About this game

Unpacking is a game about the common experience of unpacking boxes of belongings and setting them up in a new place. You are encouraged to design a comfortable home while learning hints about the life you’re unpacking. The game is a combination of block-fitting puzzle and home décor.

• Unpack everything from a single bedroom to a whole house.
• There are no timers, meters, or scores in this meditative game.
• While stacking plates, hanging towels, and arranging bookshelves, you can explore domestic environments with all of their nooks and crannies.
• Explore a character’s backstory by looking at the items she brings with her to each new home (and the items that get left behind)

Reviews

For such a small game, the meaning and intent behind it is large. It made me think of all the things I’d had to leave behind between moves, especially after moving from a small town to a big city. As you progress, you’ll note some stuff that isn’t there in the later moves despite being there for the first couple. There’s also something inherently intimate about moving someone’s belongings around. It’s not just general things like clothing, cookware and more, but also toiletries and undergarments, it just feels more real. If you’ve had a long day and just want to play a fun laidback game or if you like organizing things or if you need a moment of self-reflection, Unpacking is a wonderful game that really needs more recognition and love.
