Bury Me, My Love

This one is for players who like stories about people on hard journeys and don't mind spending a few evenings reading chats. There is no action gameplay here: you read messages, reply, and watch your choices change the heroine's fate. What you'll like: - For the first hours you scroll through a conversation, send photos, emoji and links, just like in a regular messenger, and slowly get pulled into someone else's life. - Your replies in the chat really move the plot: across 50 locations and 19 endings, you decide where Nur's road leads. - The story is based on real events and inspired by a journalist's article about a Syrian refugee, so its tone is honest and heavy. - It's a compact, focused game with nothing extra, a good pick if you want something unusual and emotional. You get a Steam activation key for the Global region, shown on the order page right after payment, and you can activate it directly in the Steam client.
