The Cat and the Coup

"The Cat and the Coup" is a unique game that lets players experience the history of Iran's first democratically elected Prime Minister, Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh, through the eyes of his cat. Players influence Mossadegh's actions by knocking objects and scattering papers, leading him through significant events of his life. The game provides insight into Iranian history and encourages players to consider their connection to the past, particularly the relationship between Western video game players and Iran. It raises thought-provoking questions about democracy and its potential threats.
