  • This took me too long to make.
    My next video (in this series) will finally be the one connecting all of Daniel Mullins games! So look forwards to that
    I was also kinda planning to go with a detective motif for that video as well, but all the music is copywritten. Too late for this video though

    I made this video so that people who haven't played Daniel Mullins The Hex can watch it, but if you have played it recently enough that you don't want a recap, you can skip to 23:00 for the secret ending and 25:28 for the explanation of everything

    Watcing this in 2023 to understand the other daniel mullens games having only played Inscryption. The sheer mention of Gamefuna blew my mind

      You should give it a go! A regular playthrough of the hex only took me like 5 hours, and I could not recommend it enough!

    I think the real messed up part is Weasel Kid does it to get revenge for Mr Shewrd but he just died of old age.
    I really like the whole game is just Reggie framing things so you will feel like you must murder Lionel and frankly if Lionel knew what Irving did.. he may he a lazy reusing hack of a man but he would of denied the deal.

    Love the video, though I think there might be a slightly different explanation for Carla's creation of Sado
    Sado was Carla's attempt at pranking/sabotaging Lionel (who she hated), with this chaotic persona given life thanks to the corruption of the OLD_DATA on the developers' computer systems.
    (The rubber duck I think is just a programming in-joke to indicate she's a programmer more than her being cutesy)

    Good video, but, unfortunately, you didn't touch some of the stuff this game also has:
    1. You can collect cards in the last "game" and this cat prophet girl will tell you some facts about the card you select;
    2. There is a portal to a golden statue of a "?" guy in the basement of the building near the inn;
    3. You can collect coins throughout the game which can unlock the room behind the vending machine.
    And you can probably translate binary codes and the stuff Reginald says at the end, but I'm not sure.

    I do like the video a lot and it's very informative, I'm just not sure if the detective thing landed for me. Was a little distracting at times.
    But I still like the format of your video essays and I can see the love you pour into them. This could also just be 100% my taste so take my criticism with a grain of salt.

You've answered a lot of burning questions I've had about this story.

    I never played hex, but I have played insryption. At 18:57, is that the same side character in inscryption that builds the bridge in act 2, or do they just look similar? Does that mean she's potentially significant, or just a subtle reference with no purpose other then a nod to Hex?

    • @polocatfan
      @polocatfan Год назад +16

    This video explains the games story without touching on the gameplay which is really nice if someone would want to play it thenselves which is nice its also a nice additon to watch afterwards too. definitely better to watch or play before either way though which is the nature of a full story overview, good video.

    Does that makes Sado more powerful than Satan himself, if he had to imprison her? I also wonder about other NPC'S that where used during the development of other games since we can see other characters appear in different games like Rebecha was in both The Hex and Inscryption.
