! :) (The game itself was too buggy to play on my comp, unfortunately.)
I am gonna thank you big time because the third or fourth parkour wasnt easy at all like damn! At the first the zombie killed in few seconds and the second time he got me almost killed 😖 thank u again for this video!
Wow... Man, this is what the graphics in Elder Scrolls VI should be like when it finally comes out. Environments this photo-realistic are rare even among triple A big budget titles. Imagine exploring High Rock, Morrowind, Elsewhere, or even Aldmeris with this kind of scale and beauty. I do think however, that it's good not to make things too realistic. Otherwise, it would be difficult to process and keep up with everything all at once (I speak from experience). Games with interactivity on the current gen's level can take time to get used to, throwing out too much can prove counterproductive.
+Keith Harris It uses Photogrammetry technology. While this provides very good graphics for one and only one situation, it limits drastically the possible gameplay and physics of the game.
taghazog I see, thanks for the info. Is the technology of next-gen consoles getting close to a point where it can utilize similar graphic display without disrupting gameplay?
+Keith Harris Well, PC will always be the first and maybe for a long time to get more and more photorealistic graphics with good physics and gameplay. Consoles are pretty limited by their hardware and will hardly get to this point one day. By the way, there is a human limit also to the graphics: Even if the technology in graphics become more and more complex, the artists are still human and will never be able to add enough details on the textures and physics of the objects to make a very realistic game. We will have to wait and see if some day, we will be able to mix photogrammetry concept with in-engine graphics.
+taghazog Although you do make some valid points, my opinion is slightly different regarding the human limit. I have been involved with the visual fx industry for a good 4-5 years during a decade ago and I can tell you that given the proper training and tools, talented people can emulate reality flawlessly. The limit is really the available computing power and it always has been. But there is progress. Games these days can produce the same results in realtime with what was only possible to achieve pre-rendered 10 years ago. I have no doubt that moving forward, in 10-15 years time games will be equivalent to present day movie fx. Cloud computing will enable us to render in realtime anything we like to a level that is not currently possible. Imagine character animation where each muscle fiber moves and reacts as in the real world. Particle based textures and particle cloud objects. Chaotic algorithms applied to elements such as water, fire, smoke, wind etc. The list goes on and on.
Well, then the only limit will be, how much effort devs. can put into theyr work ... means resources. One can re-draw the wholoe world but people have to make a living, a day has just 24 hours and some companyes seek just profit ... but im positive.
Wow, this was absolutely stunning. I wouldn't wanna buy it since its just a visual novel with no replayability, but damn what a well-told story. To add a little lighthearted note, the parts with the minecar remind me all so much of the tunnel stage from Pokémon Snap, I'd love to see that place in modern graphics!
What i don't get is what happened to nathan? the last time he is seen in the detectives eyes was at the controls to the dam. then he disappeared from the plot.
Whenever I start watching a playthrough and the guy recording starts to speak and comment I automatically think: "JUST SHUT UP! SHUT UP! WON'T YOU EVER SHUT UP???" PS: Thanks for No Commentary on this.
Game looks great but those hints are really spoiling it for me. Is there an option to turn them off? I mean the ones telling you what's needed or whats not there already
Mush more compelling experience than the actual game. Restarted the game with the walkthrough after noticing that something was wrong - I hadn't seen any of the puzzle so far, but then it's juste about searching and searching and worrying you missed something. After getting stuck in the mine again I just gave up and went to this walkthrough. I don't like games where the gameplay relies on combing areas to search for details, and it's nothing but that :s
So much like Dear Esther...but lenghtier and more mysterious and sinister. ONTO Everybodys Gone to Rapture! BTW many thx for this. I gotta get the soundtrack, it was gorgeous. ^~,;,~^
+Paladi Dani Ai un vot +1 de la mine...super joc, sunt naucit, dar ai inteles sfasitul? Tocmai l-am terminat si sunt putin in ceata...Ethan si-a imaginat totul, poveste dupa poveste si de fapt finalul adevarat e ca el moare sufocat de fum in camera,nu?
3 year old comment but I'll reply in case anybody in the future needs help: You know the combination based on the patterns where the spirits you found in the mine are standing. Then for the last one, you just guess, process of elimination.
Damn, nice ending. What happened to Ethan Carter? He died in a fire. But what if actually it was a secret room that unleashed a cthulhu monster the made his family crazy turn on each other and become murderous in order to feed the monster but ethan and granpa worked together to find the monster's weakness and fight him bravely and then private I. has to come in and find out the truth about the supernatural monster? RIP Ethan
Looks like my game has bugs. It doesnt open the visions. It could' t show me where is the crank and then I didnt have railcar vision or the Stone. Its taken from GOG.
+PopulusPopadopalus had the same issue. then i had to change hdd, reinstalled steam, lost all my gameplay, got mad and watched this to the end. experience is almost as good.
haha, i watched the entire walkthrough about 7 times, then I just waited at the first right turn to the mines, waited 20 seconds, then went as fast as I could, ignoring the walkthrough all together xD

Only your 'enemy' can REMIND you who or what your true enemy is, too often we can't distinguish our pseudo enemies from the real enemies - evil. Evil is a reflection of yourself down a wrong path that could mean a world of pain to you. It can be triggered easily by your pseudo enemies when you interact with them directly. But essentially it is only a reflection of yourself.
It is not something that we can't avoid as earthlings and human beings, it springs out randomly on everyone anytime anywhere. Keep a distance from your pseudo enemies so that your evil reflections do not surface, knock them back when they have crossed the line, vice versa.
yedhcas A better version than the last one at least, as aways, viewer discretion is advised. You know how to control you manner?
thanks for your walkthrough! This game was fantastic. I highly recommend Firewatch if anyone wants to play a similar game around 3 hours. Although the ending is disappointing compared to this.
+Kenshin Himura
I liked both, this is way better though :)
Big Boss This game was very satisfying for it's 2 hour length. I like firewatch significantly less after playing this. That game had a cartoon/animated graphics. I prefer realistic graphics and the dark atmosphere of Ethan Carter.
*****
I agree 100%
I just bought this amazing game last week. Strange was, i was at the puzzle with the symbols with only the ghost that was chasing me in the scene before. Didn't even do the puzzle where the others came from (the one with the crow). I was playing around with the puzzle when all of a sudden i had the right combination and it opened and the wat flood in.
How small is that chance when i see now how the puzzle is done right.
So, in the end, the only one who truly died was Ethan. His mom accidentally set fire to the place, but they survived.
What a fantastic game and a gripping story. Cudos to its makers and thanks for the walkthrough! :)
(The game itself was too buggy to play on my comp, unfortunately.)
I am gonna thank you big time because the third or fourth parkour wasnt easy at all like damn! At the first the zombie killed in few seconds and the second time he got me almost killed 😖 thank u again for this video!
this game is (so far) the most immersive experience I have had on the oculus rift
Wow... Man, this is what the graphics in Elder Scrolls VI should be like when it finally comes out. Environments this photo-realistic are rare even among triple A big budget titles. Imagine exploring High Rock, Morrowind, Elsewhere, or even Aldmeris with this kind of scale and beauty. I do think however, that it's good not to make things too realistic. Otherwise, it would be difficult to process and keep up with everything all at once (I speak from experience). Games with interactivity on the current gen's level can take time to get used to, throwing out too much can prove counterproductive.
+Keith Harris It uses Photogrammetry technology. While this provides very good graphics for one and only one situation, it limits drastically the possible gameplay and physics of the game.
taghazog I see, thanks for the info. Is the technology of next-gen consoles getting close to a point where it can utilize similar graphic display without disrupting gameplay?
+Keith Harris Well, PC will always be the first and maybe for a long time to get more and more photorealistic graphics with good physics and gameplay. Consoles are pretty limited by their hardware and will hardly get to this point one day.
By the way, there is a human limit also to the graphics: Even if the technology in graphics become more and more complex, the artists are still human and will never be able to add enough details on the textures and physics of the objects to make a very realistic game.
We will have to wait and see if some day, we will be able to mix photogrammetry concept with in-engine graphics.
+taghazog Although you do make some valid points, my opinion is slightly different regarding the human limit. I have been involved with the visual fx industry for a good 4-5 years during a decade ago and I can tell you that given the proper training and tools, talented people can emulate reality flawlessly. The limit is really the available computing power and it always has been. But there is progress. Games these days can produce the same results in realtime with what was only possible to achieve pre-rendered 10 years ago. I have no doubt that moving forward, in 10-15 years time games will be equivalent to present day movie fx. Cloud computing will enable us to render in realtime anything we like to a level that is not currently possible. Imagine character animation where each muscle fiber moves and reacts as in the real world. Particle based textures and particle cloud objects. Chaotic algorithms applied to elements such as water, fire, smoke, wind etc. The list goes on and on.
Well, then the only limit will be, how much effort devs. can put into theyr work ... means resources. One can re-draw the wholoe world but people have to make a living, a day has just 24 hours and some companyes seek just profit ... but im positive.
Спасибо за отличное прохождение. Без тупых коментов, одним куском и с правильным геймплеем.
Без мата и наигранных испугов
Great walkthrough! I love games like this, but i hate that i suck at them. I need help with almost every puzzle :(
Wow, this was absolutely stunning. I wouldn't wanna buy it since its just a visual novel with no replayability, but damn what a well-told story.
To add a little lighthearted note, the parts with the minecar remind me all so much of the tunnel stage from Pokémon Snap, I'd love to see that place in modern graphics!
It's not a visual novel at all. There are real puzzles in this game, hidden secrets, and some of it is a little bit challenging.
probably one of the best games ive ever played. too bad i dont have the patience to complete it lol
Thank you so much for sharing 🙏
who is here knowing its free on epic games
who that thought and design that places is a fucking genious :D that houses are awesome the lake EVERYTHING is incredible...i wolud live there :D
Sasà Abate it’s in Poland...2 year reply...damn
Thanks, for watever reason hearing the game just camls me (not just the soundtrack)
Wtf that ending thooooooo likeeee waaaaattttttt plot twist 👀👀👍👍
It reminds me Borges short story, The circular ruins.
What i don't get is what happened to nathan? the last time he is seen in the detectives eyes was at the controls to the dam.
then he disappeared from the plot.
This game got me to make my Oc i still use in my art or stores, and its a wonderful game to
This can be a good movie... Nice gameplay
Damn. That cave bit looked confusing as hell.
Amazing, I loved it. Thank you
its more a movie than a game as long as there no actions but i enjoyed and did well to watch the walkthrough
Some games feels so realistic then real life
Just a relaxing atmosphere, with gruesome details
Whenever I start watching a playthrough and the guy recording starts to speak and comment I automatically think: "JUST SHUT UP! SHUT UP! WON'T YOU EVER SHUT UP???" PS: Thanks for No Commentary on this.
RUclips quality really doesn't give the graphics justice.
great video maybe you could read the letters it would not make this video mutch longer but good job anyway
+Ivan Lasić thx. if I read the letter, I'm afraid you would have annoyed my pronunciation and accent, because I am a real Ivan
Game looks great but those hints are really spoiling it for me. Is there an option to turn them off? I mean the ones telling you what's needed or whats not there already
This saved me money.
Mush more compelling experience than the actual game. Restarted the game with the walkthrough after noticing that something was wrong - I hadn't seen any of the puzzle so far, but then it's juste about searching and searching and worrying you missed something. After getting stuck in the mine again I just gave up and went to this walkthrough. I don't like games where the gameplay relies on combing areas to search for details, and it's nothing but that :s
Epic game, amazing scanned 3d graphics.
Fuck this game, been playing for 2 hours and missed half of it apparently ^^^
So much like Dear Esther...but lenghtier and more mysterious and sinister. ONTO Everybodys Gone to Rapture! BTW many thx for this. I gotta get the soundtrack, it was gorgeous. ^~,;,~^
welp thats the 90 minutes I will never get back
Nice ambiental music !
Seems like more of a dark puzzle game than actual horror, but i'm only 20 minutes in so i guess that could change
Imagine a game like the Witcher 3 with this level of graphical detail.
The ending tho I cried damn that was a good game
jocul asta merita nota 10 pentru poveste pentru grafica pentru tot superb
+Paladi Dani Ai un vot +1 de la mine...super joc, sunt naucit, dar ai inteles sfasitul? Tocmai l-am terminat si sunt putin in ceata...Ethan si-a imaginat totul, poveste dupa poveste si de fapt finalul adevarat e ca el moare sufocat de fum in camera,nu?
this would be perfect in VR
How were you supposed to figure out the gate combination in the mine?
3 year old comment but I'll reply in case anybody in the future needs help: You know the combination based on the patterns where the spirits you found in the mine are standing. Then for the last one, you just guess, process of elimination.
Why am I not getting any of the cutscenes
awesome RUclips gave this walkthough a go but wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be
that train hit that guy while the train was moving. the guy got hit and started rolling down the hill. thats where the blood on the train came from.
Damn, nice ending. What happened to Ethan Carter? He died in a fire. But what if actually it was a secret room that unleashed a cthulhu monster the made his family crazy turn on each other and become murderous in order to feed the monster but ethan and granpa worked together to find the monster's weakness and fight him bravely and then private I. has to come in and find out the truth about the supernatural monster? RIP Ethan
The character runs faster on Xbox than PlayStation for some reason.
Looks like my game has bugs. It doesnt open the visions. It could' t show me where is the crank and then I didnt have railcar vision or the Stone. Its taken from GOG.
This honestly reminds me of, "What Remains off Edith Finch." Okay, just me.
press A to Play Yup. It had a very similar feeling to it.
I love that game what remains of Edith Finch one of my top favorite games
Good job! thx!
Why did you go from X Box to PC?
You are here because you claimed the game free from Epic Games!
How original
so i'm stuck in the mines and i've done exactly whats happening there, and i keep getting eaten by the zombie that is found dead! how do i fix this!?
+PopulusPopadopalus had the same issue. then i had to change hdd, reinstalled steam, lost all my gameplay, got mad and watched this to the end. experience is almost as good.
haha, i watched the entire walkthrough about 7 times, then I just waited at the first right turn to the mines, waited 20 seconds, then went as fast as I could, ignoring the walkthrough all together xD
Thanks dude
we done 😁😁
I think this is kinda either a sequel or a prequel to What Remains Of Edith Finch. And Idk why.
What the fuck.. This game is so fucking mind blown.. So dark.
