"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."

Same premise, but set in 1988.
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
I think I've replayed Emily Is Away a dozen times since creating this thread. The sequel is longer and has more content, so I haven't gotten past chapter three yet. I wanted to buy both games on Steam, but don't have a credit card or PayPal.
If there was a third game, set in high school between 2006 and 2010 and featuring MSN Messenger and Facenook, that would be the story of my life

I think I may like this game too much.

I bought Emily is Away Too on Steam yesterday (well, asked a friend to buy it and gift it to me, then gave him the $5 in cash). It took me three-something hours to finish the game, but it could have been at least five if I hadn't ignored all the Internet-related content like YouToob and Facenook links, to focus entirely on the chat window and story. Multiple endings, unlockable buddy icons and a certain surprise that shows up after finishing the game at least once give it high replay value.
In short, I strongly recommend it. Message me if you need an illegal copy to try before you buy

I showed Emily is Away to a friend and he played it. After three playthroughs he was criticizing both Emily for being a bitch, and the protagonist (or at least the choices available at certain points) for being so cowardly, perhaps not realizing both are part of the game's message.
He asked if there was a happy ending, and I adviced him to keep playing, but I think I'll tell him today.

I'd like to thank these games for exposing me to so many good bands, most of which I hadn't heard about before.

I got one of the bad endings today. It was an emotional rollercoaster.

I think the first chapter of the first game was originally meant to take place on 2001. Most of the things in the buddy icons and infos (Donnie Darko, Toxicity, The Rock Show, Harry Potter, Don't Panic) came out that year.
Also, this is exactly how I pictured them!

I was replaying Emily is Away Too today and...
The first two chapters of the game take place on 2006. The game itself was released on May of this year. I got to chapter two (October 2006) and Evelyn said it was Friday the 13th. I looked at the calendar and noticed last Friday was also a 13th, and upon a closer look, the calendars for 2006 and 2017 are identical! Pretty interesting.

so i tried it too, went for a quick walkthrough twice and both ended up in 'separation' hehe, so i get the feeling it is rather set-up to fail, perhaps one needs to be extra careful with the answersOriginally Posted by anon
didn't seem that way in-game, those status info lyrics were depressive or suicidal, but she didn't show much while chattingThere is a sort-of conspiracy theory about the game's ending, which says that after chapter four, Emily committed suicide
it could mean that our character kinda lost interest or got disappointed and there was not much else to talk about - she was also rather disinterested with the answersEmily is finishing up college and got back with Brad or Travis because that's what the protagonist thought or expected she would do; similarly, they will delete certain questions (including "could I see you this summer?" and "will we ever be the way we were?") and replace them with mundane ones, because if Emily is dead, it wouldn't be possible to get a yes anyway.
maybe she was trying to say that our character is (like) a jumbled indie computer programOf course, Emily can't know what you look like, so she makes a heavily pixelated drawing of a chat window.
other than that, it reminded me of an indie tv show called 'the scene' (2004), where they made heavy use of irc chatting windows to further the story
