The Cat and the Coup by peterbrinson Some democracies fall. Others are pushed.

One of the most affecting video games I've played is The Cat and the Coup (2011). You play as Mossadegh's cat and must get up to mischief to try to bring him back from the brink of despair.

It asks: "How do you know when your democracy is threatened"?

On my to-play list: THE DARKEST FILES game (Steam), a detective game about the Nazi trials: “Clues do not themselves deliver justice. You must not only find pieces of truth, but assemble them into a shelter over those targeted by fascism."

That's a wrap for #G4C Festival!

I'm really happy I came to volunteer.

Coming back to this building reminded me of the reasons why I started my Game Designer journey.

It was a pleasure meeting my new connections.

Until next time, Games for Change!

Day 1 of volunteering for #G4C - my recap:

The arcade setup was impressive, and there were a lot of great games to play.

I facilitated sessions of Legless in London, a tabletop game made by Focus Games Ltd

I’m looking forward to what today has to offer!
