Description
Emily is Away <3
Log in, update your status, and get ready for a heavy dose of nostalgia. Emily is Away <3 is a brand new story set on an old-school social media platform called “Facenook.” It is 2008, and your choices will determine the fate of your senior year.
Following the cult success of the original Emily is Away, this spiritual successor moves away from the chat windows of the early 2000s and into the era of wall posts, pokes, and relationship statuses. It is a narrative-driven visual novel where you don’t just read the story—you type it, you tag it, and you live it.
Welcome to 2008

Facenook: Create your profile, upload your pixelated profile picture, and navigate the social minefield of high school. Write on your friends’ walls, tag them in photos, and anxiously wait to see who accepts your friend request.
-
The Playlist: It wouldn’t be 2008 without the music. The game features a “YouToob” player where you can listen to era-appropriate indie-rock and pop-punk hits while you chat.
Emily or Evelyn?
It’s your senior year, and everything is changing.

Branching Narrative: You will reconnect with your old friend Emily and meet the new girl, Evelyn. Who you talk to, what you say, and how you react to drama will radically change the story.
