Help James solve the mystery of why there is a strand of hair caught in the archive cabinet. It surely can not be his: he is as bald as an eagle, and damn proud of it! Who dared enter his archive behind his back?

Could it be, René, another archivist and his arch-rival, who not only has all his head covered with hair, but is also… French? Not on his watch!

This is the absurd premise i used in my entry for the Narrative Driven Jam #12. The theme was “Asymmetry”.

Although most locations and characters are (somewhat) asymmetric, I think i confused “asymmetry” with “opposites”, because my target what to have “asymmetry”, apparently, between what James and the rest of the cast think regarding the (extremely important) issue of having or lacking hair. It is like thinking that the yin-yang thing is “asymmetric”, when in fact they are totally symmetric….

I other words, i dropped the ball here. However, i was too deep into production to start over, and powered through. I hope that at least it will give some laughs to players.

By the way, i do not have anything against the French people. It is just one more silly detail in an even sillier play.

I also kept a log during development that i published on the jam’s community tab. Not worth much, but i had fun with it, too.
