Twenty-five years ago, you fought in the Revolutionary War alongside the Grand Army.
Twenty-four years ago, you defected from the Grand Army to join the People's Militia.
Twenty-one years ago, the People's Militia became the Red Army.

THE REVISIONIST is a visual novel by videodante. An average reader should be able to finish it in about 30 minutes.
THE REVISIONIST takes place in a world much like our own, but not our own.
It is set in the middle of the 20th century, as communism is wielded as the principal ideological weapon in the hands of the global proletariat. In THE REVISIONIST, you will see one small part of this world, in a nation developing independently after its two-stage revolution.
THE REVISIONIST puts you in the shoes of the second Senior Secretary of an unnamed nation in this world. It is up to you to influence this nation's path.
You will not avoid hardship. You will not make the best choices. You will do what you can, for the people.

I found it really interesting. I loved the layout of the images and text.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed. This was my first time doing all the VN layout myself in renpy so I had some fun laying it all out.
