Emily Enough

Post by eMTe »

Emily Enough is a black comedy about a young girl who during her birthday on August the 31st 2003, without any substantial reason, decides to stab her family and their servants.

The Enough family has arranged a birthday party for little Emily in the Enough estate. Emily is a very demanding girl. When her parents fail to please her insane demands, Emily flips out, grabs a knife and stabs her whole family and their servants! Emily Enough became an instant phenomenon for the media and the journalists called her the kiddie killer. When asked why did she do it, Emily replied: 'I wanted to see what was inside mommy'. The court sentenced Emily to the Claxochem Center for mental wellness institute. This institute however is falling apart. The company that owns it had to go under several budget cuts, resulting in the layoffs of all the institute's personnel. To make things even worse Claxochem moved their offices to the institute!

Due to the somewhat psychotic nature of the story, it is not for everyone. If you enjoy black humour and odd stories you should definitely give it a try.

Here's another example of an adventure game where the protagonist got straight in my face. Emily is nasty for no reason. Only she's not. I mean, sometimes she is and sometimes she isn't. Her personality is all over the place. She isn't fleshed out even a little, which is definitely a missed opportunity. Had the game been about getting inside Emily the murdering child's head instead of being about puzzles, it could have been awesome. Instead it's simply shallow. 15 minutes worth of puzzles, that's it.

And the "controversial nature" of the game is barely even that. There's the slightly disturbing intro and one macabre solution to a puzzle - that's pretty much it. What appeared to be an interesting premise turns out to be nothing more than window dressing.
