a cohort of magpies
We’ll go on without them. In libraries, rented-out cathedrals, auditoriums, living rooms. Sometimes together, sometimes apart, we will push on, always working. Our research is a flame that we must protect at all costs. No matter the stakes. It’s up to us now. A Cohort of Magpies is a backdrop for the game Dialect. In it, you play as students and professors, eccentrics and prodigies, fighting to defend your academic field—something strange and beautiful that only you and your colleagues know intimately. This is not a standalone game. To play it, you will need a copy of Dialect, written by Kathryn Hymes and Hakan Seyalıoğlu. You can find that game here.
