Capturing history without getting captured

UPDATE: No revolution is complete without the proper music. Get out your loudspeaker and get ready to join the 1979 uprising listening to the <span class="bold">Black Friday soundtrack</span>, containing 21 tracks both contained in and inspired from the game.

<span class="bold">1979 Revolution: Black Friday</span>, a choice-driven political thriller set during the famous Iranian Revolution, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com for Windows and Mac.

It is during those pivotal times of conflict, unrest, and extreme tendencies that one must be very careful when making any meaningful choices. Because these choices carry the potential of rippling through history and echoing for generations to come. Reza Shirazi, an Iranian photojournalist who has just returned home after studying abroad, finds Tehran caught up in one such event, the 1979 Revolution: Black Friday. His best friend is an influential member of the movement against the Shah and Reza will soon get tangled up in the turmoil and far-reaching implications of this revolution.

Renza will meet a colourful cast of controversial characters, take and process photographs of the events, and face hard decisions, which will dictate the fate of his friends and family, as well as how he experiences the revolution. Numerous collectibles and faithfully reconstructed scenes will give you an authentic, cinematic presentation of these troubled times, based on eyewitness testimonies and historical facts. An acclaimed voice-cast brings these tragic events to life, but ultimately, it is your own choices that dictate how this bloody street revolution will play out and who it touches the most.

Take historical pictures and be an integral part of the big picture behind the <span class="bold">1979 Revolution: Black Friday</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Consider me to be stupid, stale and old. Very, very old.

But, I would like to know: is it a political game? And: if it is choice-driven, how can it be - historically - accurate?

And, I am beginning to wonder; is GOG aware of the world we live in today? *Mother Russia Bleeds* and now this title?

Next game might be "Weimar Republique 2016".
You know what sucks most about high profile releases on gog? That you can bet that the releases for the rest of the week will be underwhelming to say the least.

Let's hope that the evil circle of mediocrity will be broken tomorrow. I'm hoping for some more EA releases, like Mirror's Edge.
Not my thing. neither was Democracy :D

You are aware that we don't make up the titles for the games, right? :P

Why not? You have always very nice and sometimes awesome titles for the sales, so why don`t you make the titles for the games?

Because we don't develop them.

I am. But timing - when to publish - is up to GOG, isn't it? ;-)
