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

Unpacking captured and recalled that messy abundance of emotions precisely. It’s a special game. It drew me in, it pushed me away. It was a chore at times. But its thematic strength and effectiveness in conveying that is incredible. Unpacking is a remarkable piece of work that elegantly evokes the ebbs and flows of life. A game that evokes a very special brand of nostalgia that is yours, and no-one else’s.

Unpacking is proof that a pixel tells a thousand words. Through simple, zen gameplay and a startling attention to detail a story unfolds in this tiny, pixelated world in a way that just wouldn’t have been possible in another medium. That’s truly something special on its own – a wholly unique and original narrative experience – and the fact that it’s wrapped up in an incredibly cathartic and tangible puzzle game makes it all the more praiseworthy. Witch Beam has something incredible on their hands with this one.
