About Unpacking
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, players are invited to create a satisfying living space while learning clues about the life they’re unpacking. Over the course of eight house moves, they are given a chance to experience a sense of intimacy with a character they never see and a story they’re never told.
Features
- Unpacking a home- from a single bedroom to an entire house
- Mediative gameplay with no timers or scores
- Exploring domestic environments with all their nooks and crannies while you stack plates, hang towels, and arrange bookshelves
- Discovering 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
Unpacking is already available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam and Humble Games).
