Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture was released in August 11, 2015 on PS4, and now it has finally released on Steam for PC players. The game is about people who keep disappearing in a village around the same time that an observatory starts receiving mysterious signals. You can watch the trailer for the game in the header video above.
According to The Chinese Room, developer of Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, this is how the story opens:
The world ended 37 minutes ago
It is time to beginYaughton, Shropshire. 06:37am 6th June 1984.
Deep within the Shropshire countryside, the village of Yaughton stands empty. Toys lie forgotten in the playground, the wind blows quarantine leaflets around the silent churchyard. Down on Appleton’s farm, crops rustle untended. The birds lie where they have fallen.
The main character is the only one left in the village and being neglected by the Rapture. They can use radio signals to uncover the mystery of what happened in this “rapture”. It is up to the player to figure out exactly what went down on this village’s last day.
Besides the mysterious storyline, the beautiful environment and audio design are another selling point for the game.
Abandoned observatory at night
The abandoned farmland
Empty street in front of village houses
Clean and emptied road
A messy abandoned room
Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture has multiple storylines, which will allow the player to replay and explore other possibilities that lead to different outcomes.
You can pick it up now on Steam.
