From Curly Fries to Hijab: A Tale of Two Worlds
Who knew becoming a Muslim meant I had to trade in my play-doh for prayer beads?
In this interactive text-based game, you take on the role of Lila, a 10-year-old orphan navigating her new life after being adopted by a warm and welcoming Arab American Muslim family. Adjusting to new customs, school dynamics, and cultural expectations, Lila faces both the challenges and joys of her new identity. Players will encounter scenarios that blend her previous life with her new one, all while dealing with the ridicule of her peers and the warmth of her new family. The choices you make will impact Lila's self-acceptance and her assimilation journey, ultimately leading her to forge a unique blend of two rich cultures. Will she embrace her new identity, or will societal pressures drown her true self?
