Bury me, my Love tells the story of Syrian refugee Nour and her husband Majd, as Nour undertakes a perilous journey to safety in Europe. Bury me, my Love is a Text Messaging Adventure game about Nour, a Syrian migrant trying to find her way to Europe. Her husband Majd, who remains behind in Syria, communicates with Nour through a messaging app, advising her as best he can so that she reaches her destination safely. “Bury me, my love” is a Syrian goodbye phrase that roughly means, “Take care, don’t even think about dying before I do.” This phrase takes on a deeper meaning as Majd says it to his wife, Nour, as she undertakes her perilous journey to reach Europe. A co-production from ARTE, the European cultural network, with The Pixel Hunt and Figs.

Otherwise it was an engaging experience. Again, just get it on a different system, mobile if possible. It is better.
There's also something lost with the game's translation onto Switch. On mobile devices, the time spent between conversations is real world time which really adds to the tenseness and anxiety inducing nature of the narrative. On Switch, these conversation gaps are just a black screen with the date and time of day quickly progressing. But even if the Switch is your only platform to check this out on, I'd still really recommend playing through it.
