Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (PS4 game) - Dear Esther sort of sequel

[Neil]

For any of you who have played Dear Esther and enjoyed it, the spiritual successor is on the way, "Everybody's Gone to the Rapture".

The game will transpire in real-time across a large terrain that should take approximately 20 minutes to traverse diagonally. Whatever you don't accomplish in 60 minutes can be discovered upon subsequent playthroughs.

Unlike in Dear Esther, you'll be able to interact with the world this time around. Your interactions will influence the environment, characters and their actions.

Blocked from the office, will check when I get home. Thanks Neil.

Sounds intriguing. Never would be able to play it on that console, however, which is a minor bummer. Still, sounds like someone else had my dream, and that's cool. Cool like Thorn.

My experience with Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, though brief, kept my brain busy for hours afterward. Following my play time, I couldn't play anything else. I just couldn't process anything new. My mind kept spinning back to patterns of splintered light, motes of glittering gold dust, and endless silent depictions of abandonment and pain. All I did was take a walk in a video game, and it chilled me so deeply it took hours to return to the warmth of reality.

Shame it's an exclusive - I'm getting Night of the Comet vibes from this, would've been nice to potter about in for a while. :|

Hopefully it might come to PC in the future!
