Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture
Recommended Videos
Dear Esther was one of the first games to incorporate the walking-sim gameplay style you saw in Edith Finch, but The Chinese Room’s follow-up, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, was a step forward.
It’s a very slow game, not only in terms of the narrative but also when it come to movement. You wander around a quaint English town, interacting with lights that reveal segments of the story.
Through recreations and radio clips, you learn all about why all the town’s inhabitants have disappeared. As you’d expect from a game with such a title, it has got quite a supernatural story, but it is deeply affecting.
After it released it won a load of narrative and design awards throughout the gaming world and has been made free to PlayStation Plus members.
