About Emily is Away

Emily is Away is a single player simulator and visual novel released on November 20, 2015, for Linux, PC, and Mac. Developed and published by Kyle Seeley, it is the first entry in the Emily Is Away series and is presented entirely through text, with the game playing out as a chat window interface.

The game is set in the style of early instant messaging, with the chat program and its era shaping the experience. Players create a screen name and interact with a fellow high school student named Emily through a branching narrative. The romance theme runs through the story, and the choices you make along the way affect how the relationship develops.

Genre tags for the game include adventure and indie, which reflect its focus on conversation and exploration over action. Because the game is told through text alone, the writing and dialogue choices carry most of the weight throughout the play experience.
