In a quaint English country town, the player – left behind alone – chases weird electric memories left in the air to relive the events leading to rapture and experience the harrowing last moments of the townsfolk. Pretty and well realised, the now eerie town feels all-too-recently lived in.

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is out now for PlayStation 4, at an RRP of $29.95.
