Part 2: I'd go to the party but there's Snow Patrol in my car!
"I'd go to the party with you but there's Snow Patrol in my car!" - Dash Rendar Will Never Go Away
Welcome to the second chapter! It's been a year since we've seen or talked to Emily, so let's check in and see how our friendship is doing. A couple things to note: all the inactive names in the buddy list are references to video games! try and guess which one is which! (hint: Isaac666 is in fact not a reference to Dead Space). Also, there are approximately 20 guides on how to beat Emily Is Away available on its Steam page (Thanks to ChaosArgate for pointing this out). Some of them promise a "Good Ending". They are lying, or their only contents suggest turning off the game.
MAJOR DIFFERENCES!!!!?!?!:
- If you go to Travis's party, Emily will be dating Brad (the band nerd who was annoying her in Chapter 1) by Chapter 2, but if you skip out on the party, she'll be dating Travis. No matter which result occurs, they will always be in a rough patch in their relationship and
Dashthe player will have to give her advice. Note: the advice will always be generally terrible. Remember, this is an awkward instant messenger simulator.
- If you say you like Coldplay, Emily will talk to you about Snow Patrol. If you say that you already know about them, she'll ask about your favourite song. Funny part is, only one of the song options (Run) is an actual Snow Patrol song--the rest are all traps to reveal your lack of knowledge about Snow Patrol. If you say Coldplay are shite, Emily won't talk to you about Snow Patrol.
