The Tale of Bistunis an action-adventure game with an isometric view inspired by a Persian poem about a tragic romance from the Early Middle Ages. It was developed by Black Cube Games, a Dutch studio backed by IMGN.PRO, a Polish publisher.
The plot of The Tale of Bistun is loosely based on the poem Khosrov and Shirin by Nizami Ganjawi, a Persian poet who lived between the 12th and 13th centuries. It tells a fictional version of the story of the tragic love between the Persian king Khosrov II Parviz and his Christian wife Shirin.
The main character of the game wakes up with amnesia near the title Bistun Mountain. After a while, he learns his name (Fahrad) and his profession (sculptor), but it is not enough to recover all of his memories. Before achieving this goal, he has a long journey through a world inspired by Persian myths and tainted by mysterious corruption, and an ethereal land of lost memories.
The developers of The Tale of Bistun have decided to use a technique that is not often used. In the game, the first violin is played by the book's narrator, who not only tells the story, but also describes the character's thoughts. Thanks to him we know the story of sacrifice and the hero forced to find himself again.
