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 this tavern is planning a murder.
There are six patrons of the tavern; all of them are video game genre protagonists gone astray. There's The Spacemarine, The Sorceress, The Platformer, The Fighter, The Apocalypse Survivor, and The First Person Perspective. By exploring their memories you may discover the identity of the murderer... or you may find a much darker secret.

In The Hex you will...

Control the six patrons to explore the dark and enigmatic tavern
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

This game is about as indie as it gets.

The first localization patch is live! French, Italian, Turkish, German, and Spanish!

It was a huge undertaking that spanned months, but I am happy to announce that The Hex is now playable in French, Italian, Turkish, German and Spanish.

I cant be more thankful to the localization team. They dealt with over 3500 lines of text including riddles, poems, cryptic messages, and more. Most of the dialogue is riddled with codes that control the playback in-game and the team had to accurately translate these as well as the source text. That's [w:0.3][t:0.05]-ahem [w:0.3][t:0]correct. is an example of one of these.

You can thank these fine people for making it all happen:

Italian - Marcello Brancaccio
French - Enzo Doyen
Turkish - Berke O. YILMAZ (Secundus)
German - Christian Hecklinger
Spanish - Luis Redin Ochoa (Fusti)
Russian - Farhad Alyshov

An extra thanks to Farhad for his dedication to making sure the localized fonts were faithful to their original versions. His Russian translation is nearly complete so expect it some time in the near future!

For those who have waited to play The Hex in their language, I hope you enjoy!
