[1/2] 'Dirty Wars' videogame recreator, Jorge Olivares, inspired by Chile's military coup and the fight against Pinochet's dictatorship, shows a screen with his game featuring La Moneda government palace, in Santiago, Chile, September 4, 2023.
The couple in the game, Maximiliano and Abigail, choose to confront the military regime by joining a resistance group.
Chile on Sept. 11 will mark half a century since the coup, which saw a violent siege of the government palace in Santiago.
Olivares said his game, launched on online gaming platform Steam, was not intended as "Marxist propaganda" or an "allegory" for the Allende government.
