About the Game

Fear spreads through a small medieval village as rumors of witchcraft begin to surface.

Suspicion grows, trust collapses, and everyone becomes a potential suspect.

You are the inquisitor sent to uncover the truth.

Question villagers, analyze testimonies, observe suspicious behavior, and decide who will face judgment before sunset.

But the truth is never certain.

■ Gameplay

Hex Judge is a narrative investigation game focused on interrogation, deduction, and moral judgment.

Players select suspects and gather information through conversations. By comparing testimonies, identifying contradictions, and observing behavior, you will gradually build suspicion toward each villager.

Based on your investigation, you must ultimately decide who is guilty.

Your decisions determine not only the fate of the accused, but also the future of the village itself.
