Emily is *****, you're welcome
Great story. Just keep in mind that "branching narrative" is a misleading. Some decisions, light and major, happen off-screen that you have no control over and can make your character look like a massive jerk. The decision of having to type the replies (see in the trailer how the messages are written? You have to type each letter/character to have it match the final message your character sends) is also a annoying. Just selecting the option and having it write for you would have been way better. Steam doesn't have a mixed rating, so I will give it a recommend just because the game is free. If you had to pay, it would be a no. Light Spoiler: Spend an hour at it and don't bother with alternate paths. The endings are pretty much the same and reading the alternatives is better than redoing the game due to the typing issue.

Rating: 9.4/10 Emily is Away is a free interactive story that perfectly captures the nostalgia of the early 2000s. Through an old-school instant messaging interface, the game tells an emotional coming-of-age story where your choices shape your relationship with Emily. Despite its simple presentation, it delivers a surprisingly powerful narrative that stays with you long after the credits roll.

A brief interactive experience that sets out to push a particular narrative down your throat while giving you a pretty pathetic illusion of choice for some reason... perhaps as a means to pose as a 'game' rather than just someone's clichéd "coming of age" short story wrapped in a stylised digital medium. Basically, it's a low-effort visual novel. However, it still might appear curious enough and even relatable to certain people familiar with the context.
