How it feels

You navigate the awkward, nostalgic feel of instant messaging in the mid-2000s, making dialogue choices that shape relationships and high school memories.

What players say

Players say the game captures the feeling of being a teenager texting on an old computer, and your choices genuinely split the story into several endings. Some find the heavy topics unsettling or triggering, while others love Evelyn and note the game is shorter than the first.
