Emily is Away

mechanically positioning a girl as the gatekeeper of whether you win or lose (access to her) does some strange things to gamers, especially if you then decide to explore themes of teenage growing pains and inevitable what ifs. turns a complicated person into an antagonistic object, apparently

Nostalgic but could be better.

The game is so lame because regardless of what you do your player character comes off like he can't get over his old high school crush and said crush is the most bland, boring person imaginable. As something supposedly trying to capture the 00's, it doesn't seem to care enough to express anything about the culture of that era beyond basic MSN lingo and looking past that the most they could muster for any character is basic biographical information at best. A real waste of an hour.

Decent enough story-based drama. Its free so if you have an hour or so.
