Emily Is Away Too
Emily is Away Too is the spiritual successor to the critically acclaimed original. Message both Emily and Evelyn as you determine the outcome of your senior year. Extend the story past the chat window with youtube links, facebook profiles and file transfers. And most importantly, change your text color to lime green so everyone knows you're the coolest kid in school.
What it feels like
Whimsical emphasis on lime-green text and meme culture creates a playful, unburdened tone. Senior year nostalgia and relationship uncertainties carry a wistful edge beneath the humor.
What it's about
Senior year setting and the passage through final high school experiences anchor the narrative. Set around senior year student life, classmates, and the academic calendar. Romantic relationships with Emily and Evelyn are central to the branching narrative and endings.
How it plays
Messaging friends and branching conversation choices drive the core interaction and story progression. Building relationships with Emily and Evelyn, with romance elements forming the central mechanic. Player choices shape the story and determine outcomes with different characters and ending paths.
How it looks and sounds
Retro pixel graphics evoke early 2000s aesthetic and are flagged prominently in user tags. Chat window interface and text-based presentation strip away non-essential visual elements. Messaging interface, YouTube links, and Facebook profiles exist within the game world's digital fiction.
How it's structured
Core single-player experience with no multiplayer component; designed for solo navigation of the narrative. Multiple endings determined by player choices messaging Emily and Evelyn; branching paths through senior year are definitional. Bounded narrative arc through a senior year with a definite beginning and end, though replayable for different outcomes.
