1979 Revolution: Black Friday

I learned a lot but wanted to learn more

As an Israeli, I am used to think of Iran as "an enemy". Through this game, I learned to see Iran in an entirely different light. I came to appreciate the heroic struggle of the Iranian people to free themselves from the despot Shah. I appreciated their connection to God and prayer. I felt sad for all the people who were killed during the battle for freedom, whether by the Shah's men or by internal struggle. I felt sorry for all the families who were torn due to political conflicts. More than all, I felt sorry that the revolution changed its path and lead to replacing one dictator with another. One thing that is missing from the game is the story of what happened between Black Friday and the events of chapter 1: how did the friends, who cooperated against the Shah, become enemies? What has the group of Abbas and Bibi done, and what happened in Iran during this time? This is probably the most crucial period in Iranian history, and it is a pity that the game skips this period.
