There's something disrespectful about historical games like the early Call of Duty titles, which placed players into real wars that real people fought and died in, exploiting those experiences by transforming them into mindless entertainment for the masses. Tackling this kind of heavy subject matter requires a degree of nuance that bleak loadscreen quotations or pressing F to pay respects don't even begin to provide.1979 Revolution: Black Friday doesn't share those problems. Created by Rockstar Games veteran and Iranian national Navid Khonsari, whose family escaped the turmoil the title aims to portray, the game tells the story of the Iranian Revolution of 1979, which lead to the deposition of the Shah of Iran and the end of the Pahlavi dynasty. The influence of this period in Iranian history cannot be understated, yet knowledge of this point in history remains woefully elusive to the American public consciousness.It's fitting, then, that the game starts out with so much exposition. This isn't a Call of Duty title looking to capitalize on history as a mere backdrop to action-heavy gameplay. The Telltale-esque title places players into a series of unfolding events as an Iranian photojournalist recently returned home from Germany. Early in the story, players will take a walk through a protest-crowded street, snapping pictures and listening to their companion expound on the issues facing Iran leading up to the 1979 revolution. Westernization, income inequality, government censorship - the developers are clearly aware of their audience's unfamiliarity with the setting and do a fantastic job of the setting the stage for the players.It all comes naturally; your character, after all, has been out of the country for awhile, so it stands to reason that he might need to be caught up on current events. After snapping a photo, players are presented with a quick blurb of information and given the option to learn more, leading them to small snippets of Iran's history in the game's journal.Fortunately, unlike many titles tackling heavy subject matter, 1979 Revolution is at least somewhat able to stand on its own as an entertaining game. It's informative without being preachy, and engages players with choice and consequence and quick-time event systems Telltale Games or Life is Strange veterans will find immediately familiar.1979 Revolution is best described as a political thriller, and it isn't long until your jaunt down exposition lane is interrupted by the proverbial♥♥♥♥♥♥hitting the fan. It's a character driven story, showing Iranian nationals with a variety of different political and religious views reacting as their country is turned upside down. The voice acting is crucially well executed, thanks to a cadre of veteran film actors. Almost everyone involved with the project has a prior work that I've seen or am at least familiar with; I recognized the voice of Mozhan Marnò from The Blacklist, House of Cards, and A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night immediately.The game is an indie title though, and you can tell that the funds for its actors may have been diverted from other areas of its limited budget. The art assets in particular leave a bit to be desired; it will quickly become apparent that character models and animations are being reused for the game's extras. In a game like this though, pursuing flawless writing and voice acting for its characters ultimately should trump almost everything else.1979 Revolution does end a bit abruptly. It's not as bad as say, The Banner Saga, but I was expecting the narrative to go on for an additional chapter, or maybe for it to show a bit more of the revolution's aftermath. It's not a bad ending per se, but it does sort of build and build and then just end in the middle of its own climax.Overall, the game succeeds in bringing a historically accurate, better understanding of the titular revolution to those who play it. It's not a deep look and it doesn't get too bogged down in historical details, instead focusing broadly on the people of Iran as they lived through this formative moment in their nation's history. 1979 Revolution is worth checking out on that basis alone if you're interested in experiencing a sample of pre-revolution Iran and how it evolved to become the nation we have today.If you're not interested in that, I'd find the the title harder to recommend. This is a game of ideas, and it follows that the title is inextricably linked to the message it wants its players to receive. Standing on its own, its narrative isn't as satisfying as a Telltale Game and its gameplay doesn't touch Life is Strange, but if you're generally interested in experiencing a bit of history, that can make the title shine.1979 Revolution: Black Friday is a short game at just over two hours of total playtime, and is available on Steam for a full price of $12. I'll leave the value judgment up to you.. It's really short, but very well done. The game is well written and the characters feel real and the voice acting is excellent. The gameplay consists of walking around using WASD and taking pictures with your camera and interacting with objects and people. QTEs are also thrown in there for the relatively action oriented sections.Because of the length, sometimes the story might feel a little rushed and it seems like the characters could have used a little more development.As pointed out by other reviewers, the choices presented to you do not really matter THAT much. Some things might play out differently, albeit leading to the same conclusion.Overall, it's a decent game, however it's really short. Can be finished within 2 hours. Considering this, it truly deserves a sequel, or at least another episode.. 1979 Revolution: Black Friday is an adventure point and click game developed and published by iNKstories, releasing on PC, PS3, 360 and iOS in April 2016. The game focuses on the Iranian Revolution, from 1979 that led to the overthrow of the dictatorial regime of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi in Iran. The game play is your run of the mill point and click adventure game, but resembles more of a Telltale style environment, where timed dialog choices are prominent throughout the story, as well as quick time events. Thankfully the QTEs are few and far between, allowing you chance to sit back and relax the main element of this game, the gripping story. The most important feature of a point and click game is obviously going to be the plot, 1979 Revolution ticks all of the right boxes there. Following a historical timeline of events with slight blurred lines between reality and what you see in the game, we follow Reza and his good friend Babek as they look to exploit the terrorist regime in Iran to start a revolution. You meet important characters along the way and you will develop relationships with them depending on actions and dialog choices throughout. The story takes you through dips, turns and dramatic outcomes, and potentially leaves the plot open for a sequel. I thoroughly enjoyed the story of this game, not only is it an interesting plot, but it teaches you something, which is always an added bonus when it comes to video games. Graphically this game looks decent, nothing spectacular, but there are hundreds of worse looking titles out there. It looks like an early GTA title in terms of textures, animations and work environments. Still pleasant to look at, but don’t expect state of the art graphics and clean cut visuals here. The voice acting on the other hand is brilliant, all characters are well voiced and fit their character’s perfectly. This game would not be what it is today without this top notch voice acting. I can’t imagine I would of enjoyed it nearly as much if it was text based. There isn’t any difficulty to 1979, The only time you will fail at any point is if you miss a QTE, and then you can simply replay it and pay more attention! While the game does have different choices to take throughout the plot, the ultimate ending will near enough be the same regardless, which is a bit of a shame as I always like it when games clearly make your choices matter. It is also worth noting that this game is very short. The story is spread out across 18 chapters, but this still only took me under an hour to complete. You will find a bit of replayability though due to the different paths you may follow, as well as tons of collectibles and achievements to hunt for as well. For me though, I’m only going to want to play through it once. Overall, 1979 is a really good adventure game, but the only thing that lets it down is the lack of content that gives this game any longevity. If the story could be expanded or lead onto maybe an Episode 2, then it would be well worth the £8.99 but purely because it is so short, I can only recommend 1979 Revolution: Black Friday when it is on sale.

Mang, What can i say about this game? !!OTHER THAN IT'S ABOUT 2 HRS LONG!!Want numbers out of /10? scroll down.You're a photographer that is in an Iranian jail cell being interigated. Being forced to tell your tale through whatever means neccessary. Be warned, you can die during interigation. It would be better if you tell him what he wants to hear. This isn't Merica.Pro's-Historical events links with pictures + Captures a bit of emotional stress-Story flows better than expected-Action scenes-Graphics ain't bad. again, looks like a telltale game.-Sound is great as well. Voice actors did amazing-After main chapters, it will cause you to have a discussion on certain beliefs or issues with friends and family around the table.Con's-Not a telltale game. Not enough details involved to make it a complete story. <- Main issue for me-If it was more drawn out and more time was dedicated towards telling the story + dialog, it would have been an amazing story. SO, needs to be longer. <- Main issue for me-Not enough Feels.-Short chapters that didn't need to be solo chapters at all.It's nice to see someone take a stab at the whole telltale way of making games. However someone does this, you can see the differences between them. As well as when they try not to be like telltale.-Lack of depth.-Controls were bothersome at times.-Trying to cram everything into 1 game rather than an episode like release.Things like those above. You'll notice them from time to time, but for a short moment. Luckily the game has a little more to offer than being a copy cat and will bring you right into the story, asking you for more when you get to the end.Visual: 8/10 - good work!Gameplay:6/10 - needs polishStory: 7/10 -needs moreReplay value: Some to little.Having a country label you as a spy for making the game: bonus pointsOverall: 7/10. It's a good game. The gameplay feels very much like a slowed down Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy. Of course, not comparable with Fahrenheit/IP since it was absolute epic, but 1979 is good too.For those which don't know the mentioned game: It's basically a interactive movie & adventure. You walk around with your character, search for items (mostly background information) and lead dialog (big part of the game). There are some quicktime sequences, but not very much or very difficult ones.+ Gameplay+ Many Choices+ Lot of dialog+ Interesting setting & background (Iranian revolution 1979)+ PriceI recomment 1979, but there are also some negatives:Even with lot of choices, the outcome is not that different. Your choice only influence the situation very slightly, which is especially sad because there is so much potential for alternate outcomes. The background information is nice, especially to have a insight in iranian culture. But they are not neutral. The game let you basically only support the non-violent left. Communism is not particulary shown as bad, only the violent revolution is condemned. The Shah is the absolute evil in person and responsible for everything bad. The radical shias is just a shadowy menace in the background. Other political views are not welcome. Bad. The 1979 Revolution was very complex and interesting. This games let it look like an SJW uprising against evil.- Graphic is okay, but nothing more- Choices have not enought influence- politically one-sided / pro-socialist-pro-democratic - So many info objects to find, if you looking 100%, you may need to play though the game 5x in order to get them all- only 2.5-4 h playtime to finish it onceGet it, it's interesting and fun, but don't except too much.. While this... interactive experience does a good job placing a small part of the Iranian Revolution on display in an engaging and educational way, it ultimately feels like I got an incomplete product.Spoiler : The story never even actually gets to the actual 1979 Revolution, and ends rather abruptly, with nearly none of the ongoing plotlines resolved.My question is: Where's the rest of it?. To be honest, I'm quite surprised by this game and the almost unbiased picture it tries to paint; a picture of a part of history that seems to be almost lost within the fog of time - one that is not only crucial to fathom parts of the modern past of the middle-east, but of the whole world back then... and now. You'll see the events of the Iranian revolution unfold through the eyes of aspiring photographer Reza Shirazi, who just returned to Iran, amidst the growing chaos and confusion in which he'll have to find his place and finally put his convictions into action. You do so mainly by interacting with the environment, NPC's and in particular by taking pictures with a camera Reza always carries with him and by which you'll be provided with additional information regarding the people of Iran and key players/events of that time. Despite its short playtime and thus limited information on some subjects, 1979 Revolution: Black Friday largely succeeds at storytelling and neither needs to hide itself from or even avoid its competitors - on the contrary, the weight of the subject matter and how they handled it is elevating videogames in general to a level where their relevance in today's society and how they have matured truly has to be recognized - but before I lose myself puffing it up too much, it unfortunately doesn't do that well in the gameplay department. Minor bugs and things like a sometimes too small and narrow window, in which you have to react and decide in which manner you want to handle situations presented to you, tend to pull you out of the otherwise great immersion this game creates and hinders one at reflecting over the moral ambiguity such conflicts often inherit. Nonetheless, 1979 Revolution: Black Friday is a game I can wholeheartedly recommend, not only to those particularly interested in the subject at hand, but to anyone that likes to question why the world spins like it does... and what better way is there to start while playing a videogame? If this game in the end fully accomplishes what it wants though, or fails due to the complexity of the topic, is nothing I wanna judge over and since there's never an easy answer, no simple black or white, I wanna end on a quote that buzzed through my head while playing this truly unique presentation of these somehow almost seemingly forgotten historical events:"Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship." - George Orwell. I’m very torn with this game. On the one hand it is reasonably well told and has a unique setting that makes the game appealing. On the other it left me disappointed due to it’s fairly short length. When I reached the end I was just thinking, “That can’t be it, is this just Episode 1 or something and it does credits at the end of each like Telltale games???” But … no … that was it, it just ends very abruptly. The length clearly affected other things as well. None of the characters (except the main character) get much screen time so there isn’t much character development. Also there just isn’t time for your choices to feel like they had any far-reaching affects. The visuals are nice to look at, though there are some mistakes (such as when I saw a man walk through a newspaper machine). As for gameplay, don’t expect anything more than what you normally get in games like these (think the amount of gameplay in a Telltale game i.e. minimal). So I guess my recommendation is a very shaky yes, but only if the devs plan on continuing the story.. Bought this game since we're in a hot political climate right now and before Abu Ivanka al Amreeki decimates majoosi Iran. Absolutely hated it. Why did I waste $6 on this crap game? Could've ordered Oreo McFlurry from McDonald's with it.The story would've been interesting if it wasn't biased, liberalism\/socialism\/democuckracy is the magical answer to every problem a state faces, characters are unlikable, choices are literally pointless and the ending is not an ending. The developers seem to have forgotten about this game too which makes it worse. It's a biased game with a hidden agenda that will mislead people who know nothing of the revolution.. A groundbreaking way to immerse the player in history.The game pummels you with a series of heart wrenching twists and turns on an emotional rollercoaster, but, to an extent, you have a feeling of agency, choice, that you would not get with a movie. I would love to see this applied to the Iran-Iraq war, the fall of the Berlin wall, Vichy France, Mao's China, Tienanmen Square, the Viet Nam and Iraq wars, the French Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolution, the Great Depression, the US CIvil war, Roman occupied Judea, and so much more!The game puts you in the role of a photographer, that seemingly neutral arbiter of truth, and yet it shows not only the events outside the frame, but just how imbued with personal feelings photography is. The game has a passable 3D world that you can navigate in line with the story, and voice actors speaking a mix of Farsi and English. The sound effects and ambient sounds are immersive. There are "Dragon's Lair" style action sequences that I loved, other mini games that I liked - such as bandaging a wound, and button mashing minigames that I felt could have been done better. The white diamonds that help you hone in on the action quickly are perfectly done. The home movies and photographs are a splendid touch.There is some replayability in trying to explore other paths the player can take, finding all the historical points of interest, as well as acheivements and cards. 1979 is true to the medium of PC games, and not just a documentary masquerading as a game; it is a game, and a good one.This is a must play for anyone with a connection to Iran, or an interest in geopolitics and modern history. The game was even handed with the various political factions involved in the Revolution, leaving the player with an understanding of the motivations, without trying to favor any particular creed.The game is priced at the price of a movie ticket, and about as long for the first playthorugh: fair.
