Unpacking is a zen puzzle game about the familiar experience of pulling possessions out of boxes and fitting them into a new home. Part “item Tetris”, part home decoration, you are invited to create a satisfying living space while learning clues about the life you’re unpacking. Over the course of eight house moves, you are given a chance to experience a sense of intimacy with a character you never see and a story you’re never told.

Features

Unpack a home -- from a single bedroom to an entire house
Meditative gameplay with no timers, meters or score
Explore domestic environments with all their nooks and crannies while you stack plates, hang towels, and arrange bookshelves
Discover 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

Demo update

We've released a minor quality of life update to the Unpacking demo!

Changes include:

Made the "Witch Beam" whisper quieter so it's not as scary
Added control-click for turning items for our one button Mac mouse friends
Several items have been marked up to be allowed in more places
Caught an issue where the game might not auto save if you quit too quickly
Fixed issue where room icons could show up wrong on load
Escape key no longer immediately quits from the main menu

If you've already successfully played through the demo these changes are unlikely to give you a different experience but we're hopeful they'll make things a little bit nicer for anyone who checks it out between now and the end of PAX.

But of course you can play it again if you'd like, that's totally allowed.
