Hex on Steam.

The Steam Edition of Hex: Becoming a Succubus will be coming out at midnight EDT on July 21, but for most of the world that will be around 11:00 PM on July 20. This will be an early access release and will cost $14.99.

After the game is completed and it leaves early access, the price will increase to $19.99, but that will be quite far in the future.

The Steam Edition will come with some of the premium features of the other editions of the game, for a one-time purchase. The Patreon editions of the game will still generally get more stuff, but Patreon operates on a subscription model, obviously, and patrons are only entitled to the updates that are released at the time they are subscribed, while buying via Steam grants you all future game updates for a one-time payment, so I think this is fair.

Early Access and Exclusive Updates

Most Patreon-exclusive updates will remain unique to the Silver and Gold Editions of the game for logistical reasons, but the Steam Edition will not have to wait a week for major updates the way the Free Edition has to.

Bonus Cosmetics

All premium cosmetic items, such as premium outfit variants for Iris and exclusive outfits for the throne realm attendant, will all be available to the Steam Edition. All future premium cosmetics will also come to the Steam Edition.

The Offering Box

For now, like the cheats from SS, the offering box will not be available in the Steam Edition. However, I am considering changing this by adding an optional cheats setting to the Steam Edition that will activate the offering box, or maybe some of the items in the offering box, but I'm not completely committed to it at this point.

Future Content

Buying the Steam Edition will grant you permanent access to the game and all future content, including premium cosmetics, for the life of the project.

Will Patrons Get Keys?

Yes!

First, Steam keys will be made available through the game's Silver and Gold Edition Itch.io pages soon! Keys will be made available for all patrons on a first-come, first-served basis, starting in about a week and will continue to be made available until the game's Steam release.

After the game is released on Steam, the keys will no longer be offered on the Itch pages, but anyone who paid more than $14.99 in Patreon subscription fees prior to July 21, 2026 can request a Steam key via a private message on Patreon, and I'll send you a key! Future patrons will not be afforded this opportunity because doing so would go against Steam's TOS as I understand it, and future patrons will ideally be aware of the separate Steam and Patreon options and be able to make an informed decision.

Steam Feature Support

Hex will support Steam achievements at some point in the future, but not at launch at launch*. I also plan to experiment with Steam clous saves and Steam workshop, so I may support those Steam features as well!

*Previously, I planned to add achievements later, but I decided after thinking about it a bit that I'd better just do them now. The game will launch with 34 achievements, with more planned for the future. Importing a save into the Steam Edition should automatically grant past achievements.

The Steam Demo

After the game releases, the demo on Steam will be discontinued (at least temporarily). I may create a new demo, however, in the future.
