Features & Capabilities

One of the scariest horror games on the app store, Emily Wants to Play is the official free mobile version. It places you at a haunted house on a stormy night: you’ve delivered a pizza, the door locks behind you, and you must survive as the house comes alive with Emily and three roaming dolls.

Explore freely, figure out how to stay alive when confronted by the dolls, and unravel the mystery to escape. The game intensifies with a power outage during a raging storm and a chilling, suspenseful atmosphere.

User Reviews

Reviewers praise the game for its scary atmosphere, nostalgic charm, and engaging progression, but common drawbacks include fragile mobile controls, glitches, lighting issues, and balance problems in late hours. The title is highly appealing to horror fans, yet stability and control responsiveness on mobile can hinder a smooth run.

Pros

Strong scary and tense horror atmosphere that keeps players on edge.
Nostalgic retro feel that still holds up for an older title.
Engaging progression with increasing difficulty and puzzle elements like the hidden basement and Emily timer.
Fun to share the experience with friends or family (played with a brother).

Cons

Mobile controls can be finicky, making it hard to interact with doors and objects.
Occurrences of glitches (e.g., Chester following you) disrupt gameplay.
Lights frequently go out or don’t work, reducing visibility and tension.
Late-game difficulty can be frustrating or near-impossible, impacting replayability.
Some reviewers find early nights repetitive and the pacing slows down the fun.

Ok I love this… but… I usually get scared out of my mind and even scream. Like, at the top of my lungs. So, I mean, that's not a bad thing, because that’s kinda the whole point, but… just saying. Ok, so this game is straight up terrifying. I pretty much just camp out in the corner. Rarely do I get up and ACTUALLY move around. But I have been jump scared, like, a thousand times. So ummmm, ya. Imma get to the point. There’s a small issue. When the door closest to the entrance opens, and I go into the room, I immediately get caught. I go into the bedroom, and I just get caught. And then when I continue, I try to go to the kitchen, but the door doesn’t open. So then, I pretty much have no choice but to go into the hallway, which leads to the bedroom, which leads to death. So yeah. Those are the only things. And the dolls pretty much just stop you, like the entire time. They’re constantly right behind you, or in front of you. And at some point, you are going to get caught. You just are. And I don’t really survive for long. I don't know how others are on the last hour. Like, huh? I mean, I find the game pretty fun, but difficult. I would also like to have only a like, 1 or 2 dolls. I mean, I can barely handle one. And I pretty much can’t handle 2. So just wanted to let you know. Also, I would like an online version to help survive. When you have buddies, it may be easier to survive. ALSO, SERIOUSLY BIG PART! I AM AT 4:00 O'CLOCK, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AFTER THE TIMER WHEN EMILY COMES! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHILE THE TIMER IS GOING! PLEASE HELP ME! Thanks! Have a great day/night!
