Jogue como o gato do Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh, primeiro-ministro democraticamente eleito do Irã. Guie-o de volta por momentos cruciais de sua vida desde o golpe de 1953 orquestrado pela CIA, derrubando objetos das prateleiras, espalhando papéis e arranhando-o. Esta aventura indie se inspira nas tradições da arte persa em miniatura e na política externa da Guerra Fria para explorar as conexões entre jogadores ocidentais, Mossadegh e as relações EUA-Irã.
O jogo provoca reflexões sobre ameaças à democracia. Os jogadores mergulham em um loop único de persuasão ligado a eventos históricos. Ideal para quem curte aventuras indie reflexivas que misturam história com interações sutis.

New art, new music, and in French and Spanish.
In The Cat and the Coup, you play the cat of Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh, the first democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran. During the summer of 1953, the CIA engineered a coup to bring about his downfall. As a player, you coax Mossadegh back through significant events of his life by knocking objects off shelves, scattering his papers, and scratching him.
The game, situated within the traditions of Persian miniature art form and cold war foreign policy, asks players to consider their connection to Iranian history. The Cat and the Coup is both about the relationship between the Western video game player and Mossadegh and, by extension, the United States and Iran. It lays a foundation for today’s critical question -- how do the people know when their democracy is threatened?
