As you explore, you'll come across little balls of light. That last mechanic, the tilt functionality, is the most interesting and offers the earliest hints at what happened here. The game employs a grand total of four inputs: the two analog sticks to move and look around, the ‘x' button to interact with a small handful of things in the environment and the PlayStation 4 controller's tilt functionality. As you might expect from the minds behind Dear Esther, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is mechanically minimal.

The goal of Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is to explore Yaughton and discover what happened to the village. It's an idyllic location, all picturesque farmsteads and homey small-town inns, save for one defining feature: The entire population of Yaughton has disappeared. You soon discover that you're in the area surrounding a rural British village, a locale known as Yaughton Valley. Everybody's Gone to the Rapture begins by dropping the player - as an unnamed first-person-view source - into a pastoral field.
