We delve once more into the strange afterlife of The Hex, seeking some unifying understanding among its multiple mysteries, and are punished for our hubris. Forgive us.

Apologies for the audio gaps on this one. At about the ten minute mark, Craigbot, our discord recording device, decided to go for a walk. Maybe he had a date on the dating simulator. All that gets lost there is a bit of summarizing: how we get from the bar, via the backroom armory and Vicious Galaxy, to the Gameworks HQ. Fortunately, Ben came through with the backup audio from that point.

Ben, Steven, and Craigbot join me for our introductory discussion of The Hex. This is Daniel Mullins' follow-up to Pony Island, and it's equally if not more bizarre. So we start with some leftovers and secrets and connections there, before getting into the murder-mystery frame and the Super Weasel Kid memory sequence. See the course page for more info and join us for future discussions.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wesley-schantz/support
