Our take on Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
Its defining structure is a non-linear mystery assembled from scattered traces of events and memories across an abandoned village.
What is Everybody's Gone to the Rapture?
Set in Yaughton, Shropshire, on 6 June 1984, the game follows an investigation into a village left empty after an unexplained catastrophe.
Players explore the countryside, farms, churchyard, playground, and observatory while examining traces of the people who disappeared. Voices on radios, vacant television channels, abandoned belongings, and other remnants reveal pieces of what happened. The story is non-linear, with events and memories discovered as fragments that can be connected into an account of the community’s final days. The open-world setting provides the space for this investigation, while the soundtrack accompanies the journey through the deserted valley. The central activity is exploring Yaughton and reconstructing the mystery from scattered evidence.
