Marcus Estrada writes: "Unrest begins with players being thrust into Tanya’s life. This 15 year old is part of a peasant family and is very aware of the classist existence around her. Her parents announce that she is to marry a merchant’s son, named Hanu. This arrangement makes no sense to Tanya. Why would a family of well-to-do merchants want to stick their only son with a woman who has little to her name? Not only that, but Hanu is a horrible jerk and everyone knows it. Should Tanya tough it out and accept her role as doing wife to a cruel man or should she take other action?"

Owen Atkinson writes: "[Unrest] feels less like a game and more like an extremely vivid choose-your-own-adventure book. ... a poignant exploration of just how much people will sacrifice to save either themselves, their families or their homes, and the unintended consequences that can follow."
James sat down with Indian alt-RPG Unrest, noting it had a "novel approach to the standard formula"
