Bury Me, My Love
a game for phones that looks like whatsapp in which you play as a guy whose wife tries to immigrate to Europe from Syria. So far my wife is on Turkey-Bulgarian border You exchange texts, give her advices, hear her grievances and so on. It is quite railroady in the sense that a lot of the convo is actually more of a movie in which you don't pick any answers, but there are choices both totally insignificant (write "good night" or send a kissing emoji) and significant (tell your wife to try to sneak and hide in a bus she was denied boarding to or tell her that it is dangerous and she should find another way).
Interesting thing is that it has "real" message settings as an option in which the game tries to, to a point, simulate time. So you have an exchange of texts, then she goes busy/offline, you switch off/minimalise the game because you cannot do anything. Then, after 3 hours or so, you have a pop-up on your phone with her going: "crap crap crap crap!" or something like that. Feels a bit like Tamagotchi, to be honest.
