How did the communist regime in Czechoslovakia fall? This hidden-object game tells the story of ordinary people taking part in the peaceful demonstrations that changed the course of history. Big crowds hide those, who want to tell you why they took to the streets.

What do people making a stand against the unjust regime dream of? What do they fear?

Hidden-object history in four cities
Velvet 89 takes you on a trip across the revolting country – from cautious ecology-themed protests to huge crowds. Investigate the moments before police brutally attacked a peaceful demonstration and unveil the stories of those who decided to speak up.

Made with real memories
Velvet 89 was developed with experts from the renowned Czech project Stories of Injustice. Every piece of the story in the game is based on actual testimonies. It shows how the revolution gained momentum, from the border regions onto the squares of Prague and further.

Paper meets video
History comes alive in a visual style reminiscent of paper cut-outs, used videotapes or faded photo albums. The game combines handcrafted atmosphere with real historical footage.

Features:
• Four cities, five protests that made the Velvet Revolution happen
