Press reviews: “Its unique gameplay and immersive atmosphere felt like a breath of fresh air with regards to what games can do. We. The Revolution has been on the outskirts of my radar for a while due to its distinct art style and an interesting concept on paper, but not much beyond said art has been seen. Now a little under a month before release, we have a look at how the gameplay is going to work. From what I've seen, it should tick a lot of my boxes.” Destructoid “It's a gorgeous looking game and its mechanics are very pleasing, but I honestly can't remember the last time a game had quite such an oppressive atmosphere. Impressive and upsetting in equal measure, it's really stuck with me in the days since I played it and I'm still not quite sure how to feel about it - or about the choices I made during my play time. It's one to watch, I think, but only for those with the stomach for it.” Eurogamer “(...)from the vantage point of something like a visual novel, we get far more emotional depth and meaningful maturity than we do from so many splashy, big budget operations.” Gamasutra 

Notes: It is possible to condemn a person to death by beheading, but the act is not displayed on-screen. Instead, only the guillotine and crowd reactions are shown. The game contains text references to violence and sexual assault.
