EMMA The Story

EMMA The Story is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This is a particularly lazy e-book that only lasts for 20 minutes if you read slowly... it's about a guy who talks to a drunk guy at a bus stop. Incredible. I understand some childrens books can be read in less than 20 minutes, but if you read this to a child, CPS would take your kids away for abuse via mediocrity. It's really that bad. There's no interaction with this E-book at all, not even a pretend Choose Your Own Adventure. This might as well be a Youtube video. I didn't know Steam was here to compete with Youtube. Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you wanted to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages. You'd think it was garbage. Now imagine that experience, but with much worse writing (because if these guys could write professionally, they'd be published authors and this would be on shelves in bookstores, and they wouldn't have to pay Valve $100 to self-publish this on Steam), and you have your average Steam e-book. You can get better quality books and comics for free online or from public libraries, or from bookstores for a fraction of the price of this "game". Steam isn't a comic book store, neither is it Netflix, it's for games. Your gaming rig is not a Kindle. It's impossible for me to recommend things to PC gamers that aren't really games. The poor quality of this E-Book is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak reader number was only 3 readers. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only reader activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality E-Book is to be expected. EMMA The Story is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the E-Book, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. If you really want to read this E-book, someone probably has a "let's play" on Youtube that you could just watch for free. What a joke.

Игра про двух алкашей на остановке... Наверное... Русский язык не завезли поэтому я ничего не понял... Зато картинки посмотрел и музыку послушал... И на том спасибо...

I wouldn't say this is a game in the traditional sense; instead it's more of a short and sweet visual novel. But I finished this one in 20 minutes and the story is surprisingly great. Loving the character art style too. Imagine if this one is a full-fledged visual novel that dabbles in science fiction and perhaps some philosophical matters, I'll definitely buy it. Better if it comes with "Made Your Own Choices" gameplay mechanics. I got this one on sales and I do plan on keeping it after this. Great job, developers.

Non-interactive visual novel. Visuals and music are very beautiful and artistic creating pretty journey, however the game is short, VERY short and i dont feel that it's well written, barely mediocre. Alot of people here compliment story, but it's very distinct from a good novel writing and I don't quite understand what they're so excited about. Im not touched, im not amazed, im not invested into characters, it's just dull

Court et bien écrit petit jeu narratif. Touchant et belle DA, belle musique. Tout petit voyage avec une jolie histoire qui immerge en quelques minutes. Quand vous avez la flemme d'ouvrir un bouquin mais que vous voulez vous évader un peu.

I honestly thought this was going to be 'just another vn', oh boy was I wrong! The dialogue is silent, and it really did take me a second to cop this wasn't an extended demo. That said this truly is a beautiful piece of art. It allows you to theorise further levels of life, in a calming setting. It's short, to the point and rather relaxing. I don't want to say too much as I'm afraid I'll give the plot away. From the art-work to the music there isn't a negative thing to say about this game. I recommend picking it up and giving it a go yourself. I would like to see an updated game released, or an extension to the ending. All in all 10/10 for €99c you can't go wrong!

Less than 20’ for a well written little lesson. We’ve all had doubts in life, and we’ve all had asked “what if”, but don’t let regrets grow inside of u. Great graphics and beautiful words. Also, game runs perfectly on the steam deck. Give them ur money!
