![]() What comes with you and what do you leave behind? What things need to be tucked away hidden in drawers and what do you leave out in the open? Where are you moving? Are you on your own or is there someone there with you? Across just eight stages we see the whole life of our character from childhood through adulthood, taking in so may different stages that she experienced. It’s emotionally effecting in a way that I didn’t expect it to really be. I know she loves art and her stuffed animals.Įverything that is told is by what is brought along and what is left behind and how things can be placed in the levels. I know she is a fan of both video games and board games, that she played Dungeons and Dragons for a good long time, but it took years for her to actually get around to learning to paint her miniatures. For example, I knew from the very beginning that the character was Jewish from one of her possessions and did suspect that she was a girl, only for the next level to fully confirm it when unpacking all her underwear and feminine hygiene products. We never see the character that we are moving all over the place aside from a single shot from the back after the credits, but there is so much that I could tell you. It very clearly comes from a place of love and from that experience and that really shows in all the detail that was put into the game. The core idea for Unpacking seems to have come from a very personal place for the creator, initially conceptualized while helping their significant other move into their apartment. It took me a while, but I finally got around to playing and after busting through the entire game in one sitting, I just had to get my thoughts about Unpacking out in a review. So, obviously a game all about unpacking boxes after a move and organizing is one that would be the perfect one for me, right? Not really, but that doesn’t mean that my eye wasn’t caught when I spotted this one on social media. It took me a whole year after moving to finish unpacking everything for both of the major moves that I have taken in my life and I am chronically disorganized.
