About Hex Reverse
A single-player roguelike deckbuilding card game played on a hexagonal battlefield, where card placement decides territory control. Developer IsaoWorks says in the Steam AI disclosure that Codex assisted with code generation, implementation and testing, and that ChatGPT was used for planning, spec review and some base visual assets. It is on Steam for Windows; the store page says it is free for the first 30 days after the 7 October 2026 release and then becomes paid, and players who add it during that window keep it.
How it was built
Partially verifiedSteam AI disclosure: Codex assisted with code generation, implementation and testing. ChatGPT was used for planning, specification review and some base visual assets, SOUNDRAW for some background music and ElevenLabs for some sound effects. The developer says final design, editing, implementation and selection decisions were theirs, and no generative AI runs during gameplay.
AI-assisted development: Codex helped generate, implement and test the code, ChatGPT helped with planning and some base art (refined in tools such as Photoshop), and AI tools supplied some music and sound effects; the developer made the final decisions.
