Evaluation

Hexed Time is a free-to-play, hand-drawn point-and-click adventure that launched on Steam on April 15, 2025. The game originated as a university project that was polished for a full public release — it launched as a complete, self-contained narrative experience with no DLC, season pass, or announced post-launch content. After launch, the developer released a bug-fix patch on April 21, 2025 to address a handful of reported issues, and explicitly invited player feedback on bugs and pacing to inform future updates — though no specific future content was promised. There has been no developer communication since April 21, 2025, and no DLC or additional content has been listed on the store. The game appears to have shipped as a finished product.

About this game

Hexed Time is a hand-drawn point-and-click puzzle adventure set in a quaint medieval village. You play as Amelia, a seemingly ordinary grocer who lives among the village folk—though her simple life hides a powerful secret. Amelia is a witch, skilled in casting spells and brewing potions.

When a prophecy revealed through a crystal ball foretells a terrible fate for her dear friend, Amelia takes desperate action, trapping the day in a time loop. The loop will end only if her friend survives until midnight. However, she didn’t anticipate the arrival of the Inquisition, whose sole goal is to uncover and burn the witch.

What will be your way out of the repeating day?

Cast Spells and Brew Potions

As a witch, Amelia has a range of magical abilities to help her manipulate the world around her. Cast spells and brew potions to solve puzzles, change outcomes, and shape the flow of the time to your liking.

Explore the Village

The village you inhabit is more than just a setting—it’s a dynamic world where your actions have consequences. Visit various locations, interact with villagers, and uncover hidden secrets as you explore. Discover how your decisions affect the lives of those around you and the path to breaking the loop.

Reach Multiple Endings

Your choices throughout the game will determine the outcome. Will you find a way to save your friend and yourself, or will your magic and choices lead to an unexpected fate? Explore different paths and unlock up to three unique endings.

Which one will you choose?
