This is Seyed, the developer of Unhinged. This is my second game (kind of… I killed the first one. It wasn't great) which I have been working on for close to three years. I just announced the game and I'm going to share more details.

What is Unhinged?

In a nutshell, it’s a first-person open world survival craft game where you are trapped in an open world corporate game. Think of it as a solo Hunger Games experience. Your objective is to survive and complete the trials. Both are equally challenging.

What is survival like in Unhinged?

Survival is sanity-first, meaning every action affects your brain chemicals which you need to keep in a good balance. Failing to do so will make you go UNHINGED. It’s the fancy word for going coo-coo. Failing to recover from it quickly is... ugly!

What are trials like?

They are a series of mini-games and challenges spread across the island. Think of the shrines in Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Completing each trial awards you with perks to upgrade your gear and access better tech.

What are the most similar games to Unhinged?

If you enjoy any of these games, you will certainly enjoy Unhinged too:

  • Subnautica

  • Green Hell

  • The Forest

  • The Long Dark

When will Unhinged be released?

Definitely not in 2026. Perhaps in 2027. Hopefully no later than 2028.

Will there be multiplayer?

The early access version will be single-player only. If the game is well received and the community demands it, I will add multiplayer for 1.0 release.
