Netflix Netflix has revealed a new game from the team behind the Oxenfree series that features some well-known actors and some nifty phone-based ideas that aim to make the experience as immersive as possible. Unhinged stars Zoë Kravitz as Ava, who is trapped in her apartment building as a hurricane batters the area. However, she's not alone.

Sadie Sink of Stranger Things fame plays Claire, Ava's friend who lives in a building across the street. Claire can see into Ava's place and offer some guidance over the phone. Video game stalwart Troy Baker portrays the super of Ava's building. While the cast is fairly star-studded, perhaps the most compelling thing about Unhinged is what Night School (the first game studio Netflix bought) is doing with the smartphone controller setup.
