Hex Judge

Hex Judge is a single-player narrative investigation game set in a small medieval village gripped by rumors of witchcraft. As the inquisitor sent to uncover the truth, you question villagers, compare their testimonies, watch for suspicious behavior and decide who is guilty before sunset. The truth is uncertain, and your judgments shape both the accused’s fate and the village’s future.

Investigate the villagers

Each investigation begins by selecting a suspect. You gather information through conversations, look for contradictions between testimonies and build suspicion from evidence and behavior before delivering a final judgment.

Each playthrough randomly selects six suspects from a larger cast. Their personalities, relationships, suspicions and hidden motives change between runs, producing different investigation scenarios and dialogue interactions. The game includes AI-assisted dynamic interrogation dialogue and AI-generated epilogues based on the outcome of each trial.

Create your village

The Villager Editor lets you customize suspects’ names, portraits, ages and personalities. Relationships, testimonies, investigations and endings continue to function with customized villagers, creating new stories and deduction scenarios.

Story and presentation

Your choices determine the story’s outcome, with multiple endings. Hex Judge uses retro 80s-inspired pixel art, and each playthrough takes an estimated 20–40 minutes.
