Everybody's Gone to the Rapture follows the events of six remaining survivors after most of humanity is taken away by the Rapture, a biblical event which takes all good souls to Heaven. In the game, the Primary Event takes place June 1, 1984, whereas the Omega Event takes place on June 6, 1984. The majority of the game will take place after these two events, in the town of Shropshire, England. The government seems frightened of this event, as it warns that the outside world is unsafe.
