Emily is Away vs Urban Dead
Emily is Away
Emily is Away is a story-driven, text-based game that's uniquely set in a chat messenger app and has online dating as its theme. In this game, after choosing an icon for your profile, you'll be chatting with a virtual person called Emily in order to get to know her better and possible build a closer relationship with her. The game is not at all the mushy romantic stories that you might be expecting. Instead, the game has multiple endings that aren't all positive.There isn't a lot of realistic romance stories out there, but Emily is Away not only manages start a whole new precendence but also to nail it on the head. If you enjoy a good story where you get to play the "most eligible bachelor" in the game, then Emily is Away is a great game to play.
Urban Dead
Urban Dead is a mainly text-based MMO game set in a post-apocalyptic city that you can play straight from your browser. Assume the role as an urban survivor trapped in a quarantined city just trying to get by. However, unlike most games, Urban Dead is an MMO and as such, you'll encounter other players as you wander from place to place hoping to scavenge something - anything - that might help you. These players can be friendly or hostile (though, it's more often the case the latter).You can even set up a center of operations, so to speak, by clearing a place out and lock the place down. Other players might try to break into your base though, so it might be best to recruit a few trustworthy players to help you maintain your base and keep it as well as everything you hoard in it safe from any looters. Of course, there are also zombies that will attack your base and you, if you are unlucky enough to bump into one or an entire horde.
Urban Dead is a quite different text-based game admittedly, but it is still very addictive to play. It might be best to play with friends though due to how its base building feature is structured and well, there is always safety in numbers.
