The central relationship is strong, but the husband (your character) is a bit too naïve regarding the surrounding circumstances which ultimately affects the depth of the central relationship. These moments are meant to provide a basic level of education about the Syrian civil war and the Europe's refusal to help migrants and refugees and, while I think they do succeed at that, it prevents more genuine, tender moments from happening.
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.

It's a good game, but the Switch version is not the ideal way to play this. It crashed a lot and it also doesn't have the same effect. When you play this on a mobile device you have to wait real time for replies. On Switch the game just fast forwards when there's a passage of time.
Otherwise it was an engaging experience. Again, just get it on a different system, mobile if possible. It is better.

A text based choose your own adventure game told through the messages of a Syrian refugee traveling to Europe on hopes of a new life with the help of her Husband (the player). It has multiple endings and is a casual game that you can play a little at a time. Some of the themes can be sensative as it is influenced by real world events, but the game is worth checking out at least once.
