There’s a zoom function too, which always fixed the issue. Using a controller does make it a bit weird when putting items in far-back corners inside of cabinets, but I always had room for things. It’s calm and relaxing.Ĭertain things like towels, dishes, folded clothing, and cookie sheets can be stacked, but others are a bit more awkward to place, like frying pans (that never seem to center on the stovetop).
Things do get a little more advanced as the game goes on, but it’s never more than having to unpack certain boxes to reveal more of the room (see the image I embedded below, for example) or moving things around that were already there when you started. I mean, there is an accessibility toggle you can turn on that lets you do that, but by default, it’s a big no-no. Some items have specific places they need to be, so for example, you can’t put a microwave in the bathroom. You can’t just pile everything on the bed and move on, though. Putting stuff away is easy: you click on a box to grab an item (which you can’t see ahead of time), then find places to put it. There’s no story openly told to the player, but plenty to pick up on just based on what you’re putting away and what your living situation is. I didn’t expect to connect to a game about putting stuff away so much. I was getting a pretty close look into someone’s life, their memories, their relationships, just by putting stuff away, and it all felt deeply personal and relatable. It’s just you putting stuff in its place.Īs the years go on you start to notice some of the same items popping up, which was the big “ah-ha!” moment for me. Each move presents more places to put things, more boxes to unpack, but it’s always relaxing. It starts in 1994 and gradually progresses through the years, up until 2018.

Unpacking initially plays out as a more relaxed puzzle game, one where you’re presented with a room and a stack of boxes full of stuff that needs to be placed somewhere. It’s a very brief two-hour experience and is well worth everyone’s time, even if it doesn’t sound like your cup of tea.

Unpacking released today on various platforms, but I played through it (to 1000G, 100% completion) on Xbox Series X through Game Pass. With both games being pretty damn stellar, I’m eager to see what they’re up to next - which appears to be something called TemPoPo.

The six-person Australia-based development studio Witch Beam couldn’t have created two more wildly different games for their portfolio, with Assault Android Cactus being a frantic twin-stick shooter and Unpacking serving as a zen-like pixel art game that’s literally about unpacking boxes and finding places to put its contents.
