805/10, like The Wolf Among Us with Windows XP.

For real though, Emily is Away is one of those games wherein there's no reall goal or gameplay, but rather a story that you change through your choices. Unlike a traditional VN, you're not trying to get in anyone's pants or become student body president, you're simply chatting away with Emily. In the one playthrough I've done thus far, I accidentally got drunk and hooked up with Emily, which then ruined my friendship, and eventually, I lost control as the dialogue options I chose were erased and overridden. Now I want to go back and see just what would happen if I chose "no alcohol". And that's what Emily is Away is: a game of "what if I just changed that ONE thing?"
