When you were partying, I seduced the blade.

When you were having premarital sex, I was hand holding with different weapons.

While you wasted your days at the gym in pursuit of vanity, I cultivated numerous boyfriends.

And now that the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate you have the audacity to come to me for help.

Emily Is Away is a game about someone you know, or rather someone you knew.

Emily Is Away is about growing apart and slowly becoming more conscious of the fact you resent each other, that the spark which joined you together in camaraderie has since fizzled out.

It's a game about hating yourself more than you hate the apathy in the conversation going on, silently praying that they'll say SOMETHING of substance, but you know they won't. You've seen the average playtime of this game and the reviews that lack subtlety (like this one!)

Emily Is Away is a gut wrenching franchise about friendships falling apart because nobody can truly communicate what they want, much less recognise what they need, and I love it.

Play this game if you want to feel hurt, or relive nostalgia with people who've long since forgotten you exist.
