Hijab & Heartstrings

Who knew wearing a hijab would come with a side of friendship and a flair for the dramatic?

In 'Hijab & Heartstrings', players embark on an emotional journey alongside a 10-year-old girl named Lily, a blue-eyed blonde who, after becoming an orphan, is adopted into a loving Arab Muslim family. The game allows players to navigate the complexities of her new life, exploring themes of identity, faith, and acceptance. Lily's experiences in her new family, her challenges and friendships at school, and her struggle to blend her past with her present provide a rich narrative. Players make choices that influence how Lily embraces her new identity, the friendships she forges with her Muslim peers, and her understanding of cultural diversity. Will she find strength in her new community, or will the pressures around her pull her in different directions?
