The Hex is a unique adventure set in a creaky old tavern known as The Six Pint Inn, which serves as a haunting backdrop for a tale of mystery and memories.

Inside the inn, six patrons—each a forgotten video game protagonist—are desperate to escape the shadows of their past.

As players delve into the intertwining stories, they control each of these characters, navigating through their fragmented memories that celebrate and critique various video game genres. Each flashback not only reveals their history but also sheds light on the darker secrets that lurk within the inn. The challenge lies in piecing together the narrative to uncover the identity of the would-be murderer, as well as the victim.

The Hex promises an intriguing blend of exploration and investigation, with a playtime of approximately six hours for your first journey through this nostalgic landscape. As the story unfolds, players may grapple with personal motivations and past regrets, making the experience both haunting and thought-provoking.
