The game takes place sometime in the late 1980's, this is something extremely key to understanding the character's opinions towards each other, what's happening to them, and to their town. We know that Everybody's Gone To The Rapture is very pretty and it's very well designed, both in terms of video game level structuring and in terms of accuracy to villages in the British countryside (trust me, I live in one).

Its story is very open ended due to the lack of explanation as to what is going on, only giving you vague clues and possibilities rather than actually ever telling you what has happened to the quiet villages of Haverton in Shropshire. Well fear not, after hours of digging around both online, six completions of the game, and a platinum trophy later I aim to clear all questions that seem to be left unanswered including what 'the event' actually was and why some parts of the game you may not have necessarily taken much notice of beyond face value are actually incredibly important.

The Chinese Room's latest offering of interactive storytelling comes in the form of the quaint, awfully British apocalypse Everybody's Gone To The Rapture.
