Part 5: Dash Rendar Will Never Die But You Will.
Dash Rendar Will Never Die But You Will.
I'm with CJacobs, with regards to ratings. Emily Is Away doesn't make for a particularly exciting game, and in fact, multiple playthroughs quickly show how limited the game actually is. That said, it was a great experience. It's like Heavy Rain, I guess. Play it once and it's pretty good. Any more than that and it's a joyless slog. As an experience, it's really riling people up. Browsing the Steam Community Hub is hilarious and awful:

MAJOR DIFFERENCES!!!!?!?!:
- If you refused to talk with Emily about things in the last chapter, then this chapter only lasts a couple lines. Dash says "hi", Emily says "I don't want to talk right now" and the end credits roll. Worst Ending or Best Ending? You decide.
- Emily will always be back with her previous boyfriend at this point, whether it was Travis or Brad.
- Emma and Mike will have always moved on from Dash and wind up dating each other. It's because Dash is a black hole of failure and regrets. A Dash-hole, if you will.
- Unless you get the "Fuck off, Dash" ending, then Chapter 5 will always end poorly--just, more slowly. You can either to end it mercifully quick or keep exhausting your dialogue options until all of them say 'goodbye'.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand, that's it. Thanks for stickin' it out with Dash Rendar until the bitter end. I liked this game. You should definitely give it a go if you're in the least bit interested. I doubt I found all the alternate dialogue choices and options, and I definitely didn't use the secret bonus buddy icons. Also, the dev is working on adding Steam Achievements and Trading Cards. Remember, it's free so it's definitely worth a look: http://store.steampowered.com/app/417860/
