The result was so sad and disappointing that I had to share my sorrows with the global population of the World Wibe Web. Not knowing much about it, besides being a so-called “walking simulator”, I decided to download it and give it a shot, mainly for pure curiosity. We entered November of 2016 and Sony graced us with its mighty benevolence and gave us Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture for “free”. I cannot recommend this game enough to fans of narrative driven games.Time to revive an older article from the older site! Here’s a Cream of the Crap article, dedicated to those games so bad they deserve an entire post about their achievement Emotionally it was enough to pull at anyone's heart strings, if you are heavily into stories and walking sims. The ending ripped my at my heartstrings, all accumulating to finding out who you are to the world & story. For a game that does not show you what characters look like, only passive information about them, I think was a sublime move, because by the end of the story I had already formed mental images of how each character looked (and behaved via light) it is rare that a walking sim engages me on that level. The characters became more and more cherished to me the further I went on into the game, having formed emotional ties to several of them before I even reached the end of the game. But from the very start it was jarring, and even reminisced, in a odd way times when Covid first hit us. At first it seemed like a bit like every other walking sim, a sad narrative, puzzles and information fed on a slow drip, while walking through a baron world that's exquisite in details.
Without giving away spoilers this game made me cry, angered, shocked and wounded, on so many levels. The soundtrack alone, is so poignant that combined with the characters stories you cannot help but fall heart first into this beautifully 'raptured' world. So I am a big fan of the walking sim genre, and I can honestly say this game was a beautiful masterpiece to come across.
