Tehran is in the grip of fear following a series of grisly murders. Major Afshar has been tasked with finding those responsible. Meanwhile, some 3,300 miles away in London, an Iranian journalist is handed documents that uncover a conspiracy of seismic proportions. As both the Major and the journalist delve deeper, their paths will cross, plans for a coup will be uncovered and Western government involvement will be exposed.
Dark Years is an action-adventure game based on the real events surrounding ‘Operation Ajax ‘. In an attempt to secure the rights to Iran’s oil, the British and American governments secretly backed a coup that over-threw the democratically elected government of Mohammad Mosaddegh. The result was a period of great instability and violence.

It's terrible but it tries so hard you can't help but love it. The story is actually kinda solid surprisingly. Car music gets hit by content ID so turn it off on streams and such.
a messy and ugly game which is basically a propaganda media for the Islamic regime that rules with iron fist!
wtf is this game
An absolute tour de force of action, drama and mystery.
AAA studios, take a look! And see what true kinematic gaming looks like!
Simply terrible. Very clunky controls. Character gets stuck in scenery. Camera movement is nauseating. Bad voice acting. Etc. etc.
bought this game when it came out, 5 years later and i still have trouble
What the hell did I just play?
you piece of shet
this game sucks
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I should have listened to the reviews. There are so many things wrong with this game, but my main issue is with the camera and controls. The room is constantly spinning. Additionally, all of the voices are terrible. The script sucked to begin with, but the people speaking sounded like the had only learned to read yesterday. I am struggling to find anything nice to say about this game. Ummm.... I was happy with the variety of puzzles/mini-games to play, but they were way too easy. The most challenging part of this game is being able to navigate a room with the freakin camera spinning. For some unknown reason, I decided I would see this game through to the end, but the game had other plans. I believe I had completed atleast 2/3 of the game when it froze. I have tried everything to pass that point, but nothing worked. So, don't waste your time either!
I've not finished this game yet but I bought it at 90% discount for 1,29 euro and 2 euros would be a fair price.
You will not get any professional production value except for the music and the pictures in the loading screen, but you will get a game where the making is all heart and the development seems to be driven by a single developer wanting to tell a story. I don't know if the story in the game is any good yet, but the history about the 1953 Iranian coup d'état is something you should know about especially if you are in the West with knowledge about Iran only from your media.
The game has awful English voice acting, poor graphics, and awful controls but it does nothing intentionally to annoy you by repetitions, backtracking and other known tricks. It could have benefited greatly from professional resources in regards of dialogue, controls, graphics etc. but neither Hollywood nor Teheran would ever fund it.
At this point the developer seams to want me to know who Mohammed Mosaddegh was, so I'm going to complete it.
No crashes yet but some problems with de-selecting from inventory.
What is this thing? It is awful, laggy, uncontrollable, unplayable. Tried to give game a try a few times, but I failed.
Without a doubt the best Iranian game I ever played!
It features:
-Bad graphic
-Hilarious bad voice acting. (Even I could have written it better using my broken English)
-Nonsensical puzzles
-More bugs than a bethesda game on release
-Quite nice hand drawn cut-scenes, which was obviously not made by the same people as the rest of this game, as the texts bobbles in these scenes features grammatically correctly written dialog, while the voice actors who are narrating the same scenes are still reading nonsensical dialog out loud.
-Dreadful controls, which are barely tolerable while out in the open and nearly game breaking when moving in cramped spaces.
-The music’s nice though.
However I also laughed out load many times. Below is a list of some of my favorite moments of the game (Spoiler Warning):
- A NPC advices one of the protagonists to disguise himself as a “British count” (according to the subtitles) which the voice actor pronounce as a “British cunt”
- The London eye appearing in one on the cut scenes, even though the game takes place in 1953.
- The ending. I kid you not, the game ends with the Shars wife literally burning one of the protagonist alive.
NOTE: Despite my lambasting of this particular game in this review, similar content / characters / and setting is better done in a more recent point-and-click style / adventure game from the same developers, located here:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/630170/Murder_In_Tehrans_Alleys_1933/
The presentation of the story there is much better suited to that genre of game, and the voice acting is far more consistent.
That being said, on with Dark Years...
I thought the setting of this game seemed interesting and I am a big fan of detective / noir / pulp style storylines, so I was incredibly disappointed to see just how low quality this game is.
I can handle and even admire a low quality game if it's rough around the edges but still fun to play but the translation on this game and some of the voiceacting is downright comedic in how bad it is. Although the voice acting in the trailer on Steam sounds fine enough let me assure you the actual game's voice acting is BAAAAAAD. One of the early characters you encounter (who looks like a gruff, 50-60 year old male hobo) sounds like a 5 year old girl explaining something to you and the translation is so terrible that what they are saying doesn't even make sense. While this is funny to see, I was also simultaneously weeping that I had paid money to experience it.
The voice acting and overall pace of the game may pick up later after you slog through the garbage introductory sequence, but for myself I couldn't even be bothered to sift through it too much. From what I remember the game uses a checkpoint save system as well, so if you find yourself stuck on a particularly annoying sequence but happen to exit before a checkpoint good luck accomplishing the same tasks again.
I would only recommend this game to the most hardcore of fans of detective type storylines but be warned the product itself is very unpolished.
why couldn't they just make it a regular point and click adventure and hire some decent voice actors?
