MTV's Ghosted on unrd

MTV and the storytelling app unrd have teamed up to bring its hit TV show Ghosted: Love Gone Missing to your smartphone. In a first-of-its-kind experience, fans can now go beyond the real-life TV show into an immersive fictional world. In three original new stories, players get to piece together all the clues that lead to a ‘ghosting’: when a friend or partner stops messaging you and disappears without a trace.

Each story transports you into someone else’s phone, where events play out in real-time until the moment that person gets ghosted. Players can read all their text messages, see their video calls, emails, photo gallery and even their real-world Instagram account to discover more clues.

After three days, players switch perspectives as they enter the phone of the ‘ghost’. While the people left behind try to get back in touch, the story hits its climax with a shocking video call where the ghost reveals the real reason why they cut them out their life without warning.

Each visual element is shot on mobile to provide raw, authentic footage and make the audience question whether what they're playing is real, or fiction.
