A sleepy English town, mysteriously deserted. You are the player, a nameless explorer, piecing together what’s happened through snippets of dialogue, recordings, long-lost transmissions, the small artifacts of a world that seemed to disappear in an instant. That’s the basic setup to Everybody’s Gone to The Rapture, the new title from the Chinese Room that seems to only be able to be described in short, vague phrases like the ones above, mostly because it is itself only composed of short, vague moments of information. Like many titles before it, there’s no real mechanic or goal besides discovery: the only point of going to this world is to bear witness to it. Some people are getting suspicious, because the reactionary crowd gave this kind of game a name more or less the second it appeared on the scene: “walking simulator.” And that title sure doesn’t sound very complimentary.
