Why is this game so obscure?

I genuinely think it’s the best in terms of the 3 retail games Mullins has created (in very close contest with Inscryption, but I think this game is just way more creative with secrets, comedy, and horror. That’s just my opinion though). Knowing how popular Pony Island and Inscryption are, it’s shocking how nobody talks about this game. Why is that? Is it because of the artstyle turning people off? Because that’s the only thing I could think would be stopping people from enjoying this game.

i genuinely don't think most people even know... 1. what it is, and 2. that it exists...

The Artstyle is ugly on purpose, it’s all in service of the story. Seriously play it, the story is mind blowing

I think the idea of "Murder mystery" is boring, but "Breaking out of a broken, devil-made machine" sounds really cool.

Also, no big youtubers seemed to have played The Hex, which may play a role.


I agree that The Hex is the best one of the three, (for now, at least)

Love the storytelling the game has, but it lacks some quality of life that could help with pacing.

Start of the game has a lot of dialog to sift through and the dialog system is easily one of the roughest parts. Was pretty common for me to start dialog I didn't need to see again and get stuck waiting for it to conclude to progress with starting more dialog with someone else. The text speed in the options menu is not a great solution sadly as sometimes I need the dialog to stay on screen a bit longer. I feel letting a button push control the text speed or instantly fill the current dialog box would be a very nice addition and go a long way to make the game feel more user friendly. Gameplay sections feel really good, so I'd rather speak praise to anything else besides the text based dialog system.

The game could use a tweak to the text based dialog system to leave a better first impression.
