Curator Review

Recommended
By The Death of Messiah January 13, 2018

““我原本以为我们能在一起的...我原本以为我能说出口的...“但是,Emily is Away。曾有无数的机会摆在我面前,我没有珍惜,直到失去后才追悔莫及。当年至尊宝的一句话道出了多少暗恋者的心酸?而本游戏的故事亦是如此。有时候,我们只是没有勇气走出那一步而已,看着幸福从眼前消失,只能假装祝福,说声“再见”。第一部免费,第二部21元,以此献给所有被互联网埋葬的爱情。”

Reviews

“It's one of those rare games that completely stopped me in my tracks.”
Julie Muncy, Wired

“A story game in which you return to a realm time forgot: AOL Instant Messenger.”
Nathan Grayson, Kotaku

“It reminded me both of Digital: A Love Story and Catholic-guilt-simulator Catherine. Which are not bad games to be compared to.”
Brendan Caldwell, Rock Paper Shotgun
