This game is cool, I ended up dating with the punk girl and ditched Emily because she was a bitch in the last game (I'm actually annoyed that the game forced me to talk to her again and continue as friends lol). I saw a lot of people saying how the game is nostalgic to them, but to me it isn't. I think that probably is because I am not American so a lot of things don't apply (like prom which is a thing that I only see in movies) and I never talked to boys in chat message in high school (so I also don't relate to talk to your crush thing). Also I didn't know any of the bands that the girls talked about (I thought that one of them was going to mention about mcr or fob at one point, but I only got the icons).

But I liked the novelty of the gameplay because it is most believable than a generic visual novel with anime characters, You could even think that you are talking to someone which is cool as f LOL and there's less drama compared to the first game in the series, so it's cool.

The only things that I didn't like it was that The Sims isn't a RPG and I wanted to know what that girl (kelly or something) did that was illegal lol

I'm not sure if I'm enjoying this anymore. I feel like I'm a therapist counseling two emotional drunk girls. It's kind of close to my job in real life.......

I'm not sure if I'm enjoying this anymore. I feel like I'm a therapist counseling two emotional drunk girls. It's kind of close to my job in real life.......

Got to the third chapter and just x'd it out because I wouldn't want to deal with either of the AI girls in real life and actually haven't dealt with people that emotional when I was in college.

Maybe I'm just tired now but the game feels cringy. I can appreciate the nostalgia which drew me in but it's getting pretty tedious and irritating.

The people I chatted with in AIM back in college were not quite this needy. Usually they understood if you need to study or you're trying to sign off.

Either way, cool game, but the novelty is wearing off. I may revisit it at some point....after a long break.

Nostalgia overload!

I'm finding that girls don't seem to enjoy that I'm open minded about mostly everything. "omg you don't like this dangerously slow Snow Patrol song!" lol

Either way I'm loving it for all the flashbacks to college and my awkward social life. I'm answering like I would have in college (e.g. I loved rap, I drank often, I …

Nostalgia overload!

I'm finding that girls don't seem to enjoy that I'm open minded about mostly everything. "omg you don't like this dangerously slow Snow Patrol song!" lol

Either way I'm loving it for all the flashbacks to college and my awkward social life. I'm answering like I would have in college (e.g. I loved rap, I drank often, I don't care if people don't like what I'm into).

By the end of this no one will like that I don't have fixed beliefs in media (my prediction).

Old school Youtoob website is great and I even set the pixelated "climb" pic as my background.

I'll keep stumbling through my social life just like I did back in the day while answering honestly in this game. I'm also a big fan of the old school HDD sounds (grinding, crunching) just like my old Dell laptop did. Man, that thing took some abuse!

A visual novel through a chat where it presents the look of the year 2007 as well as youtoob and facenook. The story involves two girls where over the 5 chapters the player has to make some choices that will determine the ending.

Well, I got a good ending in Emily Is Away Too! It was fun, but a little tedious. Probably 3 stars in quality, but I knocked it up to 4 due to the massive amounts of nostalgia it generated for me. Time to get back to Okami and TriForce Heroes.

We completed Emily Is Away Too last night. It was fun and nostalgic. Unfortunately, my wife and I argued over how we should proceed in certain scenarios, which resulted in us getting a bad ending. So... we are replaying it!

I started playing Emily Is Away Too with my wife last night. She complained and dragged her feet when I told her I wanted to play this game with her (she is not into most games), but I had a feeling she would like it. A couple minutes in and she was hooked. It definitely brings you right back to high school if you are in the right age range. We finished chapter 1 and are excited to continue.
