This game is a brief but delightful experience. The art is fantastic, and its short duration doesn't diminish its charm. Packed with adorable messages, it's a perfect choice for a quick and heartwarming gaming session.

It was just an amazing experience, and I'm not sure enough about how to describe how much I loved it...

After all, I'm just a casual gamer, so I don't have much to say about gameplay. However, I do want to share that I appreciated a lot the work that those who developed this game did. Because I found Senua's story very interesting, but what I think stands out is the way they represent the schizophrenia she suffers from and how much this torments her along the history.

What seems to me to be more accurate about this is that they worked with experts in the field and people who have actually experienced these circumstances, to approximate to this psychological disorder through an captivating introspective vision. It seems to me an incredible approach to the vision or sensation of what some psychotic symptoms can be.

Videogames can truly provide an accurate perspective of what it's like to live having this difficulties, and I see how it tries to fight against the stigmas that have been created in this regard in our society. Beyond the fantastic elements of the story, it manages to make you experiment in such a way that it makes you empathize with her.

On the other hand, I loved the puzzles, because although they were difficult for me from time to time and I was tempted to look for some guidance in the end I always managed to complete them and move forward. The battles were exciting, even for me who does not consider myself a fan of action games. The soundtrack is epic, it fills you with just the right emotions.

Among the many meaningful quotes this game has, I think one of my favorites is the following:
𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘦. 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵. 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮. 𝘐𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘴... 𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵.

I would totally recommend giving it a try.

The first game "Emily is Away" left me very dejected, and I still loved it. I personally think it teaches us about the complexity of relationships, and how to deal with the suffering of ending them. In this second game, it stands out how honest we are with others and with ourselves.

At the beginning I was more than sure that Emily would break my heart again, but the first surprise I had was Evelyn's arrival. I liked that both have different tastes and ways of seeing life, and that you can identify with them in some aspects. But, at certain point, prepare yourself for a certain dose of stress.

I totally loved how new features were added, having much more interactivity than in the first game. The references to social networks, platforms, icons, memes, etc., made it a very entertaining experience... And I just adored several of the musical recommendations from Emily and Evelyn!!

As I said before, at the end of the game there is a message intended to be given about how we build our relationships. And I don't know whether to consider it a spoiler or not, but ... it became clear that the sincerity is essential. Pretending to be someone else to please others leads to nothing good. Even if we have differences, the best is being real, cause a relationship based on lies never flourishes how it is supposed to do. Certainly the game may have the peculiarity of becoming really strict with what you decide, cause sometimes it seems that there are no half-measures. But life can be that drastic sometimes, so I don't see this aspect as something wrong.

"Emily is away too" is a truly good game, and I think it's worth playing. It may not suit for everyone, but I would recommend it if you enjoy simulators, nostalgia and references ♡

I think it's a very interesting puzzle. The minimalist design and the soft music make it quite relaxing to play. It seems simple to only superimpose figures on each other, but replicating some shapes is not as easy as it seems.
It's a bit short, but still affordable and really enjoyable ♡

I liked it, even though the ending made me sad. Seriously, it made me stop for a moment and just feel how painful can be to lose touch with someone you used to appreciate.
Design and sounds are also nostalgic. It's a bittersweet game.

It's an interesting game if you like puzzles. Not too long, but it may seem so if you suddenly lose patience. The difficulty increases as you go on solving the puzzles. Although playing it was not as relaxing as I thought it would be (for me at least, haha), it is quite enjoyable in order to entertain yourself for a while. Besides, it's affordable and the simple design is also pretty good.

A game that you finish very soon, but extremely adorable and touching. It deals with serious issues such as depression, and about not being sure about what we do with our lives, but I think that at some point we have all had ideas like that. The four endings are interesting at their own way. The art and music in the game are amazing too. I liked it a lot.

This is one of the cutest games I've ever tried. I find it adorable because anyone can relate with many of its situations. It is very short, but worth it. ♥
