About Bury me, my Love
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.

Dark topic brought to a human level
I really enjoyed this game and its creativity narrating, a horrible and tragic story in a very human way. In the midst of political discussions about illegal migration we sometimes neglect that these are real, palpable experiences of human beings, and no matter what, we should all make an effort to never dehumanize.

(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.
