This was a beautiful game. I also highly recommend it. It really touched me. I can't wait to see how good it looks in UE4. I will definitely play it again on PC.
First person walking simulator with light puzzles. And I don't mean that negatively. I enjoyed it a lot on PC and consider it worth a play but don't go in thinking you're going to get an action game with combat.
It draws on a mix of atmospheres from Lovecraft to Poe to Golden Age SF (I kid you not) and mixes fantasy moments with a very realistic setting in a valley.
There is gameplay but it's of the mild puzzle interaction variety.

Reviews were not favourable. Here in the UK it has been ~£4 a number of times but I've never bought it as it looks repetitive, the scares look very trite and it's got randomly-generated level design, which I rarely enjoy. Also, despite boasting being the first commercial UE4 game it's really not a looker.

This is a phenomenally beautiful game. Among the best I've ever seen.

Ether One is a shocking mess on PS4. Really enjoying it but damn it runs terribly. Hope this runs better.
downloading the game again based on dark10x 60 fps comment. 7 fucking gb...
i hope there was an improvement, i usually trust dark with framerates.
edit: nope, still a stuttering mess
drops to sub 30 when you enter the first world.

I really want to play this because it seems like something I'm into, but I really don't want to do anything to support the jerkface head of the studio.
I still might though.

Eventually we'll get those UE4 tools optimized for the PS4 to the point where things aren't so clunky or buggy at launch. Not holding my breath that Ethan Carter will be the one to break the mold but it'd be nice not to have multiple performance patches post-launch. This game is gorgeous and I'll definitely be picking it up for my PS4 though.

Awesome, been looking forward to the PS4 since it was announced.

If I'm not mistaken, a large part of The Astronauts is made up of former People Can Fly folks who worked with Epic on games for 10+ years before they were bought by Epic. They have plenty of experience with the Unreal Engine so if any studio not named Epic can do it right, it's probably going to be these guys.

From what I understand, it's a murder mystery "walking simulator ".
And I don't mean walking simulator in the negative sense, I actually enjoy those types of games.
I could be wrong though, ain't played it, just my perception from what Ihave seen so far.
Edit: beaten over an over again.
This.
Have a GTX 970 and a 3570k, game was a stuttering mess on all settings. Tried for a couple hours to get it to work properly, including a reinstall of the game, never could get it to play a smooth 60fps. Hoping UE4 is the answer.
