Gameplay Journal Entry #8

I played “Bury Me, My Love” as the game from the website that was offered. The message is showing the real life dangers of moving outside of Syria and how much of a gamble any decision you make can be. There is a clear sense of empathy from the game’s execution of making you message the NPC’s directly through a messenger app. The game itself acts as an accurate messenger app that lets you talk to your friends in the world they exhibit. Their message of having empathy for people regardless of their backgrounds is well executed because of the environmental situations they can’t do anything about being portrayed as an inevitable case makes you feel helpless an almost wishing you could do more or at least be more aware of these international issues. There is no other way of making it out than to gamble on your money and decisions to hopefully see better opportunities.
