About Dark Years
Dark Years is an action-adventure game set in Tehran in 1953, inspired by the real events surrounding Operation Ajax. After a series of grisly murders, Major Afshar is tasked with finding those responsible. In London, some 3,300 miles away, an Iranian journalist receives documents revealing a conspiracy. As they investigate, their paths cross, uncovering plans for a coup and Western government involvement.
Historical setting
The game draws on the events in which the British and American governments secretly backed a coup to secure rights to Iran’s oil. The coup overthrew the democratically elected government of Mohammad Mosaddegh, resulting in a period of instability and violence.
Gameplay and story
You explore an open world, shoot and drive as the narrative unfolds. The game features over 25 characters with nearly 3,000 lines of dialogue and offers over 8 hours of gameplay.
