The title itself is, of course, a giant spoiler, but what it means, how it happened and what it has to do with the player unfold across town halls, holiday camps and the Great British Countryside™. As they explore, ghostly, illuminated memories of the recent past help to piece together what happened. Where Dear Esther’s canvas was the flinty desolation of the northern Scottish islands, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture begins with the player dropped into the well-kept but inexplicably deserted Shropshire town of Yaughton. Sony's concerted rush at the indie space, Everybody’s Gone to the Raptureis a contemplative walk-em-up from the team who defined the modern genre with Dear Esther. And, as one would expect, it is absolutely beautiful.

Winner: Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture - The Chinese Room (PS4)Ī long time in the making, and originally conceived as a PC game before The Golden Daikatana for Best First Person Unshooter Its arrival, and success, is proof that there is a market for intelligent, emotional adventure stories outside the media tie-ins Telltale has made their own. Or, as Chloe would say, hella mortal peril.ĭespite being published by Square Enix, Life is Strange has a real indie sensibility to it, from the lengthy discussions of photography and teen angst to the Syd Matters soundtrack, and retains some artisanally rough edges. Max is as likely to use her powers to save a classmate from social embarrassment as to rescue Chloe from mortal peril.

This left them free to focus on developing emotionally resonant situations as Max and Chloe rediscover their friendship, search for a missing girl and try to puzzle out the meaning of her apocalyptic dreams.Īrcadia Bay and the Blackwell Academy are crammed with opportunities to learn more about the characters and their world, from emails to matchbooks. However, Dontnod scaled down the peril by explicitly building the power to rewind time and try again into the game world's narrative. And instead of a combat-trained operative, the action centres around Maxine “Max” Caulfield, a student who discovers she has the ability to turn back time when her childhood friend Chloe is shot in front of her.ĭontnod has clearly taken notes from Telltale’s award-winning, big-selling approach to updating the point-and-click adventure to the age of fully explorable 3D environment. Instead of Neo-Paris, the settings is the Pacific Northwestern town of Arcadia Bay. Life Is Strange, their contribution to the burgeoning episodic adventure genre, is a very different beast. Before this year, Dontnod were best known for the action-adventure title Remember Me, which despite a novel setting involving mnemonic burglary in a futuristic Paris offered relatively familiar third-person combat and platforming.
