HWAET! There Is a Friend-Shaped Hole at the Center of Everything!
In this Scholarly Translation Simulation, you will translate the epic poems of these adorable capys into English, because we haven't learned our lesson when it comes to writing poetry as a game mechanic. For this Unplaytested game, Lara and Alex, with guest scholar Ash Cheshire, look into the world of Dire Capybaras, the friend-shaped warriors who traveled the world, fought monsters, and wrote epic poetry.   Listen to us make this game! Watch us play this game! -- Important Note: As you might expect, this game is presented as-is: it's an unplaytested draft, and we have no idea what it will be like in the long-term.
