Plot
An estate agency has recently acquired Hawthorne Mansion: a house on an English moor that is rumoured to be haunted, and previous residents supposedly went insane after living there. The player takes the role of an employee of the agency, and arrives at the house to inspect and clean it. The house was built on the site where a 15th century castle once stood, and in the 1920s a scientist named Owen Jugger lived in and studied the house and its haunted past, and then abruptly died.
In the midst of cleaning the house, a parcel arrives to the house addressed to Jugger, that has been in transit for 70 years. It contains Jugger's diary, which contains research about a cult that worships the eponymous god Kal, a malevolent god that has been asleep for eons. The protagonist must continue Jugger's work to stop Kal from waking and returning to Earth, bringing about the end of the world. Doors in the house allow the protagonist to time travel to different points in time: the Mesozoic Era, the ice age, a medieval mine, a 19th century ship in the midst of battle, and far in the future.

Why this record matters
“Hexuma” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Hexuma, video and game provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q31836939. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1992, 2000, 1990 and 1991.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
