The Hex

It's another strange, plot-driven game from Mullins and in that way it succeeds because it's interesting, you never know where it's going to go and it dissects games in a fun way. In terms of gameplay it is pretty uninspired: putting multiple genres in a game is neat, I enjoy that, but some of them are incredibly simplistic to the point of not being entertaining... and they drag on. Lots to dig up if you want a story, not the most thrilling to actually play, buries the story under tedium.

has much more variety than pony island, and is much more unpredictable in its second half, which this sort of thing needs. still, i wish daniel didn't chuck in that borderline creepypasta steam/twitch shit; it's tacky and juvenile and makes everything ugly. eh. i don't know why this has nowhere near the popularity of his debut, but i suppose pony island had that sort of meme status where top youtubers raked in big bux screaming at the thing for 15 minutes and noone ended up caring who made it.
