Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

Summary

Deep in the Shropshire countryside, the village of Yaughton lies abandoned. Forgotten toys litter the playground, and the wind carries quarantine notices through the quiet churchyard. Down at Appleton’s farm, crops sway untended. The fallen birds remain where they landed. Eerie voices whisper through the radio as laundry dangles untouched on the line. Televisions flicker with empty static. Overhead, the Observatory’s telescopes scan the void, gazing at lifeless stars and endless night. And yet, one person remains to uncover the truth. Step into a profound and immersive journey from acclaimed developer The Chinese Room and explore the final days of Yaughton Valley. Uncover the remnants of a vanished community, and piece together scattered memories and events to reveal the story of the apocalypse.

Storyline

Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture follows the residents of a secluded English valley as they are swept into apocalyptic events they cannot comprehend or prevent. Created by The Chinese Room—the team behind the emotionally powerful Dear Esther—this exploration of human resilience in the face of catastrophe is an open-world, non-linear journey that redefines the boundaries of interactive storytelling. The story starts with the end of the world.
