Unsettled® Planet 008: Blackout

Playing in total darkness with just a few LED lights adds so much tension to the cooperative puzzles. Really clever how the game forces you to rely on memory and verbal communication instead of visuals.

The blackout mechanic genuinely makes every game feel like a tense first playthrough, and the way LUNA's dialogue shifts once she turns on you gave us chills. We've already run it three times this week, and each round ends with us arguing about who to trust next.

The LUNA betrayal mechanic completely flipped our table's strategy — suddenly the AI we'd been trusting all game became the threat. We barely scraped a win with two turns left, and everyone immediately wanted to replay. Easily the tensest co-op night we've had in months.
