Drama

Deep within the Shropshire countryside, the village of Yaughton stands empty. Toys lie forgotten in the playground, the wind blows quarantine leaflets around the silent churchyard. Down on Appleton’s farm, crops rustle untended. The birds lie where they have fallen. Strange voices haunt the radio waves as uncollected washing hangs listlessly on the line. The televisions are tuned to vacant channels. Above it all, the telescopes of the Observatory point out at dead stars and endless darkness. And someone remains behind, to try and unravel the mystery. Immerse yourself in a rich, deep adventure from award-winning developer The Chinese Room and investigate the last days of Yaughton Valley. Uncover the traces of the vanished community; discover fragments of events and memories to piece together the mystery of the apocalypse.

Story

Absolutely beautiful soundtrack, interesting story, well written & well voiced characters, realistic lived-in town design, and simple gameplay. The only downside to this game, and it is a big one, is the painfully slow walking speed. In town it isn't too bad as you're surrounded by things to explore, but once you enter the country-side your slow walking speed really becomes apparent. Aside from the movement speed I very much liked everything else. 👍

Story

I won this game through SteamGifts. Everybody's Gone to the Rapture combines elements of a walking simulator to a classic science fiction story with added drama of a small town in an English countryside. You walk through the empty village of Yaughton, learning the story bit by bit through telephones, radios and small specks of light that produce memories of the people that lived there. The game comes from the same developers as Dear Esther, which piqued my interest right away. Dear Esther was a great walking simulator, and I feel like this game didn't disappoint in the slightest. The story is intriguing and the way everything unravels as you move forward is almost always unique to the person playing, as the order you can do things in is entirely up to you. There is different side storylines you can follow that wrap around the main story perfectly and as you go further into the area you learn more and more. I was quite disappointed however, that the walking speed was quite slow, and the "sprint" button, didn't really help. The graphics of the game are absolutely stunning! I just couldn't keep my eyes off of everything, there were so many beautiful little details to look at and all of the scenery was wonderful. Sadly there is some optimization issues which caused a lot of stuttering and dropping of frames, but there were a few fixes in the community guides on steam. The game is definitely a screenshotter's dream and well worth checking out in that regard. The soundtrack was something I absolutely adored and it often moved me to tears for how well they implemented the soundtrack with the story and the memory points you were watching. It's a beautiful combination of sounds, emotions and harmonic music. Now, something that I did not like, was the achievements...many have claimed to have troubles with the achievements popping up, I had no problems in that regard, but the content of the achievements itself were quite annoying. If there were a way to walk faster, then perhaps it would have been more enjoyable, but the slow pace and the fact that you can't complete the game 100% in a single playthrough, made me annoyed. I did it however, and I feel like it was worth it in the end. It's a game that you will enjoy if you are a fan of slow paced walking simulators with beautiful scenery and intriguing story elements. If you are not a fan of that, I don't think this game is for you. For me, it was exactly what I thought it would be, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I 100% recommend this game to anyone who is planning on getting it.

Mi primer Walking simulation que disfruté a lo grande, la verdad parece muy vacío el ambiente pero en realidad los recuerdos hacen que el juego sea disfrutable, aún puedo recordar casi al final en el camino que lleva de la oscuridad a la luz.
