I highly recommend this for fans of the walking sim genre. The visual sceneries are utterly breath-taking, and the music is rapturing. What-what? This game is so incredibly powerful, haunting, moving, emotional, thought-provoking and just plain all around beautiful. The most ironic thing about this game is the huge amount of character development.in a game with no living, visible characters, what-so-ever. As an art form- it's artistically mind blowing, kept me intrigued until the end, yet the pacing is very slow, relaxing even. The stories were so meaningful and moving. It was a very unique game, one that will linger on in my mind for a some while. The player can also interact with objects scattered throughout the world which help unravel the story, bit by bit. But honestly, I wouldnt call it such a derogatory term, since you do a lot more than just walking in that game. Edith Finch, on the other hand, is about as good as said genre gets. The player can interact with floating lights throughout the world, most of which can reveal parts of the story. I would even go as far as to say that Rapture is a perfect example of everything thats wrong with the 'walking sim' genre. In Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, the player explores a small English town whose inhabitants have all mysteriously disappeared by some devastating post-apocalyptic cause.
This game, by the same brilliant makers of Dear Esther (another one of my favorite games in the peculiar exploding genre of walking simulators) left its mark, moved me like crazy. As a serious lifelong gamer, I love them. While many people debate about these sims being "real games" I could hardly care less. Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is another one of those weirdly memorable walking simulators that I absolutely adore.
