This is an odd one. It's good, sort of, but something about it just didn't feel right. The homages to specific games, genres, developers and the gaming zeitgeist as a whole were well done and often elicited a chuckle. It just wasn't very fun to actually play.

You can see the design ethos that would lead to the excellent Inscryption much clearer than in his previous title, Pony Island. This was definitely a stepping stone for Mullins as a creative. However, Inscryption does basically everything The Hex was going for but much better, and crucially, there is an enjoyable game balanced with the meta Mullins-ness.
