I'll probably try a messier playthrough my second go around. I mostly interacted with Em and didn't have much drama that was outside of that relationship (only Travis and Emma appeared).

I was also surprised at how insular of an experience it was on my end. I was surprised how realistic it ended up feeling like and the feeling was kinda melancholy like knowing that this was the end of our mostly platonic, formerly close relationship. Seemingly never talking ever again and ending the friendship. We ended the conversation with a curt 'goodbye' and that was that. My relationship with Em slowly deteriorated and I thought it was really interesting how senior year of college I had to message her first, and that she just wasn't guiding the conversation anymore. I wasn't all that interested in talking with her anymore. It is freely available on Steam and Itch.io. Before that point I was kinda out of it with Emily and only invited her out of pity. Emily is Away is a short Interactive Fiction game created by Kyle Seeley. Apparently we hooked up (I wouldn't have done that in real life but whatever).

She asked to visit and I agreed and we ended up hanging out in the dorm room. Audiences decide where they want to take the story.

Each player functions as the protagonist of the story, making their own screen names and chatting the years away with Emily, the story’s leading lady. So Em ended up with Travis after the party (that I didn't go to) at the end of senior in her first year of college but they ended up breaking up. Emily Is Away is a visual novel that audiences can enjoy for free. It ended up being really similar to things that have happened in my life when it comes to relationships. The game can make users remember what kind. So that meant no parties, no drinking, school focused etc. Emily is away too can cause nostalgia for those who sat at computers at the very beginning of the 21st century. So I decided to play my first game what I would have done in real life.
