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...

Great game, it was like a meglomash of games all in one. There were some chess aspects, FPS, strategy and loads of other genres. It had a rail like feel to it but it was pleasant and actually had an ending, which is always great. The game also pays some homage to older games I played as a child which was awesome
