Evaluation
Bury Me, My Love is a narrative text-messaging adventure game that released on January 10, 2019. The store description presents the game as a complete, self-contained experience — a single story with 50 locations and 19 possible endings. There is no mention of DLC, expansions, seasons, or any post-launch content plans. No DLC has ever been listed for this title.
The developer's news history (8 posts total) contains no announcements of new content, no roadmaps, and no developer statements about future updates. The one substantive post, from October 19, 2023, is a promotional sale announcement from publisher ARTE celebrating its 10-year video game anniversary — it does not reference any new content specifically for this game. While it includes a vague "stay tuned for all the big things to come," this appears to be a general publisher statement about their broader catalogue, not a specific commitment for Bury Me, My Love.
The game launched as a finished, story-driven product with no post-launch update pattern ever established. It was designed and delivered as a complete narrative experience, and all available evidence confirms it has remained exactly that since launch.

About this game
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.
This experience may affect the sensitivity of younger people.
