Unsettled App Launched
Unsettled is out. It’s an escape game hidden in an ordinary-looking phone: a blank screen, a mail icon with one unread message, and every message from Unsettled Corp is a lock that gives up a number. There are no instructions, and no clue is given for free.
The puzzles use the phone itself. You’ll turn it, shake it, lay it face down, knock on the back, go offline, or go for a walk. Some clues aren’t in the app at all.
There are three chapters and thirty-five locks. Chapter two arrives a day after chapter one, in real time. Each chapter ends with a message sealed with ChaCha20-Poly1305, keyed by that chapter’s answers, so you can’t cheat by digging through the app’s files.
Chapters one and two are free. Chapter three is a one-off purchase. No account, no ads, no tracking, and nothing leaves the phone.
