Hexologic, MythicOwl’s calm, Sudoku-inspired logic game, is temporarily free to keep on Steam. The offer ends Saturday, 31 October at 10 a.m. PT, so Australian players will want to check the store before the promotion closes.
Usually priced at around $5, Hexologic can be claimed permanently during the giveaway. Once added, it remains in your Steam library rather than functioning as a time-limited trial. The game also holds an overwhelmingly positive reception from Steam users, with a 96% positive rating highlighted in the promotion.

How Hexologic works
Released in 2018, Hexologic replaces traditional Sudoku squares with interconnected hexagonal layouts. Players place dots in the cells, then use the numbers along intersecting lines to ensure each total matches its required value.
The rules are straightforward at first, but later stages add more demanding arrangements and mechanics. That gradual increase makes it approachable for newcomers while still offering plenty for experienced puzzle players to think through.
More than 90 relaxing logic puzzles
The campaign contains more than 90 levels across six worlds. Each world introduces its own gameplay mechanics, while extra challenges and tougher puzzles provide additional reasons to return after completing the main path.
- More than 90 levels to solve
- Six distinct worlds with different mechanics
- Additional challenges for players seeking harder problems
- A non-competitive format suited to short play sessions
Hexologic is designed to be mentally engaging without becoming stressful. Colourful artwork, a gentle soundtrack and satisfying sound effects give each solved level a sense of completion, while the relatively short main campaign suits players who prefer to play for a few minutes at a time.
A compact puzzle game for your library
Rather than asking for a long-term commitment, Hexologic offers self-contained number puzzles that can be started and stopped easily. Its clean structure also makes it a useful choice for a quiet break between longer games—or for anyone considering a compact bartop arcade and looking for similarly pick-up-and-play experiences.
The giveaway is available until Saturday, 31 October at 10 a.m. PT. Claiming the game before the deadline adds it to your Steam account permanently, making this a low-cost way to try a well-reviewed logic title.
