The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is an exploration/experience game that you should play during the daytime.  Not because of the jump scares, but because otherwise you will fall right asleep.

The gameplay is effectively wandering around until you find hotspots that have no clue in the environment where they are, so you must wander and walk up to everything and check.  This is done to further the story of Ethan and his dysfunctional family.

I was wondering if they were creating that Twilight Zone scenario of "The Boy Who Dreams" -- but I don't believe it was that.  I think his family just sucked and didn't understand the boy and his imagination.  I ended up reading the remaining bits on a Wiki and do enjoy that they allowed the ending up to interpretation, if only it was more stimulating to play...,
