What Unwound is

Unwound is an unreleased adventure game, currently scheduled for 31 December 2026. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

You are an investigator sent to find the cause of a series of natural disasters affecting the sweet mines of Candy Island. When a storm destroys your ship and strands you on the island, you must use found objects to build yourself up from a sentient ball of yarn, with new body parts changing how you navigate this strange and mysterious place. Get involved in politics, join cults, uncover lost memories, make friends and break hearts — but figure out what's causing Candy Island's troubles before the whole place breaks apart.
