About Unread: Phone Detective
You are handed a cold case: a missing woman's phone. The police have given up. The truth is still on the screen.
Unread is a true-crime detective game played entirely inside a recovered phone. Read her last texts. Dig through photos, voicemails, notes, and a locked vault app. Forward the evidence that matters to a group chat, where the people in her life react, argue, and let things slip. Crack the passcodes. Piece the timeline back together. Then name what happened.
Every case ends with a single accusation across six axes: who, what, when, where, how, and why. One shot. Build a theory that holds up in court, or watch a guilty person walk.
WHAT YOU DO
- Read a real-feeling phone: messages, photos, calls, browser history, calendar, and a vault you have to unlock.
- Forward clues to a living case chat. Key evidence unlocks hidden leads.
- Work the gate ladder: locked apps, real codes, threads you have to find.
- Make a six-axis accusation for a graded verdict. No takebacks.
- A new full case every week, plus a quick Daily Suspect every day.
- Start free: the tutorial case and the first full case are yours, free, forever.
BUILT FOR ARMCHAIR DETECTIVES
Every case is a self-contained whodunit, an investigation you run at your own pace. If you love true crime, cold case files, and detective work that rewards careful reading over reflexes, this is your kind of mystery.
Unread is fiction. The people, the cases, and the phones are invented. The doubt feels real.
