About Unknown Number: A First Person Talker
*NB this game requires a good plug-in mic (laptop mics work ok... but can be a little flaky with noisy fans!)*
Unknown Number tells the story of a high-stakes heist, and is experienced entirely through a series of interactive “phone calls”. This adventure will have you cracking passwords, tricking guards, impersonating oil executives - and just generally saving the whole goddamn world - all with your voice.
Talk, Sing, Whisper, and Shout your way through this immersive puzzle-adventure that uses voice commands for just about everything.
Use your voice to...
Unknown Number starts with a mysterious voicemail from two panicked eco-warriors on an abandoned oil rig. They’re trying to steal $7 billion from the world’s most notorious oil baron, to use in the fight against climate change. But something’s gone terribly wrong – and that’s where you come in.
As the narrative unfolds, you’ll be using voice-commands to talk directly to a rich cast of complex characters - and to solve a wide variety of puzzles. Expect moral quagmires and head-scratching aplenty. Who knows, you might even make it out alive…
Will you answer the call?

Unknown Number is a rare thing: a genuinely innovative game. It's got great puzzles, excellent voice acting and a gripping, witty story. And the whole thing sounds beautiful - it's an engaging and satisfying world to exist in while you play. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something different.2 found this helpful
Addictive game format! The voice recognition adds a new level of engagement.1 found this helpful
This game f&#*($ sucks. Don't waste your time.
A fun little adventure with the added novelty of most of it being voice based (The voice controls work mostly okay too!). Well worth the small asking price for a few hours entertainment.
Enjoyed but many puzzles would be better served by a traditional interface.
