1979 Revolution: Black Friday reviews and comments

There's not much to say not to give too much away. This is a Game with a Background from the History of the 1979 Revolution in Iran. The Game is Divided into short Chapters where you make Decisions and they change the History of the Game. Historical Images and Audio Files underscore the whole Story. This Game is a Must for everyone if you are looking forward to a good Story. But you should be powerful in the English Language, because since it's an Indie game, this one only exists in English. Graphics is not Eye-watering now, but the sound and the Story make the Game a Game that you should absolutely treat yourself to, at least in the SALE. One should Bear in mind that the Story is only about 2 Hours. The Replay value is given, only if you were too slow for some Conversations in the first Run. Game gets from me an 8/10

One of the most interesting and emotional game-experiences to me so far. This "game" is based on true and savage history about the iranian revolution in 1979. You will be part of it, see many bestial sceneries, see real pictures from that time, read and hear real quotes from people who were involved, learn a lot about the topic and also about the iranian culture. You play a photographer that gets involved straight into the iranian revolution and become an important part of it. You will have to explore the different scenes, take photos, make many decisions within short time and there are also some quick-time events. Most important fact of this experience is to witness what happend in Iran back then, learn about its history and - as already said - about the iranian culture. I love this "game" and it really touched me. I advise you to make this unforgettable experience too. You won't regret it. love, himye

1979 Revolution Black Friday A very great and with traveling History, and a little Insight based on a true Story in the Time of the Revolution in Iran in 1979. It's more of a Story than a game and yes you can decide the End or the course Of the Game because of your Decisions. If you are looking for the classic click and point adventure Here, you are wrong. The Story is sad, especially sad for a Child of the Revolution like I am. Graphically, the Game is not an AAA Game, but it is enough to bring the Story and Content across sensibly. I have now paid 5 Euros for the Game and it would have been 20 Worth to me. Without giving too much away, I recommend it to anyone who wants to deal with the History and Conditions there! The small Switches of individual Words that are incorporated into Farsi (Persian Language) by the Speakers I thought great, you just get a piece of the Atmosphere and Culture and Expression of the Time with and who doesn't understand it can still explain it Read about it in the Subtitle (had activated the Subtitle all the time) Some Things you might not understand, or where you want more Info you can call directly ingame via the Info button or after the Game via Extras. For The sake of the Story alone and the extensive Sources of Information, I would buy the game again to support the Developer. The 5 Euros have definitely paid off.
