It’s not just the insane level of detail, from the patterns in the wood to labels on bottles, but the use of color to express interior design preferences, lighting, and even aging on items through the years. The aesthetics are absolutely glorious - obviously the pixel art speaks for itself, but I’ll go ahead and gush about it anyway. Left click picks up and releases an item, while right click rotates it (where possible). And while this person never appears on screen or says a word, we get to know her - and her loved ones - intimately through her belongings.Ĭontrols are simple and intuitive, as it’s all point and click. Through the years and stages in her life, she unpacks her same things into new places, finding homes for every little knick knack in every nook and cranny. Unpacking takes players through the ages - beginning in 1997, a young girl is excited to unpack her belongings in her new room in 2004, she unpacks her stuff into her new college dorm. Described on its Steam page as “part block-fitting puzzle, part home decoration,” Unpacking is a one-of-a-kind experience that players won’t want to put down.
Although it’s only a 3 – 6 hour journey at most, those few hours are filled with subtle hints that allow you to not only feel what the main character is going through but reminisce about similar milestones in your own life. There’s just something about Unpacking that is immediately delightful that one can’t help but want to get their hands on it straight away.ĭeveloped by Witch Beam and published by Humble Games, Unpacking is a cute yet nuanced story of a woman’s life told through… well, unpacking. Even the game’s community manager, Victoria Tran ( Among Us), volunteered for the position just so she could play Unpacking early. I took one look at it 2 years ago and promptly emailed the dev team, begging to be added to the press list. Unpacking is one of those games that will make you believe in love at first sight.
