Netflix has officially entered the deep end of interactive horror games with the surprise release of Unhinged, a claustrophobic survival experience that turns your living room into a digital prison. Developed by the acclaimed Night School Studio, this Netflix thriller has already sent shockwaves through the gaming community, forcing players to use their own smartphones to navigate a Category 5 hurricane that has trapped the protagonist, Ava, inside her apartment.

For players seeking the definitive Netflix Unhinged game, this release marks a significant departure from traditional titles. It eschews standard controller inputs in favour of an immersive setup that transforms your handset into the character's phone. By scanning a QR code, you bridge the gap between the screen and your palm, an interface choice that has been praised for heightening the sense of vulnerability as the storm rages.
