Press release:
The UK-based indie games publisher/developer Valorware and indie games dveloper/artist Pinku Kult (Hana Eaton), today announced with great delight and thrill that their demon-infested 2D RPG “Pinku Kult: Hex Mortis” is coming to PC (via Steam), consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch), and mobile (iOS and Android) on June 1st, 2022.
This is just par for the course for indie publisher/developer Valorware – if you remember 9th Dawn III: Shadow of Erthil and its many ports! (Incidentally, all those ports were ready by launch – a herculean effort for an indie dev).
WELCOME TO THE MACHINE
Razore City is a desolate and grim metropolis with one big problem: demons. Control your own Razore City denizen as you are tasked by the mysterious Shōkan Corp to investigate numerous bizarre goings-on around the city and track down the mastermind behind it all: the strange girl in the fox mask. Originally an apparel brand designed by Hana Eaton, Pinku Kult’s wild artwork and firm grasp on alternative design made it a natural starting point for game development. Pinku Kult: Hex Mortis is an RPG adventure featuring unique 2D art and a completely original storyline. Adventure through the city discovering twisted locations while leveling up your team of misfits to eventually take on Hell itself.

ABOUT PINKU KULT
Artist and illustrator Hana Eaton began working in art full time in 2015. Over the next six years, Hana worked up and down the UK and developed a signature style based around ‘monster girl’ tattoos – bright and colorful designs featuring demonic female figures with a twisted edge. It was from developing this style that Hana began to look into ways to expand into a brand … which eventually became Pinku Kult! Hana is also a strong proponent for inclusivity and tries to ensure designs and products are suitable for all.
