  • Summary: It all starts with a mysterious voicemail from an unknown number. It's Amanda and Ethan - two eco-warriors who dialled your number by mistake in a moment of chaos. They're stealing $7B dollars from the world's most notorious oil baron - Lara Sligo.

    But all is not as it seems. Like any great    It all starts with a mysterious voicemail from an unknown number. It's Amanda and Ethan - two eco-warriors who dialled your number by mistake in a moment of chaos. They're stealing $7B dollars from the world's most notorious oil baron - Lara Sligo.

    That relatively minor negative aside, Unknown Number was a lot of fun and is easy to recommend for those looking to play a short, novel game that brings its ideas together well. Actual decision points are relatively limited, so replay value isn't particularly high, but the experience is fun enough the first time through that that isn't a big drawback. I appreciated how Unknown Number became a bit more personal and expanded some of its concepts towards the end, and I'll definitely be in line to check out a sequel, spiritual or otherwise, if godolphin games ever makes one.

    An innovative combination of voice-controlled mechanics, combined with simple puzzles and an engaging story, that is short enough to not outstay its welcome.

    Unknown Number: A First Person Talker is a smart and innovative title, but there're a few hiccups that could be fixed to make it better.

    Short enough to warrant multiple playthroughs, although some of the storylines aren’t quite as well-written as others, Unknown Number is an interesting title that will have puzzle fans jotting down notes and shouting into their PCs to solve some real headscratchers!
