A game about the war in Iraq, which arouses controversy from the very announcement, i.e. Six Days in Fallujah, she found herself in the spotlight again. Today, the Victura company, responsible for the revival of the project, has issued a statement that refers to what her boss said? Peter Tamte. Less than three weeks ago he saidThat their production will not raise political and controversial topics, such as the use of white phosphorus by US troops. This provoked a number of critical comments, so it is not surprising that the message of today’s statement is completely different.
Below you will find the text that was published on the publisher’s twitter account.
We are aware that the events reproduced in Six Days in Fallujah it cannot be disconnected from political discussions. That is why our game will allow each party to comment.
Stories in Six Days in Fallujah they are told through gameplay and documentary materials with the participation of soldiers and civilians. Each of them has different experiences and opinions about the war in Iraq. So far, 26 Iraqis and dozens of military personnel have shared their most difficult moments in life, and we want to pass these memories on.
Documentary segments touch upon many difficult political topics. We talked about both the decisions that led to the battles for Fallujah and their consequences. We will not allow players to use white phosphorus during the game, but its operation is described in the footage.
The players will participate in events whose context will be outlined earlier in the document. Each mission forces the player to interactively resolve real military and civil events from the battle, offering a view of the war unlike any other media.
We believe that the stories of consecration deserve to be told by all who were there. Marines, soldiers and ordinary civilians.
We believe you will find this game complex, as are the events it recreates.
