Filled with a huge array of characters - all presented as golden balls of light floating in the air - it paints a picture of a quiet town composed of families, a pastor, gossips, lovers, tourists, and other people whose lives are quickly torn apart when a calamity they can't comprehend befalls them. This open world is surprisingly vast, wonderfully detailed, and brimming with objects and items that help tell an impressive story. The only way you can unravel the secrets of Yaughton Valley is to move, look, listen, and think. You can't interact with these entities or, indeed, much of the world, save to open doors and press certain buttons. Plus, golden auras of light in the shapes of townspeople begin appearing at random, carrying on conversations that provide hints as to what might have happened. Recorded messages from a local scientist suggest that she's found something fascinating but terrifying in her studies. But it soon becomes apparent that the catastrophe was something other than an epidemic. Quarantine notices are everywhere, as are artifacts of the sick and dying, including plenty of bloody tissues. Players simply explore Yaughton Valley, a small bit of English countryside encompassing a tiny village, some farms, a few rural roads, and a campground in a quest for clues as to what might have caused every single human being in the area to disappear. That's the premise of EVERYBODY'S GONE TO THE RAPTURE, a narrative-driven first-person exploration game without any combat, item collection, or traditional video game action to speak of.
The world has come to an end, and players are left to figure out what happened.
