The more places you visit, the more you'll learn, either from audio logs found in the world, or from brief moments of character interaction presented by the ever-present ball of light, or from the environment itself. Wherever you go, you'll pick up some of the game's story. That means you're given an open world (Shropshire) and you can go wherever you want. "Everybody's Gone to the Rapture" bills itself as a "non-linear storytelling" game. First to receive their new bodies are those who have died as Christians, and then "those who are alive and remain." This is the time of the resurrection where the Christian receives his resurrected body. The rapture is an eschatological (end times) event whereupon the return of Christ the true believers who are "alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air." (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
Here's how "The Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Religion: Q-Z" defines "rapture," which I'm including because it's an almost direct parallel to what happens in the game: It was more like the Christian concept of "rapture." Except the apocalypse wasn't a nuclear war or a battle between the forces of good and evil.
