For those who haven't played the previous games in the franchise, Emily is Away and Emily is Away Too are a series of visual novels developed by solo-developer Kyle Seeley.

Players play the games on a replica version of AOL Instant Messenger and must make a range of choices that alter the story along the way.

The latest game in the series, Emily is Away <3, has been a long time coming, with the previous title releasing in May 2017.

However, fans now don't have too much longer to wait - let's take a look at the confirmed Emily is Away 3 release time on PC via Steam.

What's different with Emily is Away <3?

Emily is Away <3 takes things forward a few years and begins in the era of Facebook or Facenook as it's known in the game.

It follows a similar pattern to the other titles, where dialogue choices and decisions affect the story's final outcome, however, is played out across a social media platform as opposed to an instant messaging one.

The game maintains its short succinct style, with the previous two clocking in at around an hour or two.
