Emily: Is Away 3 Evelyn Compatibility Quiz

Emily is Away <3, the third installment in the nostalgic, choice-driven series by Kyle Seeley, throws you back into the chaotic world of early 2000s instant messaging. One of its most memorable — and anxiety-inducing — moments is the Evelyn Compatibility Quiz.

If you’re pursuing Evelyn’s route (or even if you’re just curious), this quiz feels like a high-stakes personality test. But is it actually a test of you — or a mirror for Evelyn?

You’re sitting at your desk, the blue glow of your CRT monitor washing over your face. Your Facebook tab is open. Evelyn Walcott has posted a link. emily is away 3 evelyn compatibility quiz

Unlike Emily, who was always the chaotic center of attention, Evelyn was different. She was the indie girl, the one who claimed she liked the band before they got famous, the one who left cryptic song lyrics in her "About Me" section. She was mystery wrapped in a cardigan.

The link she posted is for a "Compatibility Quiz." It’s one of those third-party Facebook apps that scrapes your data, but nobody cares about that yet. The caption reads: "...interesting. 84%. Who else is taking this?" Emily is Away &lt;3 , the third installment

Your heart does a stupid, childish flutter. You click the link.

The quiz is a clever red herring. The actual compatibility test happens in later conversations: Evelyn is a character who’s been let down before

Evelyn is a character who’s been let down before. The quiz is her way of saying, “Prove you’re different.” The percentage doesn’t matter. Your consistency does.

Evelyn will often send you weird, cryptic statuses. In Emily is Away 3, there is a hidden mechanic called "Profiling." When she says something odd, choose the option that asks a specific question rather than making a statement.
