What is Unrest?
Unrest is an isometric adventure RPG set in Bhimra, a famine-stricken city-state in a fantasy version of ancient India. You control five characters across chapters, exploring locations and choosing responses in branching conversations. Decisions can affect other characters, while deaths and failed objectives become part of the story instead of ending the game.
