Thank you for the insight. To be honest, the only reason I'm playing this game is because the developer said the story is based on real experience in Iran. A porn game set in an otherwise pretty conservative country if I may say. Otherwise, I'm not too keen on RPGM or a slow burn game. How believable is the rest of the story to you? A rural girl travelling straight to the University of Tehran without first arranging her accommodation? A family accepting a stranger to live in their flat? A swinger party? The Iranian girls I saw in the UK mostly don't wear hijab.The short answer, they definitely won't expel anyone, and punishment depends on the severity and impact on public opinion.
Long answer, It's considered a crime under "propagation of depravity" (not sure if it's a correct translation), though most social pages with a few followers are not worthwhile to pursuit criminally. Even if they are reported by someone and sued in court (yeah, you can sue someone for that), it most likely will be just a slap on the wrist and/or some paperwork. In case of repeated action though, there are harsher punishments, which can be anything from fines and whipping to jail time.
That is all considering the person in question is a legal citizen and by birth, a Muslim. If not, let's say they're tourists, they won't care what you post unless it has some political ambiguity. At first, they would ask the said person to rectify the issues through diplomatic means by embassy's mediation. If there is no resolution in sight, they will terminate their stay. There are some extreme cases when the political tension is high and visitors to both countries are caught in the crossfire.
Well then good thing that quency77 made a Ren'Py port for us. I don't know why the dev decided to use RPGM. If you're not going to use an engine's features to the fullest, why not make the game with engines that are more straightforward to use.Thank you for the insight.

I believe, she is a city girl but comes from a much smaller city than the capital, which is Tehran, and her naivety is mainly due to living a sheltered life and being a stranger to the hectic nature of Tehran. The dev doesn't give the whole picture about her circumstances and how she got to be admitted to this prestigious university but something that maybe would help understand the situation is that there is a national entrance exam namely "Concour" (A French word). Based on applicants' scores and ranking, they may gain entry through two routes: self-paid or government-funded (for comparison, normally, half of a year's entree are self-paid and the other half are government-funded). Those that are government-funded, in a normal situation, will have guaranteed access to dorms. But self-paid need to ask for access or seek someplace to stay beforehand if no empty room in on-site dorms are available.A rural girl travelling straight to the University of Tehran without first arranging her accommodation?
The case is different with single boys and girls. There is much more distrust against single boys than it is towards the girls, be it either living with someone else or trying to rent a flat. But Iranian are very friendly people and if they sense that you can be trusted, they will open their doors to you. In this case though, the father tried to object but we can see that he changed his mind after seeing her (Dirty old man ), and the mom is dead due to cancer ... so yeah, this situation is completely believable for me.A family accepting a stranger to live in their flat?
Sure, complete with different types of drugs, alcohol, and wild activities. But these illegal parties are scorned and frowned upon even by some of the more open-minded people.A swinger party? The Iranian girls I saw in the UK mostly don't wear hijab.
Well, as I said earlier, it's good enough for me and it's evident that the dev had close exposure, living in Iran. The ideology of older generation vs younger ones, the paradoxical expectation of society vs peers, and unpreparedness that sheltering youths by parents and family brings (which is rooted to some degree in the culture of Iranian) are real concepts in Iran. Different personages, especially for side characters, that the dev has made resemble real people I have interacted with. You need to ground fiction in some degree of reality which the dev has done as you can see but it's still required to create imaginary plot devices to make a story fun and engaging to follow. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this, especially if the dev decides to clean that grammar .How believable is the rest of the story to you?
Ah, glad you didn't take it the wrong way hehe.hey! thank you and i don't mean super huge i also don't like G or H tits but like D,DD/E tits are still nice imo
Holy shit that was unexpected! Thank you for sharing your work! But there will be loss in quality from what I understand based on your comments about converting the files and then compressing right? :04 Years In Tehran [v0.3] (Unofficial Ren'Py Version)

Yo thanks for confirming exactly all the stuff that I thought made it pretty believable to me, coming from a perspective of someone that lives in Québec, Canada haha. I always strive to be a very open minded person and with the year we are in, the youth and the small amount of the Muslim culture I knew, I was under the impression that a large majority of that whole scenario was indeed very believable to me. Of course, under the right cascade of specific circumstances hahaha. And that the events that occur are indeed things that happen over there.Well then good thing that quency77 made a Ren'Py port for us. I don't know why the dev decided to use RPGM.

That is mostly the context. Based on appearances, dialogues, and the car driven by the dad, I think that she comes from a very simple family that is conservative, and her parents, possibly don't have a clue of how universities work differently than high schools.

You don't really have to worry about the image quality.Holy shit that was unexpected! Thank you for sharing your work! But there will be loss in quality from what I understand based on your comments about converting the files and then compressing right? :0
Because usually thats something I wanna keep. But then again having it in Ren'Py is so much better! So don't get me wrong I'm very appreciative of your work in the end!
Oh wow indeed, the difference is barely noticeable! Really good compression done there! Thanks a lot for the quick answer!You don't really have to worry about the image quality.
There are marginal difference between the original and the compressed images
Take for example this two images:
View attachment 1443479 View attachment 1443480
You hardly can tell the difference between the two images even if you put them next to each other.
The uncompressed image here takes 3,6 MB, while the compressed takes about 0,475 MB.
You can save up so much space, while you don't have to worry bout image quality.
To add to this, Iran is different from many other muslim countries as prior to the Iranian Revolution (when the religious fanatics took over) in 1979 it was extremely westernized (see photo below for common dress then). So, many people in Iran grew up in a liberal society and ressent the current regime. Also, while I don't believe that this game reflects a "true story," I have had many iranian friends tell me there is an underground party scene there, not entirely unlike that depicted in the game. Also, just generally, mandatory hijabs is a weird issue, as no where in the Quran does it indicate that women have to where them. So, while many women continue to wear hijabs after leaving muslim countries, many do not, and in my experience, I don't think I've ever met an iranian woman who has wore their hijab when given the choice.The short answer, they definitely won't expel anyone, and punishment depends on the severity and impact on public opinion.

There are some extreme cases when the political tension is high and visitors to both countries are caught in the crossfire.
Sure, it's a sensitive subject. In Iran, even though that Hijab is mandatory, it's mostly incorporated and mixed into fashion and a considerable population especially the younger generation doesn't hold it a holy subject anymore. There is no definitive style to Hijab in Iran, but arguments over what is considered good or bad Hijab are there (Mostly extremists pushing for their ideals). About schools though, boys and girls in schools until 18 are kept separate in all-male and all-female schools, but beyond that, through college/university and work environments, it's mixed.
If you check just a few posts higher, there is the hero already haha. And I did test it out (full "naughty" playthrough) and it plays wonderfully.ok, i finished it. in general very positive and interesting.
since i watched recently lots of iranian movies on tv art movies channel some things that happening in the game have more sense (which would be riddiculous if game is happening in the west). though some things looks like out of touch with iranian life reality (party)
turn-offs:
1. RPGM (RENPY hero desperately needed)
2. constant issues: starting game, crushes, freezing...
3. baaaaad english
4. little boy wanker aka wannabe fucker (does this become requirement for any adult game?)
goofs:
why cars in teheran has new york plate's frame?
Oh thanks for that tidbit of history. Didn't knew it was very westernized before. Thanks for even adding a picture too. It's very interesting.To add to this, Iran is different from many other muslim countries as prior to the Iranian Revolution (when the religious fanatics took over) in 1979 it was extremely westernized (see photo below for common dress then).

actually iran had nothing to do with talibans. just opposite. iran is shia islam, while talibans are extreme version of sunni, so (before usa/un/nato intervention) talibans were killing or mollesting shia muslims. and iran supported opposition. i'm not sure during all these years after invasion did iranians support talibans against "the devil". most likely not. only recently these new talibans made some efforts to fix relations1. Partial solution (port 2 Ren'Py) just some posts above.
2. Probably solved by now, but need to check on my rig
*. USA left lots of Humvees for Taliban, so why Iran's capital can't have
some old cars? - do you expect people riding solely on donkeys there?
i was refering to iran-taliban coop against usa, not isis. yet however cars in game had nothing to do with afghanistan and it is hard to believe iranians got such cars from talibs. or their trade, if existed, was about luxury suvs. but if it was about toyota pickups, all sides have themI'm actually aware ~ differences between shia/sunni; christianity has its own East-West division circa 1054,
there's also judaism vs samaritanism, buddhism has a couple of it's own branches (take any major religion).
Semi-covert taliban support from iranian authorities was a thing at least around 2015-16 due to ISIS issues.
