There are plenty of horror games for gamers to play this Halloween<\/a>, but there are some who just don’t like the horror genre\u00a0yet still want to celebrate the spooky season. Those gamers may be looking for less-intense games to play on Halloween, and while there aren’t many choices, there are a few games that are definite standouts.<\/p>\n

Here are three non-horror games for fans to play this Halloween.<\/p>\n

Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture<\/em> from The Chinese Room<\/a> is not explicitly a “horror” game. It doesn’t have any of the disturbing imagery or jump scares common for the genre, or the survival mechanics that appear in many horror games. But even though it’s not necessarily trying to scare the player,\u00a0Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture<\/em> is still a game that should appeal to horror fans and non-horror fans alike, with a\u00a0premise that still makes it a fitting game to play this Halloween season.<\/p>\n

The Chinese Room takes what it learned with\u00a0Dear Esther<\/em> and goes a step further with\u00a0Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture<\/em>, which has players exploring the village of Yaughton in England. All of Yaughton’s residents have seemingly disappeared, and players have to make their way through the town, interacting with supernatural orbs of light to piece together exactly what happened in the village. There is certainly a sense of dread hanging over the experience, and it almost feels like playing a\u00a0Twilight Zone<\/em> episode.<\/p>\n

The experience is akin to the game that popularized the “walking simulator” genre,\u00a0Gone Home<\/em>.\u00a0Both are first-person exploration games where players have to unravel a mystery, and both flirt with elements of the horror genre without fully committing to it. Both games manage to craft an engrossing atmosphere that will still leave players feeling a little uneasy while they play through it. It’s the perfect kind of game for someone who wants something somewhat creepy to play on Halloween but can’t handle the more intense scares found in traditional horror games.<\/p>\n

It’s not surprising that elements of the horror genre bleed through in\u00a0Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture<\/em>. Prior to this game, The Chinese Room developed\u00a0Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs<\/em><\/a>, a blood-soaked sequel of sorts to Frictional Games’ landmark game\u00a0Amnesia: The Dark Descent<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture<\/em> is available for PC and PS4.<\/p>\n
