Netflix is diving into gaming with a spooky twist! Their new horror game, Unhinged, promises to turn your phone into a thrilling part of the action, and it’s got some familiar faces to boot.
Developed by Night School, the creators behind Oxenfree, Unhinged stars Zoë Kravitz, Sadie Sink, and Troy Baker. The game ingeniously uses your smartphone as a controller, syncing Ava’s hand movements with your device. Calls and messages Ava receives will pop up on your phone, making it much more engaging than just tapping on a screen. Night School, Netflix’s first game studio acquisition, is clearly pushing boundaries here. If you’re a fan of Night School’s previous work, you might also enjoy our rundown of Apple TV’s latest releases for more entertainment options.
For those who prefer a laid-back experience, the game offers a story mode without the pressure of a timer. But if you like a challenge, there’s a regular mode where you must solve puzzles quickly to keep Ava alive. Unhinged is designed to be a compact adventure; all you need is a Netflix account and a smartphone. Sound like fun?
