Projects based on real events would never have guessed

Video games serve players as an outlet and escape for a while from the problems of everyday life. They help to relax in the evenings and on weekends, feel like a different person, visit other countries and cities, learn their customs and traditions, learn many fascinating and interesting stories. But in the gaming space from time to time enters reality, the creators and developers are trying to bring to the players events that happened in life. Thanks to projects like this, we can look at these incidents in a different way, literally explore from all angles. To be in that place, in that hour when the events took place, to dive into the atmosphere of that day. I would like to discuss some projects based on real events, many of which are so scary that you just can't believe they actually happened.

The game was released in 2004 and reflects the events of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. You could say that it is a simulation of the assassination of the thirty-fifth president of the United States. The game recreates, as a step back in time, the day of Kennedy's assassination, November 22, 1963. In the city of Dallas, while a motorcade of cars was moving through the streets, the president was assassinated. Two bullets were fired at him by the assassin, which fatally wounded him. He was alive for the first few hours after being wounded and even taken to the hospital, but his wounds were incompatible with life. The game conveys the events that occurred with frightening accuracy and reality. After getting to know the project better, an unpleasant residue remains. We realize that this happened in reality, and we just, just participated in the JFK assassination. The developers had a goal, to bring the actual events closer to reality, to discard all the side versions that misinterpret the event. But succeeded in causing outrage from many critics and players too. Kennedy was loved and respected by his people, and they hated the scene of his assassination. The game was banned, rather quickly, but we decided to spread the word. In my opinion, it is one of the best assassination simulations.

This project reflects the terrible events and consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. Thanks to this game has gained popularity among gamers around the world. Reality is an explosion that took place, people left the city and the surrounding area, the resulting zone, where people can not be, otherwise they will be affected by radiation. Then begins a fantastic story, which is very well, imbued with the atmosphere of the place, embodied in this gameplay. All events in the game take place in the Exclusion Zone, in which it is strictly forbidden, but this does not prevent lovers of extreme adventures to travel to these places. Some guests came to get the goods, others to protect the zone from intrusion, while others came just out of interest, just to get a closer look at the sarcophagus, which covered the destroyed power unit. The main character, being in the exclusion zone, realizes that life here is booming. And this is not only people of different occupations, but also angry and aggressive monsters, which have become such a negative impact on them due to radiation. The protagonist has a lot of tests and amazing adventures. If the gloomy atmosphere of Chernobyl and wandering unattended monsters does not scare you, if you are a fan of such adventures, that cause a constant feeling of fear, then this is your game. Choose a project like this, it will make your day off, just unforgettable.

The project saw the light in 2009, it is based on real events that took place, many years ago, in London. The storyline is about the hunt for the maniac of the time, who was nicknamed Jack the Ripper, because of his sadistic, bloody murders and habit of gutting the victim. In reality, all efforts to catch the killer who plagued the city proved futile. The police were never able to identify and track down the killer. The name of the famous, but fictionalized by Arthur Conan Doyle, London detective Sherlock Holmes appears in the title of the game. This is where the fictional line begins, which is skillfully intertwined with the real characters and events taking place at the time. The detective and the maniac, in real life could never meet, because one of them is a fictional character. But in the game space they came together in the battle, and Holmes's famous deductive method helped him to catch and disarm the Ripper, and to deliver the citizens of London from the homicidal maniac. The gameplay is very interesting, you can hang out on the streets of the foggy city long enough, the investigation is conducted with great care, questioning the townspeople and the witnesses who found the bodies. All this is quite fascinating and interesting, the process of catching the criminal is pleasantly drawn out, the search for truth brings satisfaction. This project, just a real gift for fans of detectives and investigations, enjoy the process of search and analysis, have fun.

Gamers around the world learned about this touching project in 2016. We couldn't pass by this game and not mention it in our list of games based on true events. It's not a global event, or even a country, or a city. It's just the enormous drama of one single family's real-time experience of boundless tragedy. The parents of a young boy, learn that their son is sick with brain cancer, and the baby is only one year old. Doctors report that the boy will not live another year and will die, but the father and mother do not want to put up with it and begin an active struggle for their only son. The boy lived until he was five years old, then came the fatal outcome, which was triggered by another attack of the disease. After he passed away, inconsolable parents decided to immortalize all their feelings, emotions and great, boundless pain in the project That Dragon, Cancer. The player is not directly involved in the gameplay, he kind of watches what is happening from the sidelines. We are invited to plunge into the atmosphere of a family, which daily struggle for the health and life of a child. The story is very difficult, carries a real heartache that is impossible to drown. But people are mostly kind and sympathetic, so the story of a family that lost a child, found a response in many hearts. By getting into this game, we are not having fun, but getting along with other people's grief, learning to empathize and love people.

In the summer of 2000, a huge tragedy occurred in the Barents Sea, which took the lives of one hundred and eighteen people of the crew of the submarine Kursk. In August, an exercise was held in which the submarine and its crew took part. During the exercise, there was a disaster, a torpedo exploded on board the submarine, resulting in the sinking of the ship to a depth of one hundred and eight meters. Another explosion occurred at depth, killing the entire command staff. The summer of 2000 took our sons and husbands from us. A game was created based on this grand tragedy, which tells the story of the few hours before the explosion. The storyline features a fictional hero, an agent who just needs to get aboard the ship and investigate and search for secret papers, information and documents. All of this takes place on the eve of the explosion, so you should hurry up so you don't get killed along with everyone else.
