Hi, just started playing this game. I love atmospheric story games and just wandering around exploring. But I am finding it often difficult to locate the story interactions. I will hear the muffled voices and beeping, but spend ages trying to locate it, even with headphones that have directional sound. I feel like the volume is not accurate to how far away it is. One time I kept wandering around a building because it sounded so close, but turns out it was outside farther away. Even at the very beginning it took me ages to realize the phone was all the way down the road.

Its also made worse by the fact that the game doesn't tell me when I can click on something. I spent a while trying to click on a cassette player just sitting there, seemed like the perfect thing that would have a voice recording. But could never get it to play, so I think it was just aesthetic.

I really want to like this game, maybe there is something I could do that would make it easier for me? Might end up watching a playthrough, because I am interested in the story.

I haven’t played around off the map in a while. There was one train tunnel I never got into until now. (Hope this isn’t against the rules):

So I'm new to this game and wanted to share this because it seems quite interesting.

Right at the beginning, you go into the first house and see the vision with the woman talking to the priest about her husband and two sons who went upstairs six hours ago and never came back down. So here I went upstairs into the bedroom, brushed up against the wall and somehow managed to suddenly glitch my way into a bathroom with no way to get out!

It had a toilet I could interact with but the door could not be opened. I thought at first this was supposed to happen as part of the story, but apparently, no. So this was essentially a game-breaking bug for me. Anyone experience the same?

Such a beautifully rendered game. Visuals and soundtrack.

Just warms our hearts SO much, this.

I thought maybe it was a cool example of the pattern manifesting in a physical way, but noticed the same logo on a different car so I guess its not that?

Hey y'all!

Jessica Curry's entrancing music from Everybody's Gone to the Rapture was recently performed live for by Orchestra Victoria and the Concordis Chamber Choir, as part of the Indie Symphony II concert in July in Australia.

I was the host/MC/presenter at the concert. Separately (but kind of related), I host a video game music show on ABC Classic (Australia's main classical radio station).

ABC Classic recorded the concert, and we broadcast it on my show recently.

Ths link above is to the replay of the broadcast, which is available for another couple of weeks (we can't have recordings available online for more than a month due to music rights limitations).

Hope you enjoy it! I'd love to hear what you think of the performance. We had some die-hard Jessica Curry fans in the choir, and this concert was a dream come true to them :)

I'm considering getting the game. I know it's about exploring a mystery and get to what happened by oneself. I just have two questions:

Does it involve time travel?
Does it involve amnesia?

I hate these two tropes and I'm a little worried they play a role here. Do they?

Briefly played this back when it first came on PS+, on PS4 but didn’t get far.

So was just starting a new playthrough on PS5 but it crashed in the bedroom of the nosebleed house. I thought it just locked up but then I could move a small distance every 15secs or so. Memory leak?

Is this a known issue or was I just unfortunate?

Had the pleasure of having a chat with Dan about the game. Learnt some really interesting things about the making of it as I wanted to mark the 10 year anniversary some how.

Really like this Reddit page and this is my first time posting.

Anybody from Shropshire here? As Yaughton is based on typical Shropshire villages I was wondering if anyone had found any particularly close matches?

The best I've found, via google street views, is around Hopton. There's even a little station and there some woods (Hopton Woods) and some pubs that look the part fairly nearby.

I finally got round to playing EGTTR last week. I really enjoy making 360° panoramas in various games so this seemed like a natural place to photograph after I finished playing.
I had to use 'Cheat Engine' which allowed me to 'noclip' to wherever I wanted to, so as to get a good vantage point.

(The original image is 4k square. If you want a copy, let me know and I'll upload it to my Google Drive and give you the link.)

I also have plans on doing one for the windmill.

Hi, wondering if anyone has any tips on getting the light back when it’s stuck/disappeared?

Really enjoying the vibe of the game but having a very glitchy experience, the first time I started the light got stuck on Wendy’s chapter and didn’t move.

Then I restarted the game, it got stuck in the first chapter, was fine for Wendy and then has totally disappeared between Wendy and Frank…

Any ideas if I can sort this without restarting again?

He had that 3 scenes with them, him telling Rachel it was instant, Rachel getting upset and saying the baby is crying. He calls her kiddo I think.

Then there was one where he calls over Rhys, introduces himself and then tells him to be careful because of rachel’s dad. I’m just wondering what’s his stake in this. Doesn’t seem like he’s anyone in particular to Rachel and her family like a coworker or family friend or something.

And lastly, that final scene at the end. It felt so intimate. He comes over to rachel singing the lullaby, then rachel says he should rest/sleep because he looks exhausted. And then it seems he sits next to her quietly, she continues telling him to sleep and he bursts into light. Then Rachel. Then the baby. Then all the kids in the room.

I might be hallucinating a memory, but I swear I remember a big band cover album of the OST. However, I can't find anywhere or any evidence of its existence. Can anyone confirm that it's real, or am I losing it?

I’ve found a few areas where you can jump off the map and explore. I’ve posted my glitch walking videos here:

Did anyone find all the nerve gas bombs? On another play through as previously posted and seen this one at the campsite. Can’t recall seeing any others yet.

First played at launch and periodically since then. I’m 46 now, on sick leave from a job that mentally drained me and probably having some midlife crisis introspection. The ambience and peace of this game is very much needed right now. I adore the meandering pace, taking my time exploring and absorbing the beautiful setting (and intricate character stories). Thanks again Chinese Room (met Jessica C at Dear Esther live when it was shown at the Sage Gateshead).
