About This Game

Memories shape us. But when the mind breaks, who decides what’s worth remembering?

In The Things We Bury, you are a Memory Architect, diving into the fractured consciousness of a woman trapped in a coma. Her memories twist into surreal landscapes, symbolic enemies, and emotionally charged battles, and every choice you make shapes the person she remembers being.

This is a psychological deckbuilder where every card holds meaning, a memory, a regret, a part of who she was. Your decisions won’t just change the story. They’ll decide who she becomes.

FEATURES

An Emotional Story
Experience her life from childhood to adulthood, not as a passive observer, but as an active force shaping her identity. Each battle begins with a conversation between the patient and her therapist, grounding each memory in emotional truth.

Symbolic Deckbuilding Combat
Build your deck from fragments of memory, some comforting, some painful. Your cards aren’t just tools; they’re pieces of her story.

Meaningful Choice and Consequence
Every decision changes her path. Will you help her reclaim who she was… or guide her toward someone new?

Enemies as Emotions
Battle twisted manifestations of fear, joy, guilt, anger, and more, each one designed to reflect the memory you're reliving.

A Story That Shifts
No two playthroughs are the same. Memories reshape themselves. Priorities evolve. And each run builds toward a deeply personal ending.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game contains emotionally intense themes, including trauma, grief, and psychological distress. The game features brief, non-sexual nudity: during a memory transition, a flickering light briefly reveals a blurred side profile of a nude woman on a medical table. No genitalia or explicit detail is shown. The scene is symbolic and presented in a subdued, clinical context.
