In other news...

More beautiful fanart by alxxjms Disegno published a really lovely piece on Unpackinghitting points about the expansiveness and limits of cozy and wholesome games as a genre, the sadness we can feel when comparing our life to that of a protagonist, and the stories that are told throughout Unpacking. Its well worth a read!
Dont forget, Unpacking merchandise and plushies are still available at Serenity Forge! We absolutely love seeing them come to life, and as shipments are arriving at folks homes, its brought us so much joy! See you all Saturday at Wholesome Direct! Cheers, Emily & the Unpacking team

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
