About This Game

LINK TO THE ORIGINAL HERE:

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?

While sadly very short, it is a rather interesting experience to play.

The Cat and the Coup is a short game and almost more like a semi-interactive documentary story. You play the cat of Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh, the first democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran. It leads you through the events of the summer of 1953 when the CIA engineered a coup to bring about his downfall. The rooms often involve rocking back and forth or Mossadegh pacing and you have to position the cat correctly to knock things off shelves, scattering papers, scratch, or tilt things to manipulate Mossadegh to move to certain areas or look at certain things. An outline appears where you can move and most rooms are extremely easy. Though the game play itself isn't particularily intriguing what makes this game really standout is it's graphics and the historical narrative. The graphics are largely inspired by traditional Iranian Miniatures and features a mix of Medieval style looking figures with masterful geometric patterns and vibrant colors. In addition though are certian images...
