๐Ÿšจ Our demo is now live!

If you've been yearning for a satirical pixel game about being an office project manager with the unfortunate debuff of being British, then...that's odd. But boy have we got the game for you!

Play and let us know what you think -> tinyurl.com/BtHEdemo

My degree touched on this, where I looked specifically at the imposition of slaughterhouses in Vietnam, both as vectors for outbreaks and as important sites of racialisation. 'Slaughterhouse Capitalism' is a very useful term to understand both of these and how they shaped capitalist development.

A red line for Palestine.

Greens gathered on Bournemouth beach this morning to show solidarity with the people of Palestine.

End the genocide
End the occupation.

Enjoy! I couldn't make it (delaying my acquiring of GO merch for now ahah), but I'll be watching the speeches. Hopefully you're right about the voting being pretty noncontroversial!

Will try and binge read it before BtHE is finished to help me freshen up the script and add any new info or insights. Green politics without greenwashing!

To wrap it all up-Oscar, the incredible flying Ostrich by @thomashunt.bsky.social and Renato Baroni. Stunning decorations aside, Oscar himself moves and feels incredible while you're holding the controller, leading to his many stunts feeling very satisfying. Hilariously written, one to look out for

To the right, we had another important game proudly presenting Palestine and support groups-The Activists. While not on itch, the game does an incredible job to put the players in the shoes of people that are capable and want to make a change. Break into a weapons factory and disrupt the status quo

EXTRA special shout out to the two games our stall was sandwiched between, which were both centred themselves around Palestine, with Cagla focusing on the importance of memory and the deep roots of history, while Rebecca considers the necessity of direct action and internationalism.

Check this thread for a quick rundown of some of the great games we exhibited alongside last week! Lots of them are playable on Itch, and more than worth the short time investment to experience:

The two developers, Adam and Dragos, in front of the church the exhibition was held in. They're holding a small flower, which they're both gesturing towards.

The stall that Behind the Hydra's Eyes had at the exhibition. It's set up like an office desk: monitor, keyboard, pens, stapler, a decorative flower, a printer, a calendar on the wall behind. Very drab, very cool!

One of the event's brochures being held in front of a screen showing the game's menu. On the brochure, the following is highlighted: Stall 9, Dragos Farcas & Adam James, Behind the Hydra's Eyes.

A wide photo with our game's stall circled in the middle. Above the stall is a huge stained glass winder. There is another stall to the left and right of ours, each draped in keffiyehs - we were grouped with other left-wing games. Free Palestine!

Aaaand it's over! We've had a very busy, very fun three days exhibiting Behind the Hydra's eyes and mingling with other cool developers.

Thanks to everyone that played it! To everyone else: psst, we're launching the demo on Steam soon ๐Ÿ˜‰

๐ŸšจWe're exhibiting Behind the Hydra's Eyes in person this weekend!

Watching people enjoy it is a very nice shock, and such a privilege to be surrounded by other great games by great people (I'll share some below when I get chance!).

I think (totally unbiased lol) that our game is full of really great writing. The dialogue option that this is part of is probably one of my favourites though.

Living in Britain is pretty brutal, unless you protect yourself with a veil of ignorance. Let the veil fall: fight the hydra, find hope!

Steve Reed was my MP before I moved. He ignored a load of my emails, then replied to one, where I asked if he'll carry out his legal duties to hold Israel to account for genocide, spouting blatant Zionist propaganda and victim blaming the targets of the genocide.

Does this represent Co-op values?

I saw that Tabitha Arnold is exhibiting in NYC next week, and am thinking again about how stunningly breathtaking her tapestries are, capturing a people's history. Very jealous of those privileged enough to see them in person!

Behind the Hydra's Eyes is a satirical office sim with something lurking underneath. If you like your games wordy, experimental, and deeply political, it might just be for you.

Our steam demo is coming soon, so wishlist now!
