Like other EA games, Unravel is playable on Xbox One five days early for EA Access/Origin Access subscribers. It should be rolling out today, February 4, though it may not show up in all regions right away.
As announced previously, the EA Access/Origin Access demo version of Unravel will let users play its first two levels. However, you can play those levels as much as you want for a period of 10 hours. Other early play games have also had time limitations.
Unravel is also coming to PlayStation 4, but EA Access is not offered on that system.
"Gaming is a powerful platform, able to inspire players and touch their hearts," Unravel creative director Martin Sahlin said in a statement. With Unravel, we're hoping to do just that. Yarny's quest is to mend broken bonds and the yarn represents the love and connection between people. Along the way, we'll test your cleverness with environment-based puzzles inspired by our home in Northern Sweden."
In Unravel, you'll use Yarny's thread to do things like swing across a gap or rappel down a tree. Those are basic examples, but the game will also challenge you to use the thread in "clever and creative ways," according to EA.
For more on Unravel, you can watch GameSpot play its first two levels in the video above.
