The Cat and the Coup
In The Cat and the Coup you are a cat, specifically Mohammed Mossadegh’s cat. Who was he? The first democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran who was overthrown in a CIA-funded coup . The game looks like Persian miniatures. It has music by Nine Inch Nails. And it’s free. See the trailer here. (Via PC Gamer–Thanks, Denis!)
