About

The Cat and the Coup, released in 2011, is a unique documentary game that immerses players in a historical narrative. You take on the role of the cat belonging to Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh, Iran's first democratically elected Prime Minister. This indie title distinguishes itself through its innovative storytelling, where you interact with the environment to influence events surrounding the CIA-engineered coup of 1953.

In terms of PC performance, The Cat and the Coup is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU (minimum score ~1500) and 4 GB of RAM. Players can expect smooth FPS even on less powerful systems, making it an excellent choice for those with modest gaming rigs. You won't need cutting-edge graphics settings to enjoy the game's visuals, as its simple art style runs efficiently on a range of hardware, allowing for a seamless gaming experience.

If you're interested in a thought-provoking narrative and enjoy indie games, The Cat and the Coup comes highly recommended despite its moderate rating of 70/100. Its historical context and creative gameplay provide a refreshing alternative in the gaming landscape, making it worthwhile for both casual and serious gamers alike.

Performance profile

May 2011 release. The Cat and the Coup targets mid-2000s-to-early-2010s hardware — any modern entry-level GPU (GTX 1650 tier or newer integrated graphics) handles it at 1080p Ultra without breaking a sweat.

Indie and casual titles are typically light on hardware. The Cat and the Coup runs well on almost any modern GPU, including integrated graphics on recent laptops — you won't need a dedicated card for a smooth experience.

Extremely light — The Cat and the Coup runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
