At its core, Hide and Go Hex is a modern folklore concept (often found in urban legends and "creepypasta" circles) where the "Seeker" isn't your best friend from next door—it’s something you’ve summoned.

These games are never played in broad daylight. Total darkness is usually a requirement, forcing you to rely on your senses (and your nerves).
