Emily is Away

 

Title: Emily is Away <3  Game System: PC (Steam)  Game Type: Text Simulation

The year is 2008 and AIM is dead (for those of you old enough to know what I am talking about) all of your friends are on "facenook" and finally convince you to join. With your friends' help you navigate the end of high school. There are multiple ways the game can end, you get to decide how it does. You go through a few chapters to decide how the end of high school ends for you. 

I enjoyed this small game, I would have enjoyed seeing more added to it. However, for what it is it's a nice game. In order to type you just have to hit only 1 button to type it and then hit enter for it to send. It's a game to sit and enjoy for a couple hours. 

Grow Up

When you first start the game you get a letter from your parents. You can pick how your parents look and your gender and then your name. Or you can leave most of it up to random. You will then go through stages from 1 to 18 by talking with kids at school and your parents. You can get a relationship with one of your friends. You use what's called a "brain map" to be able to get points so you may study and do entertainment. You pick some of the subjects you study. How you do on tests and how you respond to your friends and parents is how you will be dressed. I enjoy this game a bit more probably then I should but I am glad I own it and can nerd out. It's a nice relaxing game. Kind of like Sims but not as intricate.  

Tomodachi Life

In this game you will be the look a like, You will create people and put them in their own apartment, due to the interaction between them they will develop relationships and friendships and they can even move into a house while keeping their apartments and have a kid. The kid you have two choices, you can send them off to explore other players lands. You also interact with the people you create by playing mini games with them and you can watch them do things. There is a fun interaction they will do if they catch you watching them when they are flirting with each other. 

I have enjoyed this game over the time I have had it. It reminds me of Sims in a lot of ways. There are still a lot of things I get to discover and enjoy about it and I hope you will all consider getting it as well.
