It has been two years since the end of the second Gemini war, and the situation
in the war-torn system is further from resolution than ever before. The
collection of freedom fighters named Gemini League is now reduced to a small
group, with no power or influence, after losing their leaders. The Empire
meanwhile, has used the re-opened Starpoint to occupy the once renegade Gemini
sector - and beyond.
A multitude of Imperial warship fleets and mammoth mother ships have crushed
every trace of opposition. The situation was looking bleak, when they suddenly
halted their armada and re-shifted their focus on fortifying Starpoint with
staggering numbers. Rumors soon spread that they were afraid of something coming
after them through the T-gate, from what was supposed to be the core of the
Empire. What are they running from that makes even the mighty Empire tremble?

Steam News announces
that The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is now available
on Steam, and
GOG.com
announces they
are now selling
the new thriller from The Astronauts as well. Here's what they have to say about
the game: The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a first-person story-driven
mystery game that focuses entirely on exploration and discovery. It contains no
combat or explosions of any kind. If our game leaves any scars, we hope you
won’t be able to see them.
You play the game as Paul Prospero, an occult-minded detective who receives a
disturbing letter from Ethan Carter. Realizing the boy is in grave danger, Paul
arrives at Ethan’s home of Red Creek Valley, where things turn out to be even
worse than he imagined. Ethan has vanished in the wake of a brutal murder, which
Paul quickly discerns might not be the only local murder worth looking into.

protecting me from your customers.
