Velvet 89

Released
By Rob from the Shack
Explore the Velvet Revolution through hidden-object puzzles and real stories from 1989 Czechoslovakia.

How did the communist regime in Czechoslovakia collapse? Velvet 89 takes you on a journey through five cities and six landmark protests that triggered the Velvet Revolution.
In this revolutionary hidden-object game you investigate moments of courage and resistance: from cautious ecology-themed protests in border regions to massive crowds in the squares of Prague, and from tear gas and police aggression to the voices of ordinary people who decided to speak out.

Each piece of the story is grounded in real testimony and was developed in cooperation with experts from the educational programme One World in Schools and the project Stories of Injustice, ensuring a historically accurate narrative. The game pairs handcrafted graphics with actual historical footage, offering a unique aesthetic and emotional impact.
