While this is a video game, I would classify it more as an interactive story. There are 2 buttons, the stick to move, and the X button to interact with the world, and that is it. The game starts with a woman saying she is the last one.  Last of what, and am I playing as this woman?  I never find out.

There is no tutorial, no prompt telling you how to play. I just start walking down a road eventually finding a vibrant and beautiful English town, realizing there are no people filling it. There are radios scattered throughout the area that offer small snippets of dialogue, explaining something has happened. Everyone has vanished. After finding a few more radios, listening in to the story unfold, a strange light appears. What is this light? Did it cause everyone in the town to vanish? Is it trying to help me? Hurt me?  Is it some sort of higher power, some sort of virus, some life form from another planet? Questions that are unveiled to me, only up until the last few minutes of the game. 

The light begins to move, making motions like it wants me to follow it. With not knowing what else to do in this game, I oblige. It then takes me across the village, showing me glimpses of 6 people and their lives up to the event of whatever happened.

Like in life right now, they are stories of sadness, stories of anger and confusion, but also that of hope and love. A mother wants to find her son. A woman trying to keep it together and not allowing her fear to show for the children she is watching over in camp. A man, like in the video below, getting into a situation he didn't want, letting his emotions take over and dealing with the fallout.

Lastly, and by far my favorite, is a story of a priest named Jeremy. Scared himself as to what is happening all around, yells in a mix of frustration and sadness, asking God why he had to take away his flock. In the end, ultimately accepting his own fate as he prays at his chapel for what is to come

Without spoiling the games ending, I will say that it offers up a beautiful message, in the end. It's okay to be scared, but never forget you will always have the love and support of friends and family, and everything will end up being okay, so long as you are together. A message that seems very fitting right now. Video games can tell wonderful stories. It's a medium not all people will  experience, due to not being a "gamer", but it's games like this that are the reason I continue to play them. Telling a tale that made me reflect on my own life and, for 5 hours, made me forget about everything else.
