Title: The Light We Cast
Game: Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture
Composer: Jessica Curry
Arranger: Francesco Berrett
Featuring: Emily Hossom (Alto), Neel Sanghvi (Tenor), Aidan Wilbur (Bass), Audrey Wiswakarma (Soprano)

“The Light We Cast” is a suite of pieces from the game Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture. The music takes heavy inspiration from traditional British hymnals and the lyrics reference a variety of classical sources including the Bible and other religious works. In-game, the player takes the role of the only survivor in a rural village whose inhabitants have mysteriously disappeared in a Biblical rapture-like event. The game examines the roles of religion and intimacy in our day-to-day lives, the separation between physical and spiritual existence, and what it means to truly be together, unafraid.
