The Cat and the Coup interprets this moment of ignominy into videogame form. The game takes place during the 17-year period when Mossadegh was under house arrest. Players control Mossadegh’s cat and as they move it through each environment Mossadegh is coerced into reliving all of the tragic moments of his life. The game is a collaboration between Peter Brinson and Kurosh ValaNejad, professors at USC’s Game Innovation Lab
