Unauthorized
The government lies. The government is hiding something big from us.
And I can crack the code!
This was all 18-year-old Cam ever heard from their sister, Carol, nowadays. Carol used to be an award-winning scientist with breakthrough after breakthrough. But once she started to dive too deep into theories bigger than herself, she was excommunicated from the scientific community. And - in her own words - being followed by government agents.
After Carol runs away to avoid these “dangerous” government agents, Cam decides to carefully follow after her by decoding hints she placed along her path. Will they be able to decode her cryptic hints and save her before the agents get to her first?
Or will they both be swallowed up by a conspiracy larger than they could have ever imagined?
Welcome to the mystery of Unauthorized.
An original story written by Peyton Hunt
Unauthorized is a mystery/sci-fi story following Cam and Carol Whitelle on their dangerous journey full of ciphers to decode and people to not trust.
Originally starting as a novel idea in 2022, Unauthorized became the nucleus for my Thesis while studying at Columbus College of Art and Design. My Thesis became a Art Book/Pitch Bible reaching 48 pages and containing over 30 illustrations to visualize the story. Originally planning on keeping Unauthorized as a novel, the media shifted to a more visual and interactable outlet to allow for the story to reach its full potential.
Now, as of the Summer of 2023, Unauthorized is being made into a Pixel Adventure/RPG video game. The game will be complete with interactable puzzles and codes to decipher to bring the player through the story of the Whitelle siblings. Updates will be published on Instagram and Patreon.

I would love for that to become a reality! As for right now, my energy is being placed solely into the video game due the time it is expected to take. I already have a portion of it written out in Novel form and am planning on also releasing that on my Patreon in a few months. Keep an eye out!
