'' 1979 Revolution : Black Friday '' was in development for four years ; the first two years consisted of seeking money from financiers , and the game was developed over the following two years . The game is based on events that occurred during the Iranian Revolution , namely Black Friday . The development team chose this setting shortly after the founding of development studio iNK Stories in 2010 , as they felt the chaotic environment would make players wary of which characters to trust . The team coined the term " vérité game " to describe '' 1979 Revolution '' , based on the cinéma vérité style of documentary filmmaking . They consider it an interactive storytelling technique that combines elements from video games and documentaries , blending them with a flexible narrative . The team wanted to avoid the game being considered strictly educational , ensuring player entertainment and engagement was the highest priority . They also wanted to ensure that its simple gameplay would allow for both gamers and non-gamers to take part . Director Navid Khonsari said that the game 's development was the result of " a culmination of doing games , falling in love with narrative storytelling and ... fascination with documentary "
