An indie game studio that's just getting started. We have a few small complete projects, and some big things in the works.

Early concept art of Hail of Hexes original Itch page. There's a witch flying toward a mountain castle. Her hat is extremely long, and the words "Hail of Hexes" are imposed over the scene.
Green menu screen displaying choices for three characters, as well as some empty boxes where the familiars will go. The text is black and has a gothic style, and the edges of the menu are garnished with ivy.
Animation loop of a rat wearing a backpack running.
Gwendolyn, Eli, and Aster, in profile, on a landscape of forest overtaking a shadowy mountain with a castle atop it. Ornate text says "Hail of Hexes" Gwendolyn: Purple witch hat, long brown hair, pointed ears, pale Eli: Orange horns, blonde hair, red skin Aster: Corvid mask, blue-grey skin, dark purple hair, crescent moon pendant.
Aster's portrait. Blue skin, indigo hair, and a raven mask secured below their pointed ears. Eyes are hidden beneath the mask's dark eye holes. A cloak with a starry, cosmic design hangs over their shoulders.
Bored-looking orange-skinned youth with blonde hair, pointed ears, earrings, and short, stubby horns. Green eyes refuse eye contact beneath bushy eyebrows, and a green shirt hangs off defined collarbones.
Bright-faced, young-looking witch with pointed ears and a green tunic with a white color. Wavy brown hair hangs from beneath a dark purple witch hat.
On the left, a figure in a purple and black starry cloak. Purple hair over grey-blue skin with pointed ears, and face hidden behind a black bird-mask with dark eyeholes. A small, crescent-moon pendant hangs around their neck. Their feet are dark shapes. To the right, a red-skinned figure in a green tee shirt with white sleeves and blue jeans. Checkerboard skater shoes, and piercings in pointed ears. Eli has little dull orange horns, and green eyes, and blonde hair.
A young, lightly tanned man with horns uses a broom as a skateboard. His pointed ears are pierced. The broom's brush looks like fire.
On the left, in blue ink, an androgynous figure with a crescent moon necklace and a beaked mask. The figure has pointed ears and wears a cloak. In the center, in red ink, is Gwendolyn in her witch robes and classic witch hat. She looks bright and cheerful. On the right, in green ink, is a masculine figure in loose, baggy clothes. A pair of horns interrupt his unkempt hair, which crests a pair of pointed ears.
Three figures against a plain white background with the implication of trees and mountains. The text "Hail of Hexes" superimposed in the foreground. The three figures are a young woman witch wearing a classic witch hat, a young man with horns, and an ambiguously gendered figure in a long-beaked mask.
