David Fincher, Weapons filmmaker Zach Cregger and Night School Studio want you to die while playing the new Netflix horror video game, Unhinged.
“At least once,” according to Sean Krankel, general manager of narrative games at Netflix and studio director at Night School.
In Unhinged, players take on the role of Ava (voiced by Zoë Kravitz), a woman who wakes up during an intense storm that has knocked out her power. The game, which can be played on Netflix via subscribers’ TVs or computers, has you use your real-life phone as your controller, which acts as your flashlight and way to call and text your best friend Claire (Sadie Sink) and building super Ben (Troy Baker), while also being the way you move around and make choices. And those choices become increasingly important as you discover a killer is afoot and coming for you and the other remaining building residents.
Developed by the Netflix-owned Night School Studio in secret collaboration with David Fincher and Zach Cregger (the two directors got a “Special Thanks” acknowledgment in the game’s credits when it was released Tuesday, but Netflix has not commented on their inclusion in the process beyond confirming their creative involvement to Variety), Unhinged is a survival game that includes “about 10 times” the player could die throughout the story, which will take you roughly more than 30 minutes to play.
