Emily is Away vs Until Dawn
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.
Until Dawn
Until Dawn is a story-rich and an intense horror-thriller game where you play as one of eight friends who are trapped in a remote mountain retreat and apparently, they are not alone. With fear gnawing at the edges of their very sanity, they will need to last the night until dawn (and salvation) arrives. Being story-driven, the game provides you with many dialogue choices to choose from, each of which has its own consequences and outcomes. Sometimes, that very outcome may mean life or death for a character. Not to mention, the game is complete with realistic graphics and an atmospheric (and perfectly creepy) music and sound effects that will keep you glued to the screen as you follow the storyline.Until Dawn is definitely not the sort of game for the weak-hearted. The horror element in the game can be pretty intense at times, but the storytelling from its pacing to the clincher is simply superb although, personally, I'm not a huge fan of scary stories. Until Dawn is available on Playstation consoles.
