The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a first-person mystery adventure set in the American midwest. It also happens to be stunningly gorgeous. You probably can't recognize Unreal Engine 3 underneath that exquisite texturework and soft lighting.

To capture screenshots of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter at 8K resolution, I used a SweetFX preset (with a few minor edits) found here.

I then used a Cheat Engine table I created myself in order to fly around (no-clip) for better "camera" angles. All screenshots were captured with MSI Afterburner.
