That doesn’t mean that either is predictable or linear. In any case, we’ll keep things as spoiler-free as humanly possible because, in Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, the game and the narrative are indistinguishable from each other. The smartest thing you could do right now is purchase and download the game, play it, then come back and read the rest. By taking inspiration from a very British vein of sci-fi, and most specifically the fifties novels of John Wyndham, the team at The Chinese Room have created a post-apocalyptic game unlike any other, as locked into a place and era as Kubrick’s 2001, the Quatermass movies or Tarkovsky’s films of Solaris and Stalker.įrankly, the less you know going in, the better. There may be odd signs that not everything is right, but this is an apocalypse where the victims appear to have quietly disappeared, leaving a radio blaring in the garden, doors unlocked, a van left open on the side of the road.
Everybody's Gone To The Rapture is available as a 2LP limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on translucent red colored vinyl and includes a 4-page booklet.It’s a very English kind of apocalypse one that takes place without much fuss or obvious violence or screaming in a quiet Shropshire valley in the mid-1980s. With her compelling soundtrack, Curry took home the BAFTA Games Award for Best Music. The music was recorded at the famed AIR Studios in London and features solo vocal performances by renowned Welsh soprano Elin Manahan Thomas, ethereal choir, and a tragically beautiful orchestral accompaniment. The soundtrack features the music by Jessica Curry, who is also joint Studio Head of the developer The Chinese Room.
The game has already won GameSpot's Best of E3 and was nominated for Best in Show and Best PS4 game by IGN. This story begins with the end of the world. Made by The Chinese Room - the studio responsible for the hauntingly beautiful Dear Esther - this tale of how people respond in the face of grave adversity is a non-linear, open-world experience that pushes innovative interactive storytelling to the next level. The groundbreaking 2015 PlayStation 4 game Everybody's Gone to the Rapture tells the story of the inhabitants of a remote English valley who are caught up in world-shattering events beyond their control or understanding.
