Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is a wordy title, but an apt one. Like The Chinese Room's earlier effort on , at least in the sense that you're exploring this lived-in world reading into the details of people who once occupied a particular space. But whereas Gone Home told its story within a single home densely packed with little details, Rapture is broader in scope: it's about walking through fields and forests, passing through buildings on occasion but generally soaking up the natural splendor of this setting as you travel from one large area to the next.

With the support of Sony Santa Monica behind The Chinese Room's relatively small team of 13 people, Rapture looks poised to deliver on its intriguing premise. Stay tuned for more on this gorgeous PlayStation 4 exclusive.

But how will Sony Santa Monica approach it this time? With the same ole formula?

A few months ago Sony Santa Monica canceled the production of an unannounced PS4 IP under the leadership of God of War III Game Director Stig Asmussen. Unfortunately that also caused a round of layoff that left quite a few talented developers looking for a job. Luckily we can report today that two of those developers have now found a new place to express their talent quite close to home.
