While the family are having dinner, you can go up to emily's door when she's not in and knock.
"Go away!"
Then she arrives!
Thanks for the reports! Will sort those in my next bugfix update.
Well done! Very atmospheric, with an engaging story. Approachable for a parser game, doubly so with the walkthrough.
So glad you enjoyed it! :)
