What The Hex is
The Hex is an indie game developed by Daniel Mullins Games and released in 2018. It is available on Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
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.
How it plays
It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are mystery. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 28 achievements to unlock.
