About This Game

Hex Code is a short psychological horror game about a job that slowly stops being yours.

It's your first day at desk 07. Your predecessor is gone, but their tickets, their passwords and a scheduled task called rutina are still here. Close the ticket, clock out, go home. You can do that.

Three moments, one room. Switch between yesterday, today and tomorrow in the same scene. Yesterday shows what happened at this desk. Tomorrow shows what is going to happen whether you like it or not. What you see in one moment, you type in another — there is no inventory, only what you remember.

A game that disobeys. At first it does what you ask. Then it starts to hesitate. Then it chooses for you. Every click is a small negotiation with something that is learning how you play.

Features

  • A single office that changes across three timelines, then a home and a street

  • Puzzles solved by observing and typing, never by collecting items

  • A routine that adapts to how you play, with randomized days on every run

  • Four endings, decided by how much you resist

  • Hand-drawn handwriting, a monitor and a phone you actually use

  • Available in English, Spanish, French and Brazilian Portuguese

Content warning: flickering images, screen distortion and themes of dissociation and loss of control.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some pre-generated content in this game was made with the help of generative AI and then edited and curated by the developer: the character silhouettes were cut out from an AI-generated character sheet; parts of the in-game writing, the English, French and Brazilian Portuguese translations and the store text were drafted with an AI assistant; and the procedural art and sound effects are drawn and synthesized by code written with an AI coding assistant. The game does not generate any content with AI while you play.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Psychological horror with no graphic violence or gore. It deals with themes of dissociation, loss of identity and loss of control. Contains flickering images and screen distortion effects (they can be reduced in Settings).
