Shape the revolution for better or worse as you play as Reza Shirazi,”a young photojournalist who returns home to find his people protesting the ruling King, the Shah. Armed with your camera, you capture the emotionally-charged stories and events unfolding on the streets and in the shadows.” 1979 Revolution: Black Friday is written and directed by Navid Khonsari, a game development veteran who has worked on a lengthy list of best-sellers, including GTA: Vice City, Alan Wake and Resident Evil 7. Khonsari grew up in Iran but left with his family after the revolution. Regarded by Iranian officials as ?pro-American propaganda?, sales of the game have been banned in the country and Khonsari has been accused of being a U.S. spy.
