The Hex (Video Game)	comment	One dark and stormy night, the bartender at the Six Pint Inn gets a phone call that one of the patrons is planning a murder. He announces this discovery to his six guests, and then the mystery begins as we spend time with each of the six guests, learn more about them, and try to piece together who's planning to kill who and why. The six suspects also all happen to be video game characters, each from a different genre, including platforming, fighting, RPG, and others â€” and each of their respective franchises have crashed and burned in some way. This may be some sort of game world, but the truth behind it may be far more complicated than that would imply.The Hex is a 2018 PC game made by Daniel Mullins. There is absolutely No Fourth Wall, having characters go through identity and existential crises. The game changes genre the longer it goes on, with a central point-and-click structure for the Six Pint Inn segments, and each flashback switching to a different genre of game for each of the different characters, managing to use a unified WASD and left click control scheme for every different style of play.The characters and games are: Super Weasel Kid, the titular protagonist of the Super Weasel Kid Platform Game series. Chef Bryce, a character from Cooking Granny who became a guest fighter in the Fighting Game series Combat Arena X. Chandrelle Stormblaze, a character from Combat Arena X who went on to star in her own fantasy Role-Playing Game, Secrets of Legendaria. Rust McClain, a character from the post-apocalyptic, Wild West, Strategy RPG game Waste World. Lazarus Bleeze, a Space Marine from the Vicious Galaxy top-down shooter series who strangely seems to know Chandrelle. ???, a Heroic Mime from the Environmental Narrative Game / Puzzle Game Walk.As you explore the world of each of these characters, you begin to discover their potential motives for murder, and the decisions that led them to this point. Will you accept the conclusion you are given? Or will you seek out the whole truth... even if you should probably just turn back?There is also Beneath the Surface, a short fishing game serving as a sort of epilogue. In-Universe, it was developed by carla51, a developer mentioned within the original game. It consists of you, a cute little creature in the ice cold, fishing stuff from a hole in the ice. As you catch more fish, you will earn more money you can use to buy upgrades. But is that all there is to this game? Or is there something more... waiting beneath the surface?

The Hex (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77	type	Multiple Endings
The Hex (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77	comment	Multiple Endings: The game has four endings achievable in the last chapter and two in Beneath the Surface. The first ending is achieved when Lazarus shoots Irving and the bartender asks if you are satisfied with the answer to the mystery. If you say yes, the game ends there and the credits roll. If you managed to get the hammer in the Waste World chapter and left the headlamp someplace, then ??? can free Vallamir from his prison and unlock a secret ending where he wreaks havoc in the Six Pint Inn and across the gaming universe. Walk has a default ending where, if you reach the end and go into the white door as prompted, the credits roll, but of the In-Universe developers, Lionel Snill and GameFuna. If you get to the end of Walk and follow the instructions of Jeremiah instead, you get the true ending. It is revealed that Lionel's actual first game was Rootbeer Reggie, but he hated it and had Irving destroy it, driving the angry protagonist to become the scheming bartender. The game ends with him pulling off a ritual to enter the real world and kill Lionel, all thanks to the player. Also, The Stinger shows that Sado escapes as well and is now on the loose. The standard ending of Beneath the Surface occurs if you upgrade your line to the max, then lower your hook all the way. Your hook enters from the top of the screen, and dragging it up pulls the screen upward, with a "Thanks for playing" message appearing. The secret ending of Beneath the Surface has you enter Lionel.exe into the game, which opens a file Lionel asked the dev Carla (his ex) to program as a final request. He has realized that his characters are living beings and explains how he had Irving delete Reggie and his game, then apologizes to Reggie. The game closes- and Sado downloads herself onto your computer.

The Hex (Video Game) / int_29a39f6	comment	Easter Egg: Plenty, both big and small. One example: You can fish up a bottle in Secrets of Legendaria that has a line of code in it which, when entered into your save file, launches a brief Dating Sim parody called Fantasy Island. Also in Secrets of Legendaria, if you complete the ankh quest without cheating (which is quite time consuming), the quest giver is so impressed that they reward you with a new skill, and later a boss fight against them is skipped. Funnily enough, the game doesn't check the locations of the actual ankhs, but instead checks how many you have â€” if you have exactly the requested number, it thinks they're legit. This can lead to hilarious instances where the door says they're all legit, Lazarus comments on how it took forever to get them, and all the while, there's an uncollected ankh right at the player's feet that should be a smoking gun.

Steam reviews are used as platforms in the first chapter, Ninja Props are everywhere, and things like Fighting Game balance, Let's Play streaming, and game mods are legitimate plot points. Also, everyone is aware of you playing the game, and you are addressed directly on multiple occasions. In the end, you are as complicit in Lionel's murder as the game characters who actually kill him. The Player's Steam Friends also exist within the game; having written reviews for Super Weasel Kid and being in the stream chat during Secrets of Legendaria.

The Hex (Video Game) / int_415b3315	type	Stylistic Suck
The Hex (Video Game) / int_415b3315	comment	Stylistic Suck: Present in most of the games. Super Weasel Kid, Combat Arena X, and Secrets of Legendaria all have very simplistic gameplay compared to real games in their genre. They also all have an Excuse Plot. The original Super Weasel Kid and Radical Road are at least well-programmed and liked in-universe. Super Weasel Kid '09: The Revival, however, is a big reference to Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), and just like that game is an invokedObvious Beta with glitches everywhere. Secrets of Legendaria is also riddled with bugs and would require tedious grinding if you didn't exploit them. The tutorial will not stop because Moji keeps healing more than you can hit, the first dungeon is a boring series of hallways and a tedious grindfest with hordes of enemies, the desert has you do an equally boring Fetch Quest, and some puzzles are unsolvable without outside help (which bandito7 is thankfully all to happy to provide). It is also the only game that you explicitly play from start to finish, yet is quite short. Waste World is free of this until the mods start activating. Almost every mod introduces something that clashes with the game's tone (like aliens), some include sloppy dialogue or misspellings, they create plot holes, and most of the levels from that point on would be impossible or near-impossible without activating "cheats". Walk features competent gameplay and production values, but the developer commentary undermines itself and presents the author in a poor light by making him come across as a pretentious, egotistical Jerkass who thinks he's God's gift to gaming.

The Hex (Video Game) / int_47e4f5f5	comment	Golden Ending: Sorta. There is a very very hidden ending to the game that requires completing multiple sidequests, putting together a very long code gained from various ingame aspects and from the names of all of the achievements gotten for crashing each game (and the actual game itself), which you put into a file that you have to create out of game and put into the game's folder which reveals a final conversation between Lionel and Carla. And this is a hint to make you go and download a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT (and free) game off Steam apparently made by Carla about fishing. Upon getting far enough into it, you gain another clue that you use the cypher file you created to figure out one final command that you type into the fishing game. Doing so puts you into an unfinished version of the final segment of Walk where Lionel reveals the truth about what he did to Reginald and why. At the end you find that he recreated Rootbeer Tender in 3D and states that he misses Reginald. After this, the game crashes as Sado.exe "downloads" itself onto your computer...

The Hex (Video Game) / int_4b1ca7d2	comment	Genre Roulette: The game constantly switches game genre and play style, with everyone using a point-and-click set up during the Six Pint Inn sections, and switching to their game's style of play upon starting their given flashback. Super Weasel Kid is a 2D Platform Game, complete with hopping on enemies to defeat them, spike pits, and secrets in the clouds. Combat Arena X is a classic 2D Fighting Game that includes special hidden moves alongside basics like low, mid, and high attacks, blocks, and dodges. Secrets of Legendaria is a full blown Role-Playing Game with a The Legend of Zelda set-up. Waste World is set in a Fallout or Wasteland style setting, though it's not a normal Western RPG and instead a turn-based Strategy Game. Vicious Galaxy is a top down Shoot 'Em Up, even working in a homage segment to Hotline Miami, complete with breaking down doors to topple enemies. Walk is an Environmental Narrative Game that particularly parodies The Beginner's Guide. The Rootbeer Tender segment is a reference to Tapper.

The Hex (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: There are some pretty big ones if you do the side quests for the cat woman during Super Weasel Kid, in which she hints towards major twists only explored in the ending. She reveals that the game was built on the "ashes" of another (Rootbeer Tender), and tells of a prophecy of the revenge of Reginald/Rootbeer Reggie (the bartender) and the opening of the titular Hex (a portal to the real world so Reggie can kill his creator). Some of Weasel Kid's early dialogue. He recognizes Lazarus, and he seems to recognize a crashed ship in the basement as belonging to someone named Jeremiah we haven't met yet. It makes far more sense during Vicious Galaxy. The order you play the characters is the same order as their games were made. You control Reginald briefly at the very beginning before switching to Weasel Kid.

There's also a heavy amount of reused sound and visual effects from Pony Island, and on top of that, the most obvious link between the two games comes in Waste World, where Louie himself makes an appearance- and if you have the Old Ticket item, a clear reference to the Tickets you'd gather in Pony Island, he allows you to change the graphics of the wasteland tactics game to something a bit more 'friendly'.

However, Rust himself will remain oblivious to the fact that he has at least one other Rocky still left â€” after all, we do need to keep the plot going.

Chandrelle has a giant sword in her room, and a strange letter talking about a ritual. The sword is Lazarus' old blade and a memento, while the letter details a deal to get rid of the demon inside her. Rust is clearly the most suspicious character, what with the knife he carries around. After his segment, it becomes clear he's not even in on the deal. Lazarus might be on a wanted poster in the kitchen, suggesting he's been up to something. Subverted as he is wanted for his part in a horrible crime and kills Irving later, BUT those killings weren't the planned murders mentioned at the start of the game. Unrelated to the main mystery, but the Super Weasel Kid segment suggests that Mr. Shrewd was killed by Mr. Squarrel. If you manage to get Mr. Shrewd's glasses through a three segment process, it's revealed that Mr. Shrewd just died of old age, and Mr. Squarrel was his lover. He spiraled into depression because of this, resulting in his mean attitude in his other appearances. It's implied that Mr. Shrewd was killed off by Lionel when his pet shrew died in real life.

He was originally from a game called Cooking Granny, a pretty clear Bland-Name Product for Cooking Mama. Chandrelle is somewhere between a gender flipped version of Link from The Legend of Zelda and Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII. Rust McClain would be right at home in Fallout, down to his son Rocky looking just like a Super Mutant. Lazarus is initially a heavy from the JRPG of your choice, and is later repurposed into a very Warhammer 40,000 looking space marine. ??? is the faceless non-character of a walking simulator, specifically The Beginner's Guide. ???'s section also features a segment of gameplay reminiscent of Quake II.

The Hex (Video Game) / int_f642b1f9	comment	If you get to the end of Walk and follow the instructions of Jeremiah instead, you get the true ending. It is revealed that Lionel's actual first game was Rootbeer Reggie, but he hated it and had Irving destroy it, driving the angry protagonist to become the scheming bartender. The game ends with him pulling off a ritual to enter the real world and kill Lionel, all thanks to the player. Also, The Stinger shows that Sado escapes as well and is now on the loose.

The Hex (Video Game) / int_f909b16b	comment	Dark Secret: invoked Lionel made a game before Super Weasel Kid called Rootbeer Tender and became ashamed of it after his second game became a huge hit. So, Irving crippled Reggie and buried his game so nobody would find out about Lionel's earlier work.

The Hex (Video Game) / int_fb3576b2	comment	The Dog Bites Back: Bryce tries this against Irvingâ€¦ and it doesn't go well. Lazarus succeeds. Carla also succeeds in getting back at Lionel through Sado, her actions possibly creating the situation Rootbeer Reggie needed to make his plan succeed.

The Hex (Video Game) / int_fc25c2fb	type	Cruelty Is the Only Option
The Hex (Video Game) / int_fc25c2fb	comment	Cruelty Is the Only Option: There are several instances where the player is forced to do something awful to proceed. In general, you have to help Reginald carry out his destructive revenge plot to get the true ending. In the finale of Bryce's story, Irving will attack Bryce, and hitting back will cause Bryce to unintentionally strike and possibly kill his own grandmother â€” but even if you know what will happen, you have to take the action anyway to progress the plot. In Secrets of Legendaria, you have to give the 3 Orbs of Power to Vallamir and have him destroy the game world. Also, in the tutorial, you have to use your spells to kill Moji, the Ridiculously Cute Critter and tutorial character, or else his tutorial will never end. At the very end of Waste World, you are given control of Sado and are prompted to shoot Rust â€” you must do so or the section will not end. Downplayed in Vicious Galaxy â€” at one point, Lazarus and Moji Jr. will come across some surrendering enemies. You are given the order to kill them anyway â€” you can choose not to, but Junior will gun them down himself and call you a pussy. Either way, they die.
