Steam review snapshots
five minutes?) and we discover, surprise surprise, Emily is dating Travis (the person who hosted this party).Immersive – replicates the feeling of messaging someone during this era of technology, with a bunch of references and sounds to boast.In a way, I can see how this equates to a real life scenario, and it is bittersweet; no matter what you…A nostalgic and emotional experience that perfectly captures the feeling of old-school messaging.Why it fits
Best for players who want an emotional, short experience with exploration and strong atmosphere. Emily is Away offers an emotional story, strong atmosphere, melancholic tone, and compact exploration in a relaxing single-player format.
Who might skip it
