Description

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.

***A game in an instant messaging app
As Majd, you can communicate with Nour and follow her journey, just as if you were chatting with her via WhatsApp. You will text each other and exchange emojis, pics and selfies, relevant links…

*** Multiple narrative routes to discover
By reading instant messages and choosing response options, players help Nour overcome the hardships she will encounter.
Your choices in Bury me, my Love truly impact on the story, with Nour able to visit 50 different locations and reach 19 potential different endings with widely divergent outcomes.

*** Based on real-life events
Bury me, my Love is a “reality-inspired game”, a documented fiction that draws inspiration directly from real-world events. The original idea stems from an article written by Le Monde journalist, Lucie Soullier, telling the story of Dana, a young Syrian woman who fled her country and is now living in Germany.

Winner of the best meaningful play – 14TH IMGA

Crash fix

Bury me, my Love Reviews

We’ve been playing and enjoying this interactive novel but suddenly we can no longer start it up. It immediately crashes. Im on iOS 14.2 on a XS Max. Things were going okay and now it just refuses to open. Before this we noticed a ton of crashes when using the map feature, and sometimes the text messages would get jittery, weirdly space out, or go missing altogether. The real time functionality is inconsistent too, as are the notifications. This really needs to get sorted out because its a lovely and important story many need to hear.


It’s a great game overall but we got an ending and the audio won’t play. The music pauses but the audio still won’t play. We tried going to the map to see if it said anything but all it does is crash. So yeah… That’s all we have to say.( Edit: thanks for the link to the website! The audio seems to be working normally as well)


This game is amazing you get to go through a journey that feels so real, like half the time we had like MAJOR anxiety when she wouldnt answer us and Im actually waiting for her to text us back right now and we love how you actually have to put your phone down and continue with life until she actually texts you back and we think the waiting factor is really cool because it gives you something to think about and you dont get an answer right on the spot. But we also love how you get to through this journey with Nour and be there for her throughout her long journey and we just really love this game.


We love the story and how your decision actually effects the story and how beautiful the journey and everything is! We mean this mustve taken AGES to create and it shows how much quality was put into. It all in all we wouldnt change a thing.


For an impatient person like us, we love how the story is in real time so it feels like youre actually texting- one sec Nour just texted!


This game is amazing, just like we thought it would be.


Have loved this game for years. Recently the game crashes when you click on city names on the map. Thanks for making this game!


Our only problem with the game is that Im not able to tell our wife we love her every time she has to stop talking to us for a bit.


We got this game after hearing from gloom about it. We got it to see if it was really as good as it sounded and we couldnt believe how good it is! This game definitely deserves 5 Stars.


We should start of by saying that the game itself is 5. The game has an incredible social message and you feel connected to Nour and Madj throughout the game. However, there should be an option when replaying a scenario that you have already played to rewind and choose the outcome from there. There should be checkpoints you should be able to revisit to change her fate. We should also be able to skip text once weve already seen it in a previous game. Im in the middle of our third replay, and it becomes incredibly tedious to replay all these text exchanges. The developers might feel like giving the option to skip through texts youve played previously take away from the experience, but it really doesnt. We already know whats going to be said, and its frustrating to have to wait to get to the important decision making. Its like playing a video game youve played before and not being able to skip through long, tedious cutscenes. We think that once a player goes through a scenario, those texts that have played before with no choices should be skippable. We also think that decisions should be checkpoints, so to speak, that we can revisit at the end of a game if we wish to change Nours fate. Making it more like a puzzle we have to solve for an outcome we want is more fun than sitting through a story weve seen before. Until there are some changes made, this will be our last play-through. Its just too tedious. This is a great game that needs some fine-tuning.


Game has a really good story line, but when we get to the end with the audio message, the game just automatically says the end and Im not able to listen to it :(


This game is interesting in concept and well written to some extent, but it ended up railroading us into a ending that we thought we had been carefully avoiding with every choice we had made. The end result was an unsatisfying story that made no sense narratively. At a technical level, this game presents itself as a simple text message interface which should be the easiest thing in the world for a game to implementiOS has built in support for scrolling views after allbut its completely broken: attempting to scroll back to read what happened previously jitters and jumps around, text is drawn stacked on top of other text making it impossible to read, there are huge gaps between text bubbles requiring you to scroll multiple screen lengths, sometimes it is solid black, etc. The game is basically playable but theres no way to read the story that came before.


Its a nice story but kinda glitchy. Sometimes it wont let us listen to voice recordings and it spasms every time we try to scroll through past conversations. Please update these glitches!!! We want to be able to play this game smoothly also we would like to have a history of all the endings we’ve gotten so far, we think it would be cool.


We liked this game and the story but our end recording wont play.


We enjoyed the game and found the story compelling. Unfortunately when we reached an ending the game glitched and we wasnt able to know what happened. It was a very disappointing considering the time we put in. Cant recommend playing the game while this glitch exists. Would do another play though if fixed.


We could have enjoyed this app if it werent for the glitches. If we tried to go back and read texts from previous days the screen would shake and flicker and glitch out and we could only read the last few texts from that day. Horrible bug that made our head hurt and super disappointing because we couldnt refresh our memory on what happened since we were last on.


Nothing about this game was worth a dime. Shouldve been free. All Im doing is reading messages and clicking on responses that we dont even prefer, but have no other choice. The most boring game ever. Didnt have a hint of brain stimulation. Its just like eavesdropping on strangers conversation. All youre doing is listening to them talk. Waste of time and money!


It wont even let us into the app.


Spent hours playing this game, only for the audio that we think is supposed to reveal the ending doesnt work! (Yes, we have our audio settings on.) Disappointed as this was an interesting game with a lot of potential, but we want to know how the story ends, and Im not going to chance playing it again to see if it works differently the next time.


The game will not even open for us, itll start to load and then the app will close out without even getting to the start screen.


Wasnt able to hear the ending, recording wouldnt play.


This game is so good. Believable characters and dialogue, and just an eye-opening story. We can’t recommend it highly enough.


A very fun and a very moving game. If youre impatient like us then you can play in fast mode, but if you want to soak it in you can play real time.


We came here from Gloom on YouTube and the app looks really fun! Excited to try it out.


Well, our love wont be buried. Shes been lost to the ether. After months of casual play, we guess there was an update to the app, and our story progress has been reset to zero.


Fun to type with your bae. Super cool that the chat goes in real time. And for those who dont like that, can just turn it off. Story takes a while to take off, but we like chatting with Nour, because he/she feels so lifelike! But we do get pretty annoyed at the lack of options sometimes. Ill wind up sending an emoji even though we hate those things just because we want more variety in what we say. A lot of it leads down the same path too. You do make big choices, but the big choices are rare. We understand its based off a real life conversation, but we dont want our fate to be set in stone from the get-go. The beauty of these types of games, is you make your way to the end, and depending on the choices youve made you can have completely missed scenes or unlock totally new ones that others didnt experience. The game does do this, but seldom. Still had fun playing.


This game helped us understand and sympathize with Syrian refugees in a way that a regular essay couldn’t have conveyed. Since we played over the course of two weeks, we got attached to Nour and we were sad when the game ended. We have no personal experience with refugees, but Nour’s choices seem realistic and she has to make lots of risky decisions. We love the fact that there are multiple endings… But we’re not sure if we have the emotional strength to play again! Great job.


We havent finished the game, but we’ve encountered something we dont like so far. We totally understand we have no control over what Nour does on the other side of the phone, but we do think we should have more control over what Majd does, because Im playing his role. If the designer want us to feel like Im Majd, but doesnt give us autonomous, instead, only give us the ability to see what happens through his eye without the ability to change anything. In our opinion, this is not good game design, even it can be good story design. Ill never truly put myself in Majds shoes if Im not allowed to make all important decisions as Majd. So the scene makes us feel this way is when Nour wakes up late and is missing her plane. We wish we had the choice to call her.


We really wanted to love this game for its smart dialogue, multimedia use, and relevancy to real-world scenarios that expand cultural knowledge. While all those things were amazing, polished, and well-executed, the fact is that the text-interface rendered the game lifeless and tedious. In-game choices could be as vapid as choosing which emoji to send, and the consequences for your choices were almost random. We cared less and less when the main character checked-in via text, and when we reached one ending, we didnt think the game had enough replay value to try again. For the price its worth it merely for the great scripting, but the game did not hold our interest.


Very good story. Dont cheat yourself, play it in real time. It adds to the experience.


We’ve played similar games that simulate a chat interface and work in real time, but this game impressed us. The choices you make actually matter and appear to change the path Nour takes as she attempts to travel into Europe. The game generally checks in a few times a day and never felt annoying. You can switch it to real time if youre more interested in flying through, but the story is better told in small chunks. Its hard not to sympathize with Nour and the plight of many like her. We felt like we understood the situation of many refugees a little better after playing this game.


Really made us think about the struggle that so many go through.


We feel like Im right there with Majd and Nour. It is very tense, knowing that Nour is in a terribly frightening situation that is replicating the experience of thousands of Syrians at this time. We worry that we will make a wrong choice and Nour will be captured, killed, or far worse. For all those times we though, we cant imagine what theyre going through, now, we can.


We love feeling like such a part of this story. The UI is very simple but the story is rich.


We bought this based on positive review in Verge. We’ve spent most of the time watching texts fly by with only occasional interaction. Not very enjoyable.


Immersive captivating experience so far. Keeps us waiting for the next update.
