For a game like Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, which features nonlinear storytelling and few traditional mechanics, outside materials like the emergency pamphlets are essential to building hype and flushing out the created world. The emergency pamphlets come from The Chinese Room’s Station 52, which has previously provided fans with an astronomy guide and a radio transcript. These materials have a distinct feel that’s not unlike the popular Welcome to Nightvale podcast.
The emergency pamphlets post is labeled “Part 1,” so we can assume The Chinese Room plans to release more world-building materials as their title’s August 11 release date draws nearer.
