The essential loop

Easy to grasp.
Dangerously hard to master.

Every run is a test of nerve and timing. Push out from safety, draw containment lines, secure territory - then decide how much space you dare claim before something reaches you.

Hektyk combines territory capture with arcade combat and roguelite choices. Enemies adapt, arenas turn hostile and each pilot craft brings different tools to the fight. The challenge is reading the room while everything in it tries to stop you.

01 / CONTAINMENT

Claim the arena

Draw out into danger, establish new safe ground and balance bold territory gains against sudden exposure.

02 / PILOTS

Four different approaches

Vanguard, Bulwark, Engineer and Slicer bring contrasting movement, defence, utility and control styles.

03 / CO-OP

Bring up to four

Designed for one-to-four-player local sessions, with a dedicated interface and tactical decisions that change with the team.

04 / PROGRESSION

Build between runs

Encounter-changing boons and longer-term research systems are part of an evolving roguelite progression loop.

05 / THREATS

The arena fights back

Scorchers, plasma threats, disruptive enemies, guardians and environmental pressure make every new area matter.

06 / PRESENTATION

Crafted for bigger screens

Sharp native-resolution interface work, controller navigation and layouts designed with 4K and ultrawide displays in mind.

Every world changes the rules

From frozen vaults to furnace heat.

Distinct biomes and environmental hazards reshape how you move, defend and reclaim territory. The larger design spans multiple acts, alien guardians and memorable showdowns, with environments refined as development continues.

Risk, reward and the next run.

When a run ends, the decisions aren't necessarily over. Hektyk's progression design includes selectable boons, character-specific tactics and research to unlock new possibilities over time.

The goal is an arcade rhythm that rewards skill and experimentation without asking players to sit through long setup screens.

There's more beneath the arcade action

Two voices.
One very strange war.

The story begins with an abduction and a battle you're told you must help fight. Two artificial intelligences - HEKTE and HEKTA - each have their own version of what's happening, and perhaps of what you're really doing there.

Repeated runs reveal more of the world, its history and the uneasy relationship between those directing your mission. We're keeping the bigger discoveries under wraps.

HEKTE“Your games showed patience. Your choices showed a conscience. I knew you would help.”
HEKTA“She praised your choices. Interesting that she never offered you one.”
Under the hood

An indie game.
Built with intent.

Hektyk is being developed in C# using MonoGame/XNA technology. Work spans controls, enemy behaviour, character and environment art, 4K and ultrawide interface design, effects, game balance and the audiovisual identity.

Some biomes, systems and effects are works in progress; plans may change based on playtesting.
