Hex

by Thomas Olde Heuvelt

It had broken their hearts, just as every unfulfilled dream breaks the human heart, but that was life.

I was particularly fascinated by the idea of creating Black Spring as an isolated micro-society where people are fundamentally condemned to each other, bound by the curse. There are many supernatural horrors in HEX, but this is a human horror to its core. It must be awful, especially to the young. Think about it: how would you react, if you knew you’d be convicted to live in the same place for the rest of your life? You’re young, you want to see the world. Grow. Travel. Find love. Get your heart broken. Except, none of that. Looking back at the lockdowns we all know what that means. But now imagine it’s forever.
