What it does

Sign In again.

Emily is Away is an interactive story set in a retro chat-client. Create a screenname and choose your path through the branching narrative. It's one of those rare games that completely stopped me in my tracks. It reminded me both of Digital: A Love Story and Catholic-guilt-simulator Catherine. Which are not bad games to be comparedfrom kyleseeley23.itch.io
