Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture

While Everybody's Gone to the Rapture focuses on storytelling over gameplay, the game's narrative is only uncovered piece by piece through exploration. The bulk of the story is revealed through beings of light (similar to ghosts) that appear sporadically and reenact past conversations between people. By observing the interactions between these beings and uncovering other clues scattered throughout the game, players will gradually come to a better understanding about why everyone in the small, Shropshire village suddenly disappeared.

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture's controls are about as simple as it gets (remember: hold down the R2 trigger to sprint!). The game isn't mentally taxing either as it doesn't feature any puzzles, so players in search of a challenge akin to what Myst offers should look elsewhere.

• How do you feel about the gameplay? Is it relaxing? Engaging?
• What do you think of the ending? Are you satisfied with the answers you received or were you left underwhelmed?
• How does the game compare to other "walking simulators" you've played? Or, if you hadn't played any until Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, would you now?
