It's like if Lost and Wreck-It Ralph had a baby. Absolutely recommend, but I'm not sure if you should play this game or Inscryption first. Edit after finishing the game once: The Hex is a game that's more culturally relevant and poignant now than it was when it first came out, and as of this review, it hasn't even been a decade since then. If you want a game that has a perfect blend of commentary and satire about the video game industry, this is the game for you, even if you don't plan on following the Daniel Mullins mythos through Pony Island or Inscryption.

Fun underrated middle child of the Daniel Mullins games :D not a lot of gameplay, but a lot of lore and a lot of creativity. Would recommend :3

This is not a game. It's not a murder mystery. It's not a platformer. It's not an FPS. It's not a turn-based Final Fantasy game. It's not a Stanley Parable styled walking simulator. I do not know what this is. But I recommend finding out.

this is probably daniel's most underrated game, and strongest narrative and theme-wise (imo at least)

Jan. 2025

The Hex is an incredibly ambitious and unique game by famed indie developer Daniel Mullins. They produce games known for their complex meta narratives, fourth wall breaking and unexpected game play twists, and The Hex is no exception to this. Especially the latter is extremely present in this case: far from a singular gaming experience, this is a combination of wildly varying genres and tropes, stringed together by a complex non-linear narrative with multiple twists and turns. There are moments when it almost becomes a study of game genres and techniques, nudging the player to question their preconceived notions of game design. The story itself is thrilling, strange and even flirts with horror at times. Due to the sheer scale of this project, the individual quality of each new game play section isn't necessarily always up to the same high standard. Moreover, there are slight pacing issues as some parts last longer than they need to. These sporadic quality and pacing problems aside, The Hex is still a wonderful and captivating experience, filled to the brim with wild ideas. 9/10
