Indie developer Unifiq Games has announced Unhinged, a sanity-first, open-world survival and crafting game where you’re trapped in a bizarre corporate experiment.

Unhinged is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) and will launch in early access. A private playtest is planned – signups are available here.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

Unhinged is an open-world survival craft game where you find yourself trapped in a bizarre corporate experiment. Explore a brutal open world, build modular machines and survive mind-bending trials to uncover the terrifying truth that brought you here.

Explore

Explore a retro-futuristic island controlled by a high-tech corporate giant. Scavenge the island for resources and craft tools that help you survive.

Build

Construct modular machines, build bases, harvest electricity, automate processes, and expand your footprints on the island.

Survive

Maintain a balanced diet, forge your path through dangerous biomes, overcome the corporate trials, confront unsettling entities, and fight to maintain your sanity… or risk becoming UNHINGED.

Features:

• Sanity System: More than hunger or thirst, your mind is your foremost need. Manage your brain chemical imbalances in one of the most complex sanity systems ever seen in survival games.
• Systemic Crafting: Experiment freely with ingredients to cook food, brew tea and synthesise drugs. From lethal failures to superhuman breakthroughs, every craft expands your mastery.
• Contraption Building: Build machines, vehicles, and inventions from modular blocks. Your creativity determines your survival.
• Trials: Scattered across the island, these corporate games test your resourcefulness. Conquer them using every tool at your disposal.
• Automation: Set up bases connected with pipes and conveyors to automate tasks, leaving you free to focus on exploration and survival.
