About Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
The world ended 37 minutes ago
It is time to begin
Yaughton, Shropshire. 06:37am 6th June 1984.
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.
Featuring a beautiful, detailed open-world and a haunting soundtrack, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is non-linear storytelling at its best.

Game is unplayable! Very unstable fps and looking at the comments it's pretty common.16 found this helpful
Framerate is GARBAGE. I don't want to spend 10 hours fixing frame rate issues before playing a game.2 found this helpful
i had to hold off reviewing this one cause i really wanted to finish it. however the movement is game-breakingly horrible. you are rubber banding and walking at a snails pace the entire time. ♥♥♥♥♥♥1 found this helpful
Definitely recommended for fans of story rich games that leave you thinking long after the credits roll!1 found this helpful
This game feels very poorly optimised for PC. A lot of stuttering when walking and when turning the camera. There was also the occasional screen tearing. I like the premise and the mystery, the environments are beautiful and the OST is lovely, but the game itself is unfun to play. I'm sure other reviewers have mentioned the walking speed, but it is terrible. Considering that there's quite a large area for you to explore, the walking speed is criminal and there's so much hidden lore off the main path, you probably won't want to go searching for it because it takes forever. It's one of those games I wish there was a neutral button for because I recognise why it was so important for the genre and I enjoy the setting, but other games have done what it does better.1 found this helpful
An emotional journey with a sublime soundtrack.
