DESCRIPTION:

Amidst the Syrian civil war, this short narrative adventure game follows a young girl, Nadia, who organizes a recital for her friend Bashir, a talented oud player, in their small town.

As Nadia, players must convince the local townsfolk to donate a chair from their apartment to construct a makeshift concert space in a small courtyard.

Chairs for Bashir explores the beauty that coexists against a backdrop of ruin and war in a country that is being torn apart by civil strife and tyrannical government forces, both domestic and foreign.
