Long-Distance Relationship | |
Emily Is Away (Video Game) / int_3497a64e | comment |
Long-Distance Relationship: Regardless of who the player chooses to date, they are faced with this issue, as Emily and Evelyn will end up going to a different college than them after Senior year. Both will express concern about whether their relationship will survive, and will discuss couples who have broken up over these issues, to which the player will be given the option to reassure them, suggest they break up, or ask them what they would like to do. If you choose to stay together, the game will end after their conversation, leaving it unclear whether the player character and Emily/Evelyn's relationship will last through college, although the player is reassured that they love them. | |

Musical Gag | |
Emily Is Away (Video Game) / int_3e24af42 | comment |
Musical Gag: Some of the icon Easter Eggs have Emily reference the band you chose. One icon is John Cena, which references the Unexpected John Cena meme, complete with theme song and shouting. Emily is very confused by this. A couple more jokes involve typing out the lyrics of the Nyan Cat song, and the original Pokémon theme. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Even the Good Endings of the game are tinged with bittersweetness due to Emily/Evelyn planning to attend a different college from the player after senior year, which they acknowledge may make them being together difficult. While the player has the option to reassure them about the strength of their love for each other, the game ends after their conversation, leaving it unclear whether they will last. | |

Wham Line: Chapter 3 can deliver the first major one, when Emily reminisces about Travis's party if the player character attended. Chapter 4 can deliver a second one, a year after Emily may have visited you at your college. A possible minor one from the same chapter if Emily had visited, before you delete it: | |

Wham Shot: You, the player, get one when the more personal questions you want to ask Emily in Chapter 5 get replaced with dull questions as you're typing. Eventually, your dialogue options will be reduced to saying goodbye to Emily before logging off. | |

But Thou Must! | |
Emily Is Away (Video Game) / int_504e271f | comment |
But Thou Must!: You can't actually type your responses to Emily; rather, you have to mash keys on the keyboard until the game finishes the pre-made response for whatever option you picked. This fuels the Wham Shot in Chapter 5, where you keep trying to ask Emily about your relationship with each other, only for the game to backspace those questions and make them boring. Also, no matter what you say or how you act, there are only two endings. Both of them involve the two of you going your separate ways. | |

Emily Is Away (Video Game) / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Played for Drama in Chapter 5. Eventually, you WILL run out of things to talk about, so you will end up saying goodbye to Emily. The only exception to this is if you were uncooperative when Emily wanted to talk in Chapter 4, in which case she'll do this to you instead. | |

Last-Second Word Swap: Done in bits and pieces throughout the game, sometimes to fix typos, sometimes to hide your true feelings for Emily.
