1979 Revolution for PS4, PC and etc. is an action game in which we are involved in high profile political changes that took place in 1979 in Iran – called the Iranian Revolution. Let us remind that this was the year when, as a result of mass demonstrations, dictatorial regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was overthrown, and Pahlavi was forced to flee the country. A new regime was proclaimed – democratic, but also strongly associated with Muslim traditions and laws.

Gameplay

In 1979 Revolution for PS4, PC and etc. we observe the action from the third-person perspective. Players impersonate several participants of those events. We begin the game as an American translator who recently arrived in the territory of Iran. He was sent in by the United States with a mission to negotiate the release of hostages from an embassy occupied by the revolutionaries. However, not before long, we are put in the shoes of one of students occupying the embassy. Some of the protagonists we control specialize in combat, while others rely on negotiation skills, stealth, or even trade.

Each level has an open structure, resembling somewhat the Grand Theft Auto series. Important aspect of 1979 Revolution for PS4, PC and etc. is an attempt to present the history from different, sometimes conflicting, points of view. By controlling different characters we experience different ways of perceiving moral controversies surrounding the revolution in Iran.
