A new true-crime case every week, and a fresh suspect to crack every day. The police gave up. You get her phone. You are handed 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. Unread is fiction. The people, the cases, and the phones are invented. The doubt feels real. Unread Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Weekly and yearly options are shown in the app with their current price.

The full investigator's desk is here: seven cases to crack, a Daily Suspect to sharpen your instincts every day, and a case chat that talks back. Thank you for playing.
