Every interview, trailer and news story that followed drew me closer into its mystique, and when I finally got to play the game, it moved me in a way that no game that came before ever had. I knew nothing of its story or setting, and I had yet to be introduced to its powerful music, but I knew there was something strong in what I saw that instantly made me feel connected to it. When I first saw the trailer for Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, I was instantly blown away. Stephen’s Church, Ron’s Hairdressers or the park at the bottom of Dean’s Drive, but it is one of my games of the year that I want to talk to you about, and why Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture feels like home: familiar, safe and remarkably beautiful. There are so many other places in Borrowash that hold so much meaning to me and I could go on about all the memories that come to mind when I think of St. There was a beautiful country park called Elvaston Castle about a ten minute walk away from my house, with a majestic stately home at its heart, and trees that stood tall along its borders when the sun shone through their leaves, there was no greater sight to behold and I will never forget the beauty of that place – or the place I grew up. I loved growing up there because it felt safe – it was where I played football with my best friends, it was where I went to school, where I learned to ride a bike and it was where I met my childhood sweetheart. When I was a kid, I lived in a quaint little village in Derbyshire called Borrowash it was no different to any other village really, but it was a place where everybody knew each other and everyone got along.
