Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture has a heart-wrenching story that’s tough to watch

In the early morning of June 6, 1984, the residents of Shropshire County vanished. They left behind their pristine homes, farms, and cars after a mysterious event. In Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, it’s your job to figure out how they died.

The PlayStation 4 exclusive (out on August 11) presents a postapocalypse you rarely see in video games. It’s not a radioactive wasteland filled with mutated monsters and zombies, nor is it a metropolis overrun with plants and animals. You begin in Yaughton, a small fictional town in the English countryside. The only living creatures to keep you company are insects and glowing yellow orbs.
