Emily is Away <3

Really is such heartwarming stories to unfold. Every couple months I come back to this game just to replay through it, plus this game showed me a few songs that I absolutely love now and has been added to my own playlist lmao

This game personally attacked me for hours This game is basically the same deal as the first one (which was free, go play that too) but bigger, longer, and updated to the mid 2000s Important: This game is going to hit you more if you lived through that era. If you're some zoomer who grew up on discord and tiktok you're gonna be sitting there like, why is the interface so slow, because zoomers never knew the pain of waiting for someone to sign on, typing and deleting and retyping a message 40 times, or having your entire emotional state decided by whether a girl put your initials in her profile This game weaponizes nostalgia and aims it directly at your balls. The whole, you talk through a fake chat client, pick dialogue options, and slowly watch your relationships go places you didn't want them to go, thing works because it's too real. You've been this guy. You've typed something cringe at 1am and stared at she is typing. I felt genuinely called out and I'm still mad about it This is a linear a*s game, Is just reading with extra steps. There is choices and they're interesting and do change stuff, but this ain't some galaxy brain branching masterpiece, you're on rails and the rails are made of your own repressed memories. If you need gameplay in your games, stay far away, this is a book that guilts you But if you're a nostalf*g who misses that era, or you just want a short emotional gut punch, grab it. Especially on a deep sale, at that point it costs less than your dignity did back in 2000s Recommended, but only for people who enjoy reading and emotional self harm 7/10 Good nostalgia slop, but don't expect a masterpiece
