Velvet 89

🗣️"And the city does nothing. They tell us to stay inside and keep the windows shut." 🗣️"People are tired and want change." 🗣️"Every year it gets worse and worse." 🗣️"They're firing our friends from schools and arresting people who just want the regime to respect human rights." 🗣️"I am afraid. I hope they'll let us go when they see our hands are bare." 🗣️"Stop the violence!"

Nice & relaxing, very human and tense perspectives on the uprising. Bravo! Finding each charater gave me the time to think, sustained by the moody crowd noises. A great, introspective process.

What a fantastic master class in including history into a game! Both visually and creatively! As many others have said this is an I-Spy and Where's Waldo/Wally type of game where you explore through the crowd to find various folks with various perspectives and lived experiences related to the Velvet Revolution; that led to the fall of Czechoslovakia. I myself had not known the proper history of this revolution so this was deeply moving and educational for me! I think the nuance here is that looking for each person and item in the crowd highlights the ways in which each person matters in these types of situations when folks are fighting against injustice in their country. We learn what each individuals thoughts are and each item gives us context clues of where we are. As outsiders we often will see the big crowds on international news but not understand or hear what brought people to join these movement and moments in history. This game really highlights the power of the collective and how we can all find common purpose and empathy in a shared cause. And how people really can create mass change! Each individual matters! Thank you for such a wonderful educational experience!

Interesting and Informative.

Featuring the author's poorly disguised political propaganda

A very unique combination of game mechanics and story.
