About The Hex

About this game

In a creaky old tavern, in a forgotten corner of the video game universe, a storm is raging. The barkeep gets a patchy phone call. It's hard to tell what the caller is saying, but this much is clear: someone in The Six Pint Inn is planning a murder.

There are six patrons; all of them are video game protagonists trying to escape their past... But The Six Pint Inn has a way of bringing back old memories. Each flashback plays out in an entirely different genre, sometimes blending multiple. By exploring these memories you may discover the identity of the murderer... or you may learn much darker secrets.

In The Hex you will...

  • Control the six patrons and explore The Six Pint Inn
  • Delve into the memories of these cast-aside game protagonists to learn the truth of their past
  • Learn the identity of the would-be murderer... as well as the victim


The Hex takes roughly 6 hours to complete on the first playthrough.

Eurogamer Italy

80 / 100
"An eclectic and unconventional videogame, which combines a rather original game structure to a salacious and sarcastic self-mockery."

Destructoid

70 / 100
"The Hex is a really solid game that does a lot of very creative things. It’s definitely worth the asking price. However, it certainly won’t set your loins on fire and leave you...

SpazioGames

91 / 100
"The Hex is a brilliant game that mixes six different genres: it is a shooter, a walking simulator, a fighting game, a classic JRPG, a platform, a tactical RPG and a surreal...

This game was beautiful. Wildly unique, it almost reminded me of absurd theatre. Very meta, outlandish, and a great example of how games can be art.

This game is incredibly creative and I was amazed by the amount of depth that went into it. Unfortunately the main reason I played it was not due to the game itself but instead the Daniel Mullins lore. I'm not sure if I would have played through the game otherwise.

If you liked another game by the same developer called 'Inscryption' then you'll like this game too. This game is like 5-6 game genres combined together. Fun and great. 10/10

Very creative story! At the begging I thought it was a point and click adventure. But soon new elements from other games are added. And more elements from yet another game. And more, and more! The game changes it rules and you have no chance to get bored. The history is interesting and creative.

I dont want to spoil anything because this game was such a unique experience. But I can say I now closely follow the developer on all socials and have played their other releases, I was REALLY impressed. The hex takes such a cool approach to story telling and I wish i could experience it for the first time agian
