HexPunk is a four-player dungeon crawler set in a distant future, players play as one of four unique assassin classes in order to take down a big crime boss's drug syndicate. However one of you has been contacted by the boss's men, and has been hired to take out the other assassin's before they can reach him.
HexPunk uses betrayal-based gameplay to bring a large aspect of the game into the social interaction of the players themselves, never quite being sure who is really out to get them.

HexPunk is a 4 player, local multiplayer game, set inside a drug lord’s stronghold in the distant future. The game features four assassins who have all been hired to eliminate this kingpin, however, one of their number is out to sabotage the team. The selected betrayer will aim to take apart the team, without being discovered, with the other three players battling through swarms of enemies to reach the boss and uncover the betrayer.
This project features gameplay based on LAN communication, as players try to convince each other who is or is not the betrayer. The musical score changes depending on the intensity of the combat, and there is a combat style for everyone, whether you like fast paced lightning punches, long ranged sniping with giant icicles, explosive lava balls, or summoning your own weapons to hack through the hordes of enemies.

This really looks amazing; the models, the lore, the gameplay, among other things. I really hope you do well with your release, maybe get some Youtubers to do gameplays on it, so it gets more known? You should definetively try that, to get the name of HexPunk around the internet. Best wishes from Chile!
