Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
Deep in the Shropshire countryside, the village of Yaughton stands empty. Toys lie forgotten in the playground, the wind blows quarantine notices across the quiet churchyard. Down on Appleton Farm, the grain rustles unkempt. The birds lie where they fell. Strange voices haunt the radio waves while the uncollected laundry hangs listlessly on the line. The televisions are tuned to empty channels. Above it all, the observatory's telescopes point to dead stars and endless darkness. And someone stays behind to try to unravel the mystery. Immerse yourself in an in-depth adventure from award-winning developer The Chinese Room and explore the last days of Yaughton Valley. Uncover the traces of the vanished community, discover fragments of events and memories to unravel the mystery of the apocalypse.
