AceShowbiz - Netflix is expanding its gaming lineup with the release of Unhinged, an interactive horror game featuring Zoë Kravitz, Sadie Sink, and Troy Baker, Superherohype reports. The game immerses players in a tense narrative where they control Ava, voiced by Kravitz, who must escape a dangerous apartment amid a Category 5 hurricane. Notably, the player’s own phone becomes part of the experience, ringing and notifying them in sync with the in-game events.

Variety adds that the project was shaped significantly by acclaimed filmmaker David Fincher and director Zach Cregger, who earned special thanks credits for their creative contributions. The game functions like a television series controlled via smartphone, with players receiving simulated calls and texts as part of the gameplay. Sadie Sink voices Claire, Ava’s sole external contact, who communicates through phone calls and messages. Developed by Night School Studio—known for titles like Oxenfree—the game is currently available to Netflix subscribers. Variety also notes Netflix’s strategy to engage players on large TV screens with games that use phones as controllers, a method previously seen in their FIFA World Cup game.

David Fincher is a director and producer recognized for his mastery of suspense and psychological thrillers, with films such as Seven cementing his reputation. He played a key role in launching Netflix’s original content strategy back in 2013 with the drama series House of Cards. Meanwhile, Zach Cregger has built a career in horror filmmaking, directing movies like Weapons and Barbarian, and is currently helming the upcoming Resident Evil reboot. Fincher’s longtime collaborators Jason Hill and Ren Klyce contributed to the game’s sound design, enhancing its immersive atmosphere.

This release highlights Netflix’s growing ambition in the gaming sector, blending cinematic storytelling with innovative interactivity. By leveraging talents like Fincher and Cregger, and integrating gameplay seamlessly with users’ devices, Netflix aims to redefine how audiences engage with horror narratives beyond traditional screens.
