UNKNOWN is a spinoff of {{VideoGame/OFF}} created by [[http://claudehuggins.co.vu/ Claude Huggins]] (a.k.a. Zachariecide).

The switch had been turned on OFF. A world died and the credits rolled. Now, returning to the dead realm, you come face-to-face with the former merchant Zacharie who offers his help in restoring the world that you and The Batter destroyed.
