Emily is Away

1. Walkthrough overview

Emily is Away is a game that went to quick success upon it's release in 2015 - possibly due to the fact that so many YouTubers played it. With a sequel released in 2017, Emily is Away is getting a lot of attention again, but how do you get those pesky icon achievements?

This walkthrough will tell you how!

Note: Playthroughs listed as 15, but it may be done in 14, if an icon achievement is earned at the start of the game.

2. General hints and tips

There isn't really any advice I can give you for Emily is Away other than, when you make a decision, just spam type on your keyboard. Your character does not type unless you type on your keyboard - the quicker you spam type, the quicker the message gets written and sent.

3. Story walkthrough

Emily is Away features 20 Steam achievements, and some of these are story related, but only a marginal few. This requires a few play throughs – or rather, a lot of closing the game and reopening it.

First, log on to 2002. You can either choose your own screen name and first name OR you can collect the first icon achievement here. Choosing the first icon achievement here knocks off one of the playthroughs.

To unlock the Write Some Fiction achievement, use “Deadworld” as your screen name and “Elegy” as your first name. The achievement will unlock after a small Easter Egg talk, and then the game will continue as normal.
