About the 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.

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Updated translations for Japanese and Simplified Chinese
Slower dialogue speed for Japanese and made the slowest dialogue speed option slower across all languages
Fixed: Simplified Chinese localized sprite in Lazarus' flashback was appearing while the game's language was set to English
Huge thanks to the localization team for continuing to edit and fine tune the translation!
Thank you so much to @hymg000, @plcube, and @gyunyu_5959 for their work in translating the many lines of text in The Hex to Japanese.
And many thanks to Thomas De Coster (@linkyen1) for the Dutch localization!
This patch also fixed an embarrassing options menu bug and fixed a bug that had been introduced with a prior patch that broke the ARG secrets trail! Thank you to @Flemmonade_ for pointing that out (and check out his YouTube channel!)
To everyone who has played The Hex, I thank you again!

Thank you to Kamila Makowska for the fantastic Polish localization.
See you in The Six Pint.
Thanks again to Farhad Alishov for his excellent translation work as well as for his work in adding cyrillic characters to the many fonts of the game. I can't overstate how much work is involved in localizing this crazy game.

I can’t 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!

- Added small EXP bars in Chandrelle's flashback to show how close a character is to the next level.
- Fixed: Tarot cards getting erased when using chapter select. Now you can have "The Inn" card read without hacking the save.
- Fixed: It was possible to screw up your save file by killing all the pixel raiders in Rust's flashback with the secret cheats.
- Fixed: Some older dialogue from Chandrelle in the Six Pint that gave the wrong directions to her guest room.
- Fixed: An issue in Lazarus' chapter in the scene where Super Weasel Kid is beneath the surface.
- Other minor bug fixes and improvements.
Thanks for playing!
