Everybody's Gone to the Rapture vs Gone Home

Set in the quiet Shropshire village of Yaughton, this first‑person adventure lets you wander empty streets, abandoned farms and a silent observatory while piecing together fragmented memories left behind. Through environmental storytelling and audio recordings, you discover how a sudden, world‑shattering event changed the lives of the valley’s inhabitants.

Gone Home is a first-person interactive exploration simulator developed by The Fullbright Company. Players step into the shoes of Katie, a university student returning from abroad to her family's newly inherited Oregon house in June 1995, only to find it completely deserted. As you navigate the richly detailed environment, you examine everyday objects, unlocked doors, notes, and cassette tapes to piece together the emotional story of your family's lives and discover what happened to your younger sister, Sam.
