Have you been keeping an eye out on our social media pages too? We've been having a ton of fun with the community!

Pick a Chick

We ran a community voting round to choose a couple of the chick plushies that'll appear in the game. Our Discord and Twitter community each got to vote on a different set of chicks, and the winning one from each platform will be in! Thanks to everyone who voted and helped us decide.

Twitter winner: Chick 4!

Discord winner: Chick #1!

Be proud of knowing that you had a hand in making this all happen! And make sure to join our Twitter and Discord for future community events like this. We also got some great fan art votes! Thank you to @ronjanatt on Twitter for making this amazing cross stitch!

TikTok

We recently created a TikTok account for all things Unpacking! Please give us a follow there if you're interested in seeing more Unpacking action.
That's about it on our end! We'll keep these monthly updates happening. Can't wait for you to finally get your hands on the game eventually. Can you believe 2021 is already more than halfway done? Cheers, Victoria and the Unpacking team
