This game is amazing, and looks like one of the best I've seen. I'm using a Samsung Tablet and unfortunately, I'm unable to get through the first level because I don't know how to make my character leap, change directions...is there a way to click the screen arrows correctly? I'd love to explore more.

£4.99 I want my money back!! It is a real shame as I really like this, an incredible true story with all makings of a masterpiece! The graphics for a mobile device are the best I have seen and the voice acting is superb........ Can't play this game though! Cannot get proper movement, way too laggy and swiping actions won't respond. So frustrating because this game would be a keeper..Cost me £4.99 and would be worth every penny, - if I could enjoy playing it. Needs graphics settings so it can be played. Needs a trial version to see if your device can play it.

The controls and camera angles could use some serious improvement. They either didn't register at all, or registered the complete opposite. It made everything a chore, even walking around. The quick time events were a headache. Which I want to specify, was not a user error. This clearly came down to faulty controls. Entire environments wouldn't load. There would be nothing but people in the streets. No cars, posters, banners, or anything. Yet, when I was taking pictures, the real pictures would show a plethora of things that weren't there. Yet my pictures were nothing more than a barren street. It made it difficult to actually progress in the game because I couldn't see what I could or couldn't interact with. Which was not a problem with my phone either. My phone far exceeds the minimum specs for this game. However, I really did enjoy the story and the concept of the game. I thought it was a very innovative style of game play and story telling. I just wish experiencing that story wasn't a chore. In the end, the game is okay at best. The controls and graphics issues prevent any sort of immersion and make it a chore to get through. Though the story and concept is brilliant.

This game is quite jumpy, not to mention the game doesn't even give you enough time to react to the situations they put you in. Give me time to process. Make some changes to this game, it isn't currently worth finishing, or $4.99 for that matter. Good idea that just needs some polishing.

To(Ink Stories): Please make more historical type situation games like 1979! You can learn about important parts of history while having fun, but also understanding the gray area of life's decisions and there repercussions. This game shows real life choices aren't always so black and white. Let Telltale have the fantasy fun games, while I.S. could possibly one day end up becoming the King of historical choice games....+■《:}

This Game is clean and smooth, A True story is Tolded and all the Facts are Dead on point. Also the Games Graphics are Good . Well Done for a Phone game. Just be aware to make sure your phone is charging while playing Game cause games like these uses a lot of Battery Power. Another then that ,it's a kick ass Game.

This game is important. Thank you to all involved in its creation. This is an achievement that is commendable on its own merit as art and history, and I believe the message and visceral experience is so much more crucial now that we have a president who proudly advocates for unequivocal torture and "a helluva lot worse." It's important to know history and context in order to resist what really are the historical forces of evil that stand against global democracy and progress. There's so much more to say, but I'm skirting that manifesto thesaurus style now. The game's value is apparent. It matters. Thanks again to the creators, I look forward to seeing more.

Try out this new game and well i am impressed with the graphic detail, voiceovers and the story. Interesting yet curious want to know more. But the game lag bad at certain point so i agreed with Alex Oneill to add in a graphic control option. The game only last for 2 hours plus so i feel it is too short for the price there. To iNK Stories do add in more content pls. I can see your game is in a tight competition with Telltales Inc games as i see certain simliarity there. Keep it up and do fix any bugs there!

The swipe & tap session in chapter 5 (when the army starts shooting) is a bit unresponsive. I keep dying when the character try to get his camera back, I keep swiping right as I told to but always fail! PLEASE FIX IT, I WANT TO ADVANCE! [UPDATE: Your advice work! Thank you!]

I loved this game. What a great story, how many other games take place in Iran? Great voice acting as well. If you've played any telltale games it's similar to them in terms of game play. Highly recommended!

It wasn't working at first because I hadn't set the screen overlay option so the problem was on my end. Other than that the game runs smoothly and the storyline is great so far!
