Read Cindy Kyser’s January 28, 2018 review of the iOS/Android version (which she awarded an A)

Released on iOS and Android to great acclaim in October 2017, Bury me, my Love is now available on Windows (Steam) and Nintendo Switch.

Bury me, my Love is an interactive fiction experience that tells the story of a refugee fleeing Syria in hopes of finding safety in Europe. The narrative plays out via a messaging app from the perspective of the refugee’s husband, who must stay behind.

Game designer Florent Maurin: The reaction to the original launch from Bury me, my Love was really overwhelming. Besides recognition from industry organisations like BAFTA and IGF we received really touching messages from players. I think that clearly shows there is an appetite for games that explore serious current events and we are excited to bring the game to even more players. Hopefully, we can show them the human side of the Syrian conflict they might not have seen before.

Bury me, my Love is co-developed by French independent studios The Pixel Hunt and Figs, co-produced with ARTE France and published by Playdius. For more info, visit the game’s website.

I've been with JA in one capacity or other since 2003. I'm currently website administrator. I'm also a digital artist (my avatar is one of my creations). I write reviews and articles, create graphics and basically help tend the site. It's work I enjoy very much. I love playing games of all kinds, but adventure and RPGs are my favorites (particularly scary/dark/unsettling ones). At the top of my list are The Cat Lady, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Still Life (first one only), Scratches and Culpa Innata. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool recluse and prefer the company of animals, hardware and ghosts to human beings (no offense). And no bio would be complete without my saying that I do NOT care for phones of ANY sort. Further, I think Dell computers are garbage and that Microsoft has become megalomaniacal.
