Earlier this year game developer Daniel Mullins released the deceptively titled cult classic Pony Island, a fourth wall-breaking horror comedy about the devil possessing your computer. Now, Mr. Mullins has announced his next project: a murder mystery called The Hex.
Like Pony Island, The Hex will be another satire merging different genres and gameplay mechanics into a peculiar whole. The fourth wall breaks are just as apparent in The Hex as the premise revolves around an old inkeeper who's told that one of his patrons is planning a murder.
