I have actually heard of the hex prior to playing Inscryption. However, I dismissed it at first because it looks like a dorkly style "aren't video games wacky" kind of thing, boy was I wrong. While the gameplay is ok, the story is what makes this game so great, possibly my favorite story from Daniel Mullins. I would even argue I like this game more than Pony Island.

The story is about 6 abandoned video game protagonists in a bar called "the six pint inn", who are trying to find out who is planning a murder. Without spoiling anything too big, the focus is less on the murder and more about the game industry and how it has effected these characters.

While in the inn, the game plays like a point and click, however, once an event happens to a character, a flashback of the game they were from will occur with genre dependent on the character, ranging from Platforrmer, Fighting Game, RPG and more. That may sound like the game is unfocused, but thankfully, the controls make the game feel more cohesive, since you only use WASD and the left mouse button.

The soundtrack by Jonah Senzel is also pretty good songs, such as "Coming in Hot" and "Dustbowl Danny".

Since this is a Daniel Mullins game, there are plenty of
creative fourth wall breaks, secrets, and even an ARG that has a hidden ending in another game.

Overall I highly recommend this game to those who like good stories, hidden secrets or even if you've enjoyed Daniel Mullins other work.

I will give the devs credit in that it is their first game, so hopefully if they make another game it will be better. But this game is just not good. You have all of the characters immediately making the puzzles a joke, combat is even easier since each character has their own health bar and can hold ten health items. The game is filled with obnoxious references everywhere constantly saying "remember this, remember that." The game does get somewhat interesting in the end, but not enough to save it.
