Netflix is back in the game, releasing multiple new games in a short span of time. It was Tomb of the Mask a few days ago, and Unhinged a few days later. So, Netflix Unhinged is an interactive horror-thriller arriving on June 30th, 2026.
Netflix Unhinged is part of its newer TV gaming initiative. The game itself runs on your TV through the Netflix app, while your phone acts as the controller and your only connection to survival. Movements made in the real world are mirrored in-game.
Netflix Unhinged brings popular voices to the game
The cast includes Zoë Kravitz, known for The Batman and Caught Stealing, as Ava. Sadie Sink of Stranger Things plays Claire, Ava’s BFF. Troy Baker from The Last of Us and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle voices Ben, the apartment building’s superintendent.
The setup starts with Ava trapped inside an apartment building during a Category 5 hurricane. The power has failed, and the weather outside is getting worse. Ava believes she’s alone, but that assumption doesn’t last very long.
Her only contact with the outside world is Claire, her best friend who lives across the street. While the storm rages outside, strange events begin piling up inside the building.
The stairwell is locked. A wellness check on a neighbour uncovers disturbing signs that someone may be there, yet nobody responds. Before long, Ava realises there is another presence somewhere in the building.
You physically move your phone to control Ava’s hands and flashlight while searching dark rooms and hallways. Whenever Ava receives a call or text message, your actual phone rings, vibrates, and plays the audio through its speaker.
Meanwhile, the game’s environmental sounds continue through the TV. It creates a split-screen-style experience where the TV and phone work together.
Netflix Unhinged offers two modes. Story Mode has no timers, Ava cannot die, and you can progress through the story without worrying about failing. On the other hand, Standard Mode is much less forgiving.
During tense situations, a countdown bar appears, and you must quickly search the environment for specific interactive objects. Failing before the timer expires results in Ava’s death, although you aren’t sent back to the beginning. Instead, you restart from the most recent checkpoint.
