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.
