Unhinged is available now through Netflix Games and requires an active Netflix subscription. Players start the game from the Netflix Games row on their TV and pair a phone by scanning a QR code.<\/p>
Once paired, the phone’s motion sensors control the in-game flashlight: tilting and moving the device steers Ava’s beam inside a dark apartment building during a Category 5 hurricane. Incoming calls and text messages vibrate and play through the phone’s speaker while the remainder of the game’s audio runs through the television speaker.<\/p>
Night School Studio developed Unhinged. The voice cast includes Zo\u00eb Kravitz as Ava, Sadie Sink as Claire and Troy Baker as Ben, the building superintendent. The game is set in a powerless apartment building where players navigate confined spaces and audio cues.<\/p>
Unhinged offers two modes. Story Mode removes the timer and the possibility of death, creating an uninterrupted interactive narrative. Standard Mode includes timed sequences in which a shrinking timer requires players to locate objects quickly; dying returns the player to a checkpoint.<\/p>
The phone-based control scheme uses motion tracking, haptic feedback and ringtone cues to signal calls and texts that affect the story. The setup creates a split audio experience between the handset and the TV, with personal communications directed to the phone and ambient game sound on the television.<\/p>
Night School Studio previously developed Oxenfree and its sequel. Unhinged is listed in the Netflix Games catalog for subscribers to download and play.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
