Description

Unpacking is a zen game about the familiar experience of pulling possessions out of boxes and fitting them into a new home. Part block-fitting puzzle, part home decoration, you are invited to create a satisfying living space while learning clues about the life you’re unpacking. Over the course of eight house moves, you are given a chance to experience a sense of intimacy with a character you never see and a story you’re never told.

  • Unpack a home — from a single bedroom to an entire house
  • Meditative gameplay with no timers, meters or scores
  • Explore domestic environments with all their nooks and crannies while you stack plates, hang towels, and arrange bookshelves
  • Discover a character's story through the items that come with her to each new home (and the items that get left behind)
  • Soundtrack by BAFTA award-winning composer and audio director Jeff van Dyck

I hated the ending which felt abrupt, and it did ruin the whole game for me, the game being all about the story. (Gameplay, for what it is, is well done.) But I wanted to know MORE and am still pissed TO THIS DAY

The coziest of the cozy games. It's surprising how satisfying it is to pour hours calibrating every pixel, every inch of your room making it as aesthetically pleasing as possible. I'm also a huge fan of gameplay-driven
