As with the first one, Emily is Away Too is a wonderfully crafted narrative experience that echoes what it was like to be a teenager in the mid-2000s. For such a simple concept, the level of detail really makes this game a fantastic narrative experience. If you like short narrative experiences, I can’t recommend this enough. Emily is Away Too (Reviewed on Windows) Excellent.

Emily is Away is a difficult game to detail, in that it doesn’t feel quite so much like a game, but rather an extreme-nostalgia-generating-pick-your-own-adventure box. The premise of Emily is Away, and its sequel Emily is Away Too, is built around replicating the early days near the turn of the millennium in which instant messengers like AOL, QQ and GTalk were all the rage and the conversations that came up on these platforms. What makes Emily is Away stand out is how close to the original source the game treads.

Emily is Away Too is basically the first game expanded beyond a simple gimmick. It may not be the best piece of interactive fiction ever created, but quality-of-life changes to the original formula make the journey feel more personal for individual players. The multiple endings really seal the deal, meaning you’re in for heartbreak or everlasting love. The low price of admission is also nice, since spending $5 is hardly what I’d call expensive.
