" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Announced in a tweet from the game's solo developer Kyle Seeley, fans of the series won't have to wait too much longer for the next installment. Emily is Away <3 is set for PC release on April 16. Because of delays and development issues, it was up in the air if the game was ever going to come out. Luckily, Seeley has been very transparent about the game's development so those fears have been quickly put to rest.

Emily is Away <3 Theme

As mentioned above, the Emily is Away games do a wonderful job at recreating the feel of using old-school social media sites. Seeley announced on Twitter in 2019 that the game would move away from AOL Instant Messanger and focus on the early days of both Facebook and Youtube. The game's most recent trailer shows exactly what that will look like.

Emily is Away <3 Preview

For more on Emily is Away <3, make sure to check out this preview by Mike Ruiz. He wrote in the preview piece, "Although it was only the first chapter, I can tell Emily is Away <3 is going to be something special. The use of Facenook is brilliantly nostalgic, bringing me back to a simpler albeit terrible time in my life filled with indecision and discomfort."
