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.

Things I don’t likeI haven’t finished the game, but I’ve encountered something I don’t like so far. I totally understand I have no control over what Nour does on the other side of the phone, but I do think I should have more control over what Majd does, because I’m playing his role. If the designer want me to feel like I’m Majd, but doesn’t give me autonomous, instead, only give me the ability to see what happens through his eye without the ability to change anything. In my opinion, this is not good game design, even it can be good story design. I’ll never truly put myself in Majd’s shoes if I’m not allowed to make all important decisions as Majd. So the scene makes me feel this way is when Nour wakes up late and is missing her plane. I wish I had the choice to call her..Version: 1.4
Buggy implement, railroaded storyThis game is interesting in concept and well written to some extent, but it ended up railroading me into a ending that I thought I had been carefully avoiding with every choice I 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 implement—iOS has built in support for scrolling views after all—but it’s 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 there’s no way to read the story that came before..Version: 1.6
A slow burn, but ultimately well worth it.I’ve played similar games that simulate a chat interface and work in real time, but this game impressed me. 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 you’re more interested in flying through, but the story is better told in small chunks. It’s hard not to sympathize with Nour and the plight of many like her. I felt like I understood the situation of many refugees a little better after playing this game..Version: 1.3
AmazingThis game is amazing you get to go through a journey that feels so real, like half the time i had like MAJOR anxiety when she wouldn’t answer me and I’m actually waiting for her to text me back right now and I love how you actually have to put your phone down and continue with life until she actually texts you back and I think the waiting factor is really cool because it gives you something to think about and you don’t get an answer right on the spot. But I also love how you get to through this journey with Nour and be there for her throughout her long journey and I just really love this game☺️😊😆☀️❤️.Version: 1.6
Worth revisiting with a new formatI 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. I cared less and less when the main character checked-in via text, and when I reached one ending, I didn’t think the game had enough replay value to try again. For the price it’s worth it merely for the great scripting, but the game did not hold my interest..Version: 1.4
Glitchy and no longer opensI’ve been playing and enjoying this interactive novel but suddenly I can no longer start it up. It immediately crashes. I’m on iOS 14.2 on a XS Max. Things were going okay and now it just refuses to open. Before this I 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 it’s a lovely and important story many need to hear..Version: 1.7
(Almost) there! Literally so close… 😞🤧This game is an extremely slow burner. If you go along with the actual days that it makes you wait. I found out online that there are 19 possible different endings and I don’t have the energy to do so but the ending that I got wasn’t satisfactory you play for a long time and it kinda just like sizzles out like a sparkler it’s not really worth the hype. I don’t think unless you get a good ending I guess I just didn’t but I tried my best and things were just not as awesome as I thought the ending would be..Version: 1.8
Pretty interestingFun to type with your bae. Super cool that the chat goes in real time. And for those who don’t like that, can just turn it off. Story takes a while to take off, but I like chatting with Nour, because he/she feels so lifelike! But I do get pretty annoyed at the lack of options sometimes. I’ll wind up sending an emoji even though I hate those things just because I want more variety in what I say. A lot of it leads down the same path too. You do make big choices, but the big choices are rare. I understand its based off a real life conversation, but I don’t want my 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 you’ve made you can have completely missed scenes or unlock totally new ones that others didn’t experience. The game does do this, but seldom. Still had fun playing..Version: 1.5
Educational and suspensefulThis game helped me understand and sympathize with Syrian refugees in a way that a regular essay couldn't have conveyed. Since I played over the course of two weeks, I got attached to Nour and I was sad when the game ended. I have no personal experience with refugees, but Nour's choices seem realistic and she has to make lots of risky decisions. I love the fact that there are multiple endings... but I'm not sure if I have the emotional strength to play again! Great job..Version: 1.4
PowerfulI feel like I’m 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. I worry that I will make a wrong choice and Nour will be captured, killed, or far worse. For all those times I though, “I can’t imagine what they’re going through,” now, I can..Version: 1.3
It's a great game!It's a great game overall but I got an ending and the audio won't play. The music pauses but the audio still won't play. I tried going to the map to see if it said anything but all it does is crash. So yeah... that's all I have to say.( Edit: thanks for the link to the website! The audio seems to be working normally as well).Version: 1.6
Great text story but glitchyIt’s a nice story but kinda glitchy. Sometimes it won’t let me listen to voice recordings and it spasms every time I try to scroll through past conversations. Please update these glitches!!! I want to be able to play this game smoothly 🥺 also I would like to have a history of all the endings I’ve gotten so far, I think it would be cool..Version: 1.6
Good, but....Game has a really good story line, but when I get to the end with the audio message, the game just automatically says “the end” and I’m not able to listen to it :(.Version: 1.6
Love this story SO much!I love the story and how your decision actually effects the story and how beautiful the journey and everything is! I mean this must’ve taken AGES to create and it shows how much quality was put into. it all in all I wouldn’t change a thing.Version: 1.6
Great game but with a serious bugHave loved this game for years. Recently the game crashes when you click on city names on the map. Thanks for making this game!.Version: 1.6
So FantasticI got this game after hearing from gloom about it. I got it to see if it was really as good as it sounded and I couldn’t believe how good it is! This game definitely deserves 5 Stars..Version: 1.6
I got too investedMy only problem with the game is that I’m not able to tell my wife I love her every time she has to stop talking to me for a bit..Version: 1.6
Eye opening experienceReally made me think about the struggle that so many go through..Version: 1.3
Awesome GameA very fun and a very moving game. If you’re impatient like me then you can play in fast mode, but if you want to soak it in you can play real time..Version: 1.5
Loooove it!!!!For an impatient person like me, I love how the story is in real time so it feels like you’re actually texting- one sec Nour just texted!.Version: 1.6

Immersive and captivatingImmersive captivating experience so far. Keeps me waiting for the next update.Version: 1.0
Story progress lost on app updateWell, my love won’t be buried. She’s been lost to the ether. After months of casual play, I guess there was an update to the app, and my story progress has been reset to zero..Version: 1.5
Watching texting isn’t very entertaining.I bought this based on positive review in Verge. I’ve spent most of the time watching texts fly by with only occasional interaction. Not very enjoyable..Version: 1.2
Amazing journeyVery good story. Don’t cheat yourself, play it in real time. It adds to the experience..Version: 1.3

Yes10/10.Version: 1.6
3.5⭐️: Would be 5⭐️ if it wasn’t so tedious to change Nour’s fate!I 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 we’ve already seen it in a previous game. I’m in the middle of my 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 you’ve played previously take away from the experience, but it really doesn’t. We already know what’s going to be said, and it’s frustrating to have to wait to get to the important decision making. It’s like playing a video game you’ve played before and not being able to skip through long, tedious cutscenes. I think that once a player goes through a scenario, those texts that have played before with no choices should be skippable. I 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 Nour’s fate. Making it more like a puzzle we have to solve for an outcome we want is more fun than sitting through a story we’ve seen before. Until there are some changes made, this will be my last play-through. It’s just too tedious. This is a great game that needs some fine-tuning..Version: 1.6
Hope it's good! :))I came here from Gloom on YouTube and the app looks really fun! Excited to try it out.Version: 1.5

I'd give it six stars if I couldI got drawn to the story and immediately cared for the characters. i wish this was only in the game though. Unfortunately its happening in real life.Version: 1.4
