It's a incredibly short "story" that leaves you with an empty feeling at the end, and when I say empty I mean more like pointless. However it took me on quite a nostalgia trip. If you used to chat with your buddies using AOL instant messanger on Windows XP like I did years back than you should give it a shot. it's pretty unique how well it made it feel like the early 2000s. The whole game is played on a simulated computer using an AOL instant messanger clone to talk to your friend, it even has the drama and stupid "situations"that being a teenager comes with. Felt pretty close to how I remember it feeling like back when.It has value in my eyes despite it being a faliure. If you're around my age than I reccomend putting giving it a quick playthrough (20-30min), jumping a couple years in the past for 30min itsn't so bad. Hell, If it was any longer I would be pulling my hair out.. Notice: This review is based on my personal experience, which is very similar to the story of the game. Call it a semi-spoiler. With that said, those with intentions of playing the game without being spoiled, please look elsewhere.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I used to have a lot of friends back in high school. And there was this one person with whom I never spoke too much. After graduation, she left for the US. We were able to get in contact with each other through social media, though. I think I struck a conversation with her first, and that's when our friendship started to blossom.A few days in, we start to talk about almost everything, being all nice to each other and stuff. We speak about what school was like. Just sharing memories.A few weeks in, mid-2012, and we talk to each other non-stop. We tend to stay up late for each other. Sometimes, we'd ask each other stupid questions just to keep the conversation going, because it was fun.A few months in, end of 2012 to early 2013, and we have practically found solace in each other, and talk to get away from things. We share info on our problems. We complain to each other. We debate on things. And there are many times when she felt like she wanted to come back here to meet everyone again. This was the closest I've been with a person online.It's about mid-2014, and we've run out of things to talk about. She talks about how she doesn't feel too alone anymore. and how she's making new friends now and then. And I say that I'm really happy for her. She sells cupcakes, and goes out with her friends once a while.It's 2015 ... I send her a sort of petition to sign, but it was just a desperate attempt to try to resuscitate our excessively engaging conversations again. It didn't work, ended up talking about college again. It felt like talking to her the first time all over again.2017... and counting ... I haven't spoken to her since then ... and it doesn't feel like we're friends anymore.Although I am a stranger to the nostalgic visualization that the game represents to those who are familiar with AOL Instant Messaging (as I have clearly never used it), Emily is Away nails this emotional aspect of my life so hard, it made me think of the times when I actually had a lot of fun talking to my friend. The fact that I can't have that back again makes it all the more hurtful. And all the more reason to give it a try, so you could appreciate what you had while it lasted. This game, in short, is a reminder that all good things will always come to an end. And I feel \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665ing horrible about it.. I put my name as Brad.Jokes on you Emily.. A very interesting concept. You are a socially awkward person who is talking to a girl while trying not to stuff up your friendship. Make the wrong choice and you will loose your friendship. A good timewaster...PROS: New Concept Interesting story Quick Good time wasterCONS: Very Quick (30 mins of gameplay) Repeats Relates too strongly with social complications in the real worldA good game and I can't wait to see number 2 in June.Overall: 7.75\/10Would recommend!. Horrible depressing ending. I wasted so much time trying to get a good ending.. emerly35 has signed inemerly35: Hey, what are you doing?Me: Playing a gameemerly35: What game?Me:\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 IDI NAHUI LET'S GO RUSH Bemerly35 is away10\/10 You don't rank up dating. I feel empty inside :(Goodbye.. The game tries to invest the player emotionally through the sole use of internet chat messages. While commendable, the lack of control over the conversations and context left me uninterested in the titular character, which is not introduced in any way and whose personality can be quite grating, which was unfortunate, as you as the player are supposed to want to end up with her. Since I did indeed drift apart, I consider I got a happy ending.
