Emily is Away Too

You play a high-school senior in a story set around 2006, chatting with Emily and Evelyn as your relationships and senior year unfold.

Use an old-style instant messenger to choose replies, switch between conversations, and manage a desktop with profiles, away messages, and buddy icons. Links lead to fictional websites, music pages, and social profiles, while file transfers extend the chats beyond the messenger window.

Dialogue choices shape the branching story and can lead to different endings. You can revisit conversations and explore alternate paths, secrets, and outcomes.

Players often enjoy the mid-2000s internet atmosphere, especially the messenger design, fictional websites, music, and period details. Many describe the branching conversations and relationships as emotionally engaging, while some find the dialogue choices or resulting conflicts unclear or contrived. Short length and repetitive exchanges also come up as drawbacks.
