Unknown 9: Awakening is stepping into the spotlight, but ultimately fails to impress

When Unknown 9: Awakening was revealed at Gamescom 2020, it wasn’t quite clear what Reflector Entertainment’s adventure would actually involve. The teaser showed a young girl, Haroona, being chased through the streets of Calcutta before unleashing a magical ability that freezes her pursuers in their tracks. It looked beautiful but didn’t tell us anything about the gameplay.

In the three years since, Reflector has remained tight-lipped about Awakening. But other Unknown 9 media has gradually surfaced, offering various entry points to the series’ lore, called the “Storyworld.” You can learn more about it through Unknown 9’s podcasts, blogs, novels, comic books, or its upcoming web series. The Unknown 9 world is being touted as a transmedia experience, and Awakening is its main entry point.
