The Story
Magic power comes at a grave cost—a mage can only expend so much magic in her lifetime, and when she runs out, her soul is destroyed and her body becomes susceptible to demonic possession. The more powerful the mage, the more power is at the command of the demon who possesses her body.
When a powerful mage conjures a desperate firestorm to save her homeland, expelling all her magical energy, a lowly succubus manages to take control of her body. At first, the succubus can’t believe her luck; power she never could have dreamed of was finally hers for the taking.
But, against all odds, the former soul still lingers. Whatever miracle or secret of magic she used, this disembodied soul still clings to its shell, and threatens to bend the succubus to her will.
Gameplay and Features
HEX is an erotic visual novel and text-based game with RPG, sandbox, and simulation elements.
- Fight with an arsenal of spells. Fight enemies by using a variety of interesting spells with unique effects in fast-paced, strategic turn-based battles. Spells can also be used to solve various problems outside of combat.
- Fuck and flirt with everyone. Have tons of hot sex with a variety of NPCs in a variety of different ways, both to restore magical energy, to earn money as a prostitute, or just to watch your "roommate" squirm.
- Explore a reactive world. NPCs will react to your reputation, your state of dress, and your level of hygiene. The weather, time of day, and even the moon will affect the power of your spells. Your actions and decisions will be reflected in the story and world around you.
- Create and share servants online for fun and profit. Hex features an asynchronous online multiplayer system where players can create and customize NPC servants that will visit other players online to engage in business and pleasure.
Fetishes and Kinks in HEX
HEX features a variety of kinks and fetishes, with many more planned to be included in the future. The main focus of the game is exhibitionism and voyeurism as well as corruption mostly in regard to the second soul the protagonist shares a body with.
The game also includes (or is planned to include) the following:
- vaginal, anal, and oral sex
- foot fetish content
- lesbian sex (optional)
- gangbang and group sex content (optional)

Is this dead
No. I had some health issues so I had to take some time off from both games, but I just did a big SS update and I’m releasing a patron-exclusive update for this game in a few days.
Hex will get a massive update and I plan to sort of “relaunch” it soon.
:0 glad to see that. And hope you get better soon
I love the buddy-cop vibe between Iris and Melia
Ngl hearing polish in the tavern at 2:30 am kinda scared me
how do you go to ranbol
It’s not in the game yet.
oh.
any idea when the next update is coming? no pressure though!
Patrons will be getting a (relavitvely small) update on the next few weeks sometime. Currently I’m transitioning from an alpha stage of development to regular content development, which means I have to make more or less permanent decisions on a ton of things that will effect development for the years ahead, plus I want to rebrand and re-release the game, plus I want to add a ton of new content for the first regular release, so the next free edition release may still be a long while.
That said, patrons will get periodic small updates to the alpha as I work on the regular releases, and maybe some of those can come to the free edition if it’s taking too long.
thanks for answering :) Will the rebrand change things a lot? I like the way the world is right now, but I trust any change you make will be good. Big fan of SS as well
Thanks! I’m glad you like SS too. That game is getting an update very soon.
I’m just changing the name of the game, some of the logos and the color scheme. Changes to game content as it is right now will be fairly minimal, though I do want to change the names and terms for some stuff related to the the game’s setting/lore. As it stands, I think saves from the alpha will probably carry over, so that’s how similar everything is planned to be.
I liked SS quite a lot, so I gave Hex a shot. It's very promising, with all those improved and polished mechanics, thanks for the awesome work. As the game is still in the early stages, I have some feedback:
What I really like:
- The ideas of the combat system
- Being able to skip known dialogues with holding down space
- The interaction with Meila is hilarious!
- The action hotkeys make for smooth playing. Once one has some hands free, if you know what I mean
Problems I encountered:
- Asset loading in the browser version is really flaky. Character images load just fine, but backgrounds almost never show up and icons mostly just show the "missing image" hint. I felt no differenct between having CDN on or off. I tried Chromium as well as Firefox and LibreWolf. Yes, I have ad blocking and strict privacy settings enabled, the internet is barely usable (and quite unsafe) without those.
- Fighting balance is a bit at odds. I can still defeat every enemy with the dagger only when I'm out of MP, but it's extremely tedious as it takes minutes of repeatedly using attack and deflect.
Personal taste (and personal taste only):
- Why do the chars - especially the MC, especially when masturbating - look so young? In my oppinion the cuteness factor is too high, some visuals come close to child xxx
- What happened to "hang around in the tavern, naked", one of my favourite p(ass)times? :D
Thank you for your detailed feedback!
For the asset loading issues, I’m working on improving this in a few different ways! I think expanding the CDN is probably the way to go, even though you said that didn’t seem to help much, I think the issue has to do with the number of simultaneous downloads, not the speed. Basically browsers limit how many downloads a single domain can have going at once, and I believe that’s the issue here, I just have too many files for the number of domains I am using (1 without the CDN, 2 with it). Anyway, I do think I can fix this, it’s just an infrastructure issue.
For balance, the biggest plan I have right now is to allow players to give up so you can just take the L when you run out of resources instead of having to try to use the dagger. I am open to other suggestions though. I like the focus on magic and MP, and there are abilities that can help you generate more MP, so I’m loathe to just buff the dagger, but that is an option.
For the art, we did, as a design goal, want to make the art cute. I don’t think the characters look that young aside from having big heads and eyes, but we are trying to be careful and make sure nothing looks too problematic. It’s possible to go back and touch up the existing art in the future to make sure that it doesn’t look like that. I think the masturbation pose is potentially just an issue of the perspective, but I’ll take your opinion into consideration and review all the art when I have time. Just to clarify though, all of the characters are instended to be adults, with Meila/Iris in particular meant to be in at least her mid-twenties.
You can go to the tavern nude, though it doesn’t do a whole lot yet. To unlock leaving the house naked, you can go bathe in the lake at the shore, eventually someone will snatch your clothes, after this event, if you also have enough experience with exhibitionism, Meila will let you leave the chapel naked!
Thanks again for all the feedback!
There's nothing wrong with having cute art. The people who automatically think of kids in adult art are the weird ones.
is there any..."defeat" hentai scenes? I'm curious...
nah
alright- =P
How do I unlock nudist and nude beach?
I did it recently it is at the bandit camp it might happen after what roy asks you to help with but yeah that's it just bathe in the lake
umm.......how to play 2players??
help me
super hot I love the artstyle. Will there be any selfcest content planned for Iris and Melia?
Yeah, a spoiler.
I loved the story of SS, so I'm trying Hex out, and so far am loving how the MC interacts with Meila. That being said, I've just spoken with Gemma and need to head to Ranbol inn, but I can't see how to get there? There isn't a travel option.
Am I just of too low a level, being level 4, or has it yet to unlock?
Nah thats the end of this verson
Ah, alright, thanks. Time to wait and look forward to updates on either game.
ss from what i seen is done and hes moving to hex full time
Really love this game and i wanted to ask where can i find the music for this game.
Wait can we make meila like suck a cock or fuck someone or something it would be so cool
Stuff like this is planned for the future, but Meila is the slow burn “corruption” part of the game, so I plan to take my time with it, starting with stuff like the masturbation scene with her, then I plan to add some interactions to the throne realm. Eventually you’ll be able to bring love interested to the throne realm and also have her interact with your servant.
HELL YEAAAAAAAA but like when would that update come?
Excited for Meila corruption!
Please make this for android
Is it actually multiplayer?
Yes and no. The only part where “multiplayer” comes in is in throne realm, where the servant moves from this player to another. You can give the servant an item, which the servant will sell in the other player’s realm, bringing money back to you. The dev won’t add any chat or sth due to groomer and such. More detail on the development log, the oldest one
I can’t “defeat the bandit” (in the prolounge)
Is the throne realm available on browser version? I've reached the end where you must go to Ranbol and I can't find the throne realm. Is it download exclusive or patreon only?
The throne realm is accessible after reaching level 2 and completing the first quest. To trigger it for the first time, you need to sleep at the chapel after meeting these conditions.
Oh alright, i've never slept in the game so i guess that's why, thanks!
sleep
I really like the game but am not certain if I'm going to follow it or contribute. I played a ton of Succubus Stories and found out last night while trying to start the last mission to fight Rachael that the ending chapter wasn't completed. I don't know if I'm just jaded from playing this genre so much and seeing a ton of games I loved end up being abandoned and unfinished or what but I don't really understand why dev would make a whole new game instead of just completing the previous one they made. Especially since it's so close to being done. Makes me leary to play anything from the dev. If the other game gets done I'll come back to this one since it's like an upgraded version of the other.
I’m not doing a perfect job of it, but I’m working on both games at the same time as I transition from SS to Hex. That SS is almost done is exactly the reason why I’m transitioning to Hex as my main project.
The discord inv didn't work
bro watafack
👀
Why cant I see the scences on browerser mode?
It could be a number of things, like the browser you’re using or your Internet connection. In general the game is rather hefty in terms of assets and loading each scene may take time. If assets appear to be missing, refreshing the page may help.
hi when is the next upd?
Make it for android please i want IT So much
I enjoyed IT when i played IT in browser but i can not download IT bcs i have android i JUST need IT
You can use the joiplay app to play the offline browser version on android! More info: https://outsiderartisan.miraheze.org/wiki/JoiPlay
does it end main quest after meeting gemma?
There are three quests and the throne realm in this version. You can technically do three of the four things in any order, but Gemma is likely yo be the last thing you end up finding/doing.
If the description hadn't sold this game to me, the fact that this is being made by the maker of Succubus Stories would've. Excited to give it a shot!
pretty good. It ends after meeting the little girl right?
There’s 3 quests you can complete (check the goals/completed goals to see completed quests) and the throne realm stuff. Once you’ve seen all of that, that’s all the main story content.
Oh hey an H game that actually tries to make gameplay fun and interesting! That's getting harder and harder to find, I'm looking forward to giving it a shot.
:) Thanks! I hope you enjoy it!
Finished playing it (for now still have some content to check out)really cool game, and I love the interactions between the two main characters, bit of a strange question but does the offline browser version work with joiplay on mobile?
Woops just scrolled through the comments and realized you already answered that question never mind, anyway great game looking forward to seeing where it goes!
Great stuff! A few issues I've found (that you might already be aware of): Defending on a potato computer is an absolute wash (executing a perfect block requires pressing space before the circles are visible), and screen calibration, from what I can tell, simply exacerbates the issue. I'm not sure if there's much to do on your end about that, though.
More importantly, reloading saves during a fight in 0.0.7a (if the save is just before the boss dialog, at least) can lead to wonky unintended results. For example, you can lose the HP/MP bar for both Iris and the enemy, the Attack box can show up before the boss dialog is finished, and, if you managed to reload just before the Tidal Attack, the fight may(?) start with the boss having boosted stats and/or executing the attack on turn 1 - though it's kind of hard to tell with the HP bars missing. I noticed this with Roy in particular; didn't try it with the others as I got used to the idiosyncrasies of blocking afterward. For me, the only solution was to close out the program itself and reload from there.
Not sure if the above is simply due to me trying to run Hex on a computer that can barely keep up with the game, but thought I'd let you know.
I’ll look into this, thanks. In general loading saves and refreshing the browser during combat seems to work for me, but I’ll try to see if I can reproduce this. Can you tell me what browser you were using, or was this in the Windows version?
As for the deflection interaction, I’m aware of issues with it, and it’s a mid-term goal for me to improve the performance of it.
This was the Windows version. It's been awhile, but for me the trick was usually to refresh and load right after the boss used their special move. I believe this was also with a save that is as close to the boss fight as possible. Again, not sure if it was just my pos computer that's causing the issue because it can't keep up with what's going on and leaving data in some kind of buffer.
Itch does says the game was updated 3 days ago ; but I don't see any patch note anywhere, so I am curious if anything changed/got added!
(spooky season stuff maybe?)
No, sorry, nothing like that. I just made a few small changes to the page itself.
Don't be sorry, and thanks for the heads up !
Is there a way to get to the ranbol inn ? Can't find it.
Hi! You can’t progress to Ranbol yet, that’ll be in a future update. If you’ve completed all three quests, then that’s the end of the story content for now.
Can I add Android?
The web verison of the game is mobile friendly and the offline browser version is compatible with apps like JoiPlay.
What are the different sex styles, what do they do and how do you obtain them?
I plan to redo this entire system and replace it with a progression system where instead of having a single style, you can just level all the styles and gain various abilities.
As it is currently implemented, the way it works is based on the actions you take. For example, you gain “submissive” points for doing service actions and prioritizing your partner orgasming, while you gain “selfish” points for focusing on the selfish options and prioritizing your own orgasms. You can become dominant by using a lot of teasing actions, and by giving partners ruined orgasms with teasing. Using teasing in combination with other actions to make partners orgasm efficiently with the fewest number of actions per orgasm makes you “slutty” though I may change this to “skilled” in the future. You can be “romantic” by making both parties orgasm in unison and balancing the number of orgasms, and using the normal/untyped moves.
The overall sexual style you get is just whichever one has the most points. It doesn’t do anything in this version of the game, and like I said, I’m going to redesign it. When I do, you’ll unlock passive and active abilities and be able to just freely level up all the styles. For example, I plan to make dominant players able to edge partners to boost the potion chances/quality. Romantic partners will gain special effects with any actions involving kissing. Slutty partners will be able to don special things with teasing stacks, and selfish partners will gain special effects when they cause themselves to orgasm. Stuff like that.
heyyy this isn’t free robux >:0
will there be a male protage later in development?
I have no plans for a male protagonist, but futanari will be an option in the future.
This game is already better than ss(my opinions)and i love that game, but I don't know if this is just me, I can only fuck girls even though I set my preference to dudes. Is balancing still in the works?
Preference doesn’t effect prostitution. There is a setting that controls the rates of female customers. If you start a game in yuri mode, this is automatically set to 100% (all female) and your preferences are overridden to be for women. It’s possible you accidentally started the game in yuri mode.
No i read about the yuri mode and decided i want to learn everything so i chose normal
I like this game so much!!!!!!
What do I have to do to fix that?
No valid storage adapters means you’re playing in a privacy mode, or otherwise have cookies turned off. The game doesn’t use cookies, it used local storage, but the cookies setting controls local storage too in modern browsers. The game requires local storage access to run.
If you didn’t turn off cookies, it could be an extension doing it. There are also some so-called “secure” browsers, like Brave, that simply don’t grant web pages access to local storage. So those aren’t supported at all.
It was the cookies thx
This is by far the best game that i ever played and has yuri in it, especially yuri mode (oh can you also add futa and also pregnancy by futa please if you didn't bother)
Futanari content and pregnancy content are both planned, but for the medium term future, so it’ll probably be a while. Futanari especially is something I want to really flesh out and have be a pretty big thing though.
I'm assuming this is where the Online stuff starts from and it broke. Effectively softlocked.
Didn't know if all of the error message was needed but just in case. Oh and the Spirit Deflection doesn't work. I only tried tapping the screen so take this with a grain of salt.
This is a save data update issue; I forgot to assign the new version of the game a save update profile, whoops. I’ll update the game in a few minutes to fix that. As for spirit deflection, I just tested on my PC (keyboard and mouse input) and phone (screen tap input) and all three input styles worked for me exactly as expected. “Doesn’t work” is an incredibly vague description; what exactly is happening or not happening for you?
Ah right should've specified. So the bar/meter for spirit deflection doesn't change to...I think green? Tapping the screen doesn't apply any changes to it. Sorry if it isn't specific enough. I only remember that the bar/meter doesn't change. It could be a device thing given that the input works for yours? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy A21 if that matters.
Got an error when you see if there's an visitor in the Throne Room
I can’t recreate this. The only part of the game that uses
replaceAll()is the profanity filter, but I just went and thoroughly tested it and I can’t get it to error in this way. Did you try again after this? I might just need to see your save file.I lost to roy and it keeps telling me to go talk to sarah. I can't fight with roy again. This games awesome btw.
Thank you. I thought I fixed this but at some point I accidentally walked back that change before releasing v0.0.5. As of v0.0.6, this should now be fixed. Sorry about that, and I’m glad you like the game!
idk if this is a new bug or not. but, after the first sex encountered the audio wont stop (sloppy and stuff like that), i play the web version on mobile.
This seems like it happens sometimes if you quickly skip through the end of an encounter. I’m working on trying to figure out why. Thanks for the report though! In your browser, you can quickly reload the page to fix this though.
