We the Revolution (game)

 The 2019 video game We. The Revolution is currently available on GOG for the bargain price of £6.59.  Hours of entertainment ...(well, sort of!)

We. The Revolution is a unique game with a singular art style set in the blood-soaked and paranoid world of the French Revolution, where often you could not tell a friend from an enemy. As a judge of the Revolutionary Tribunal, you will pass sentences and play a dangerous political game. At the end of a day you will also confront your decisions with your family.

The power over human life and death is a heavy burden that can affect the fate of the revolution. Keep that in mind each time when passing sentence in the courtroom, while assigning tasks to your agents, and weaving political intrigue. We. The Revolution is addressed chiefly to players who enjoy moral dilemmas, complex personal choices, and want to immerse themselves in the world of sophisticated intrigue.

We. The Revolution puts players in morally ambiguous situations in which there are no obvious solutions, and the decisions they make are never clear cut.

IN WE. THE REVOLUTION YOU WILL:

• Shape history and decide who will live and who will die.
• Experience the oppressive atmosphere of the French Revolution as you know it from classic novels of Alexandre Dumas and Joseph Conrad.
• Preside dozen of unique and morally ambiguous court cases.
• Confront your judgments with your family – your loved ones may often disa-gree with your decisions.
• Run your own courtroom – question witnesses, analyze clues and evidence, read reports, and pass sentences.
• Make friends and enemies of different rival factions vying for power. Make them your associates or make them disappear!
• Engage in a mix of genres, blending case-building with intrigue-crafting and turn-based tactics.
• Discover the unusual visual style blending the simplicity of polygons with neoclassical art from the revolutionary era.
• We. The Revolution is a symbolic story, loosely based on historical events from the time of the Great Revolution. Experience life in a time of revolutionary upheavals!

My husband and I are hooked, but we have already been guillotined twice!  I love the atmospheric art work.
