Wow! Thanks so much for taking the time to play, and for writing such a great review! It's very well written, and captures the themes we wanted to wrestle with so lucidly.
Post-jam we're going to add in the planned parts that we cut out due to time constraints, fleshing out the themes and polishing the mechanics (including having the narrative respond to how you complete tasks and answer prompts). Hopefully this will solve the issue you identified of certain mechanics not yet being fleshed out!
In terms of theme, I'd add that our imagery of the hydra, and focus on seeing it's writhing, multi-headed machinations, comes from reading the work of the Zapatistas of Chiapas, who this year celebrated 30 years of fighting for a better world for their community—specifically their 2015 seminar series "Critical Thought in the Face of the Capitalist Hydra", the discussions and responses of which can be viewed freely online at Radio Zapatista.
Thanks again! It's our first collaboration and the first time either of us has done a jam, so it's a bit mindblowing to see our work in a review!
