You play as Reza, a photojournalist, where you get caught up by two opposing sides of the revolution. The fates of those around you hinge on the consequences of your choices.

Ratings and Reviews
Fantastic
Having read Persepolis and seen (and read) Argo, both of which focus on the same period of Iran's history, I was interested to see this game on the App Store. Although the player's interaction is limited, similar to "cinematic" titles like Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain, the fact that this is all based on real events makes it much more compelling to me. The comparisons provided between photos taken in the game and real images from historic archives is brilliant and brings home the reality of the situation during the revolution. Conversational details, switching from English to Farsi and back again in a single sentence, all feel very well-observed and work without leaning too heavily on subtitles.
What an amazing Game!
Just picked this up and was absolutely blown away by the incredible tension and story telling in this choose your own adventure game. Highly recommend it and definitely check out the collectibles - bravo iNK Stories!
Wooden gameplay
You basically have no real effect on anything, almost all the dialogue options get the exact same replies from npcs and the game just had you taking photos of things that it considers important. You can't just take your own pictures or chart your own path it's all on a track you have to follow and the only times you get different dialogue responses from the npcs is when you make the wrong choice and you die.
