Unstitched

Unravel crocheted toys, stitch by stitch.

Every toy is crocheted, and it comes apart the way a real one does. Tap a part with a loose end and its next round unravels, stitch by stitch, onto a spool of its colour. Four rounds fill a spool; it pops and the next one in the queue opens.

The tray. A round with no open spool of its colour waits in a small tray, and hops onto its spool when one opens. Fill the tray and the toy tangles, so the order you pull in is the puzzle.

Sewn on, and hidden. A muzzle is sewn onto the head, roofs sit on towers, and from level 5 a dress, a sweater or a bigger doll hides what is underneath. Hold the eye to look one layer down before you pull.

13 toys, from a chick to a nesting doll, each adding one idea. No timer; a hint whenever you want one, and Again is free.

Best on a phone, in portrait. Tap to pull a round, hold to keep pulling, drag to turn the toy.

About this project. Unstitched is a design portfolio piece by Umut Eren Demirci, inspired by Yarn Fever! Unravel Puzzle. Every toy's difficulty is measured: a tuner visits every position a toy can reach, and each toy's spool order and tray were chosen from its measurements. The design documents are at https://umuterendemirci.github.io. Built in Unity with an AI coding assistant (Claude): I designed the game, set the rules, the toys and their order, chose the tuning, and reviewed every build. There are no ads or purchases.
