In a creaky old tavern, in a forgotten corner of the video-game universe, a storm is raging. An anonymous caller suggests that there is a murder plot. Six video game protagonists are the only plausible suspects...

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Updated translations for Japanese and Simplified ChineseSlower dialogue speed for Japanese and made the slowest dialogue speed option slower across all languagesFixed: Simplified Chinese localized sprite in Lazarus' flashback was appearing while the game's language was set to EnglishHuge thanks to the localization team for continuing to edit and fine tune the translation!
It’s always nostalgic for me to revisit The Hex but this time it was made sweeter by working alongside the Hex Hanslation group: a team of ultra-talented fans who brought this localization to life. I can’t thank them enough for their hard work. https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/27653594/f0522b43e9a2ab35583b452657c95c9014c549ff.png The team includes: LemonBomb, Meow_meow, YazawaAkiOS, KurakaCJ, North_North, mushr00m, Red0228, Lil_Catt猫猫桑, evilmoth, Frimance, chocho997, Delicia, AlerHughe$ and 8012white To those new players who are now able to play The Hex: enjoy! - Daniel The beautiful
Boom. I hope you like what you see! In some ways Panda Circus is more similar to The Hex than Inscryption. Multiple game genres will be explored, mixed, hacked to bits, and then put back together into a Frankenstein's Monster. If you want to be notified when the game comes out you can wishlist it here on Steam or join the mailing list. Thanks so much for playing The Hex :) The true DM Games homies live here. - Daniel
It feels a weird to patch this game after all this time but how could I not when fine folks step up offering to translate it into their languages? 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 everyo
INSCRYPTION. IS. HERE. If you're here because you played The Hex, thank you so very much. I hope you like this next game! ːstimulationː (Cover art by CarpetCrawler)
Spooky deck-builder Inscryption has drawn and played another trailer to tease you into its weird mashup of card, critters, escape rooms, and like five other genres probably. Brewing up a genre stew is apparently something of a thing for developer Daniel Mullins Games who you may know from past games Pony Island and The Hex. A new trailer for Inscryption lets on that it’ll be just as wild a ride when it launches in 2021. (more…)
Feast your eyes... The Steam page is up and you can wishlist Inscryption here! Thank you very much for your support and for playing The Hex. I believe Inscryption will provide a similarly bizarre and surprising journey.
Looking at that header, Inscryption (official site) seems predictable enough. A decent deck-building dungeon crawler, not too dissimilar to Slay The Spire, eh? It’s even got some of that extremely-online black humour going on. But this is developer Daniel Mullins we’re talking about, the bloke wot brought us harrowing genre-busters Pony Island and The Hex. Don’t expect Incryption’s “inky black card-based odyssey” to play nicely. (more…)
Thanks to the excellent work of @StdBlueBowling (represented by Michelle "Mitty" Finholdt and Jefferson "Jereffer" Santos) The Hex is now playable in Brazilian Portuguese. Thank you to Kamila Makowska for the fantastic Polish localization. See you in The Six Pint.
You can now play The Hex in Russian. Enjoy! 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. If you’d like to see your language in The Hex and want to try your hand at localizing it, please email me at daniel.mullins.games@gmail.com Cheers - Daniel
Thank you for being so patient. The Russian localization for The Hex is nearly complete and will be released shortly after the Summer Sale.
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 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 -ahem correct.” is an example of one of these. You can thank these fine people for making it all happen: Italian - Marcello Brancaccio French -
The doors have been opened, the games inside have been devoured, and now it’s time to recycle the cardboard. Below you’ll find all of our picks for the best PC games of 2018, gathered together in a single post for easy reading. (more…)
We ask the tough questions here at RPS. We re like Jeremy Paxman but in a very long bear costume. We once asked 15 developers what they d do if they were stuck in a room with a clone of themselves. This is important stuff. Today, we ask another question: What would you gift the games industry for the holidays? We put this query to a bunch of game artists, writers and designers to see how charitable they were feeling. Today, you get to open these presents. Happy holidays! (more…)
Look out. The year 2018 is going down in a storm. There are hundreds of games aboard, running, jumping, trying their best to survive the maelstrom. But there s only one tiny lifeboat, and only enough room for three games. It falls on the sorry shoulders of the RPS podcast, the Electronic Wireless Show, to decide which trio of games clamber onto the life raft and which games drown and become lost to history. (more…)
