I remember playing the original Emily is Away on a lonely Friday night in high school. Upon finishing it, a friend on Steam texted me. Remarking how he didn't like the ending and how it really never changes. While I agreed with him on initial thought. I have since seen videos that have made excellent cases for its linear ending.
However, Emily is Away Too decides to buck that style all together. This game is everything the original game was, with multiple endings, a lighter mood than the original, and TWO girls instead of a lowly single female to woo. Except that this game doesn't play like that.
This isn't a dating sim, at least in the traditional sense. Changing your personality will get you nothing. If you want to get the good endings, you need to be honest to yourself. Which I found was interesting.
But most importantly, this game makes you choose your future pretty early on in a method that is ingenius. I won't spoil it. But I really liked it.
Overall, I really like this game. It feels like an expansion of what was presented in the original.
Also the easter eggs are 10/10
