About

Emit (エミット, Emitto) is an adventure sound novel video game developed and published by Koei. It was designed to teach Japanese students more about English, and played the audio CD back at particular times using a peripheral called Voicer-kun, an IR emitter that could command the CD to change tracks and play them. It is the first visual novel in the "English Dream" series, the only other being an unconnected novel named Dark Hunter.

The game was originally released in 1994 and divided into 3 volumes: Lost in Time (時の迷子, Toki no maigo), Desperate Journey (命がけの旅, Inochigake no tabi) and Farewell to Me (私にさよならを, Watashi ni sayonara o). The scenario writing for all 3 volumes was done by Akagawa Jirou. The plot is about another world connected to ours where people age in reverse.
