Reza Shirazi is an aspiring photojournalist who has returned home from Germany to Iran at the same time as the UsefulNotes/IranianRevolution. Attending and photographing a protest against the Shah of Iran with his friend Babak Azadi, Reza finds himself at the centre of intrigue when a rebel leader, Abbas, is stabbed during the chaos after the police attack the protestors, and Reza's pictures show the possibility of finding the culprit. With other leaders such as his cousin Ali and firebrand Bibi Golestan, Reza must figure out his allegiances, while also worrying about family, as well as his policeman brother, Hossein.
Despite its relatively low production values, the game has been lauded as one of the few games set in Iran (outside more {{Qurac}} portrayals) and for portraying the revolution from the perspective of an Iranian.
