Head of "Everyone's Gone To The Rapture" Studio Steps Down
Jessica Curry, head of The Chinese Room, who created Everyone’s Gone To the Rapture, is stepping down for health and personal reasons, as she revealed in a blog post: “I have a degenerative disease that simply won’t do what it’s told,” Curry writes. “I pushed myself to the edge of a precipice on Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture – I thought if I kept running then I could always keep the disease just out of reach. I was so wrong.” Curry reveals that, in June, she got so ill that she thought she was going to be “brought home in a coffin.” “It forced me to re-evaluate what the hell I was doing to myself, and more importantly the effect I was having on my husband and son. I can’t keep running and it’s time to admit that to myself and to everyone who loves me.” She also notes that many in the industry didn’t give her the credit she deserved for heading up the game, instead passing credit off
