About this game

You are hunted by a rogue computer program. Avoid the bot either by yourself or cooperate with others while attempting to collect electrical components around the world to activate beacons to open the escape hatch.

Hex Bots is a horror chaser game inspired by Nextbots where you can play alone or with up to 3 other players. Your goal is to pick up electrical components in order to connect circuits on the computers scattered around the map, all while avoiding the demonic rogue artificial intelligence called Ounce.

Hex Bots is best enjoyed as an online party game. There are various objectives, some that advances direct progression, and others that give you permanent boosts, and the players decide who will work on what.

KEY FEATURES

Frantically collect components in order to activate PCs around the map by completing a circuit connecting mini game.

Experience the feeling of wandering through a forgotten and unfinished world. Nothing is as it seems here. A liminal space with no cohesion or rules.

Got friends? The game will get no easier as the the rogue program will dynamically adapt to how many people you play with.

You're not entirely without tricks. Discover different side objectives in order to gain certain advantages to help you succeed.

    Death "animation", revive sound, bug fixes

    Just a small patch. Was just going to fix some bugs, but ended up making a couple extra changes.Death "animation"When you are killed by the hex bot, the camera will turn towards it for a split second before you die.Revive soundWhen you are revived, a small sound and visual effect will appear to make it clear that you are being revived. I've noticed that some people might zone out and not notice when spectating that they have been revived, so this should negate that somewhat.You can now see the hex bots and maps available to owners of the content pack when hosting. This should probably make it more clear what you get from purchasing the DLC.The "computer" button in the radar should now properly display the text instead of showing an error.The hex bot now shakes when killing a player. This used to be a feature but did not work after I made some big changes in the code.

    Two new hex bots - Game settings - New languages (Patch notes May 20. 2026)

    It's been like a year, so it's time for another update! This time you are getting a brand new feature which allows you to control various aspects of the game, like the difficulty of the hex bot, the amount of revives per round, the size of your inventory and much more. We have also added game rules, which are randomly selected based on the game settings. These rules significantly change how you play, and can make the match extremely challenging. Some examples of game rules: "Makes a player move slower when holding lots of components", "Stuns the player for a second when entering chase with the hex bot", "Makes the hex bot very quiet", plus a bunch more. Some combinations of game rules can be absolutely brutal. These game rules are designed to make the matches even more unpredictable, meaning you have to be creative and strategic to win. As a bonus, we are throwing in two new unique hex bots! The Angel and Teerpech. And let's not forget that, with the help of some amazing people, the game is fully translated to Russian and Portuguese (Brazil). Credits to Angelika Ushakova (Best & Good Games team) and Juliano "Snnow" Gomes! Enjoy! Patch notes Added two new hex bots The Angel Moves extremely fast Can only move when no one is looking at it Teerpech Cannot attack a player until he has stalked them for a while Moves quickly when it's in killing mode Is only aggressive for a few moments before needing to stalk again Added game settings You can now control the difficulty of the game using sliders before starting the game Settings are unlocked as you level up Added game rules By using the game settings, you can add random game rules to the match These rules significantly change the way the game is played Examples of game rules are "You are slowed if you look away from the hex bot" or "The hex bot is completely invisible" Added localization Added Russian - Credits to Angelika Ushakova (Best & Good Games team) Added Brazilian Portuguese - Credits to Juliano "Snnow" Gomes Added...

    Patch notes May 07. 2025

    A powerup called "Radar" was supposed to be in the game, but was later scrapped. I've now redesigned it, and added it into the game. The Radar powerup allows the player to access some additional features on the satellite tower. Here they can see the location of all players, they can scan for the location of computers, server, components, and even the hex bot itself. I've also added some story to the game. You will unlock one piece of lore for every three levels, with six parts in total. Patch notes: General Added the Radar powerup Added lore There are now four powerup stations per match, but only nine batteries, meaning you have to decide which three to activate Bug fixes The player soul should now spawn a little further down A spectator should no longer get achievements for winning the game in x amount of time The sound that plays when the exit gate is opened should no longer play at the start of the match The text that shows up when a player dies should now correctly tell the player where the revive station is in The Mines The gold chest should now correctly display how many chests are available after leveling up

    Patch notes April 30. 2025 (Big content update!)

    Content update! As part of the new DLC (Hex Bots - Content Pack), there is now a new map and a new bot. I've also added character customization. There's also several improved aspects of the game, including the hex bot AI, UI elements, and some other QoL features and bug fixes. The new map and hex bot is accessible after buying the DLC, although only the player that is hosting a lobby needs to have the DLC, all other players in the lobby will get automatic access for that match, for free! New map: The Mines A huge mine surrounded by factories. This map has more indoor areas, which can make the player feel more trapped in certain scenarios. There is also more vertical play compared to the first map. New hex bot: The Poet A more difficult hex bot that has a special ability; he turns invisible while not in chase. This makes him impossible to see or hear while he looks for players. When we goes for the attack, he will reveal himself and gain a short speed boost. This makes him much harder to deal with compared to the first hex bot, Ounce. Character customization If you have the content pack DLC, you get access to gold chests that give a random amount of gold. This gold can be used to buy new character models and accessories. Combine them as you please. There are currently 11 different player models, and 17 different accessories to choose from. Patch notes: General Added new map: The Mines Added new hex bot: The Poet Added player customization Added spectator mode Increased player cap in each lobby from 4 to 8. The game can only start with 1-4 players, meaning any additional player beyond 4 has to spectate Added UI elements for activating powerups. When a powerup is activated, an icon will show up on screen showing which powerup was activated. Additionally, all currently activated powerups will be displayed in the bottom left corner Improved the AI of the hex bot, mostly the pathfinding aspect The esc button will now close whichever UI window you have opened When the hex ...

    Patch notes April 9. 2025

    1.2 Features You can now toggle inventory with "tab" to see the contents whenever you want. Wire components are now named to more easily be able to communicate with teammates which components you need. Inventory weight limit will now flash red if you try to pick up something but don't have the carry capacity. Small modifications to where components can spawn in the world. You can now place more components in a circuit, giving you a little more freedom to complete the puzzle. Bugs Player UI should now update properly when a player dies... I hope. In the activation phase, computers should no longer be marked yellow on the map.
