About the Game

Capsule art for Unhomely, showing the game logo next to a silhouetted person standing outside a modern cabin lit by eerie red light from the interior surrounded by dark green forest.

In the remote wilderness of New Zealand, a beautiful forest cabin hides an unspeakable horror this billionaire doesn't want you to find.

YOUR NEXT BIG STORY!

You are Blair Ward — a down on her luck journalist chasing a once in a lifetime opportunity - is it too good to be true?

After over a year hidden from the public eye, reclusive tech CEO Tom Ballinger, pioneer of revolutionary "fungus powered" technology, has invited YOU to his isolated estate in the New Zealand wilderness for an exclusive interview and a glimpse of his next big project.

Away at a conference, he allows you to stay in his woodland cabin, all alone... Though he won't stop texting you strange requests...


You have three days before the interview. Just you, your phone camera, and a property full of secrets, waiting to be uncovered.

You might be able to save your career, but can you save yourself from what you find?

ENJOY YOUR STAY…
