Netflix will release Unhinged on June 30. The horror survival game uses a linked phone as a second-screen controller and features voice performances by Zoe Kravitz, Troy Baker and Sadie Sink.<\/p>

Players take the role of Ava, voiced by Kravitz, who wakes to a power outage in her apartment building. As Ava explores darkened corridors and rooms she encounters a man with hostile intentions and must make quick choices to survive. Players can call two characters \u2014 Claire, voiced by Sink, and Ben, voiced by Baker \u2014 to receive guidance and advance the story.<\/p>

Unhinged runs through the Netflix app on a TV and pairs with a phone to track player movement. Moving the device lets players scan rooms on screen. Gameplay centers on time-limited decisions and interacting with objects in the environment. The trailer shows examples such as finding a screwdriver to open a window.<\/p>

The title follows Netflix Games’ approach of offering interactive, mobile-friendly experiences to subscribers at no extra cost. The game combines cinematic voice acting with a second-screen interface to control on-screen action.<\/p>

Unhinged will be available to Netflix subscribers starting June 30. A compatible phone or device is required to link to the TV stream and use the phone-as-controller features.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
