And ultimately, it only further exposes the title’s visual flaws, as the miniscule scope of the menu environment allows one to see how poor the title at hand truly is, visually.Įmily Wants to Play Too is not a AAA, or even a AA title, so it would be unfair to scathe it for a limited visual façade. And not to prolong, all that have to be said about Emily Wants to Play Too’s main menu, is that it is incredibly cumbersome, and unnecessarily expansive. However, this particular title’s menu is as unconventional as the gameplay itself, as it is situated within a gameplay-styled room, which you’ll have to navigate in order to access the in-game settings, and to even start the game itself. Just like any game, Emily Wants to Play Too features a plethora of options and settings, which allow you to optimise the experience to your liking. But fortunately, if you are not a fan of mannequins jumping in your face, whenever the timer runs out, Emily Wants to Play Too, allows you to turn them all off.

And on your way to the rather anticlimactic finale you’ll be confronted with an entire array of B-grade horror elements, and even cheaper jump scares. However, as you’ll continue to press through the slog which Emily Wants to Play Too is, you’ll find a plethora of quote-on-quote hidden objectives which need to be completed in order to unlock the true ending. The core gameplay, and mechanics surrounding this particular game, are both mind numbingly straight forward.

And the core gameplay of Emily Wants to Play Too boils down to you having find and interact with certain objects before the timer runs out. The similarities between the two stretch well past the first person perspective, as both these games revolve around simplistic puzzles with a behind-the-scenes time limit imposed on player’s actions. And that’s because this particular game allows you to freely explore its poorly designed environments in first person, instead of forcing you to jump between cameras. And while those odds appear to be incredibly unfair, they unfortunately expand with every new horror release, as the vast majority of horror games such as the recently released Infernium, and most importantly, Emily Wants to Play Too, only further rig the odds in favour of the house.Įmily Wants to Play Too, is like a slightly more interactive and photorealistic version of Five Night at Freddy’s. And that’s because whenever one is buying into any title of the said genre, he/she is basically using his/her hard-earned money, to gamble onto a title which has one-in-a-million chance of being good, or even acceptable. Horror genre, in many ways, is like a never-ending, and ever-expanding casino, which unlike the real gambling dens, can never be fooled.
