Interesting use of a game to educate people on the history of the first democratically elected Prime Minister Of Iran. A short game with simple gameplay, and quite stunning visuals & music. You play as the PM's cat, who leads him through events throughout his life by solving simple puzzles. Don't take my word for it, and check out my video by clicking on the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqH8C2HfZ1U
