Unpacking is a BAFTA Award-winning zen game about the familiar experience of pulling possessions out of boxes and fitting them into a new home. Part block-fitting puzzle, 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.

- Unpack a home — from a single bedroom to an entire house
- Meditative gameplay with no timers, meters or scores — perfect for playing at your own pace or on the move
- 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)
- Perfect for mobile — Unpack with the touch of a finger, feel the world through haptics, and easily create snapshots and videos for sharing on social media
- Soundtrack by BAFTA award-winning composer and audio director Jeff van Dyck

One of my top favourite games. Unpacking is exactly the kind of game that's completely fun and satisfying to play. As mentioned there are no timers and you can arrange and unpack at your own pace, how you place the items in the rooms is completely up to you with a few exceptions and there's a "free mode" where even that limitation is completely removed. The story is very sweet as well and the ending credits song is absolutely beautiful. The sound design and effects are also really great.

Version 1.01
There is an option to remove the puzzle aspect! Go from 75% to no pressure visual pleasing (and audio) organization game by selecting the place items anywhere option (disables achievements). The puzzle parts can be a bit frustrating when you are uncertain what to do with an item that doesn't have a home. But persistence kinda gives it a satisfying resolution. Also can we talk about how much story there is just from the items you unpack? But the game itself can be completed unfortunately fast.

Version 1.01
Played it on switch, and just had to get it on mobile as well. Great chill game, just perfect to relax to, enjoy the relaxing music, as you unpack things. Cool thing is there is some odd stuff out can do like placing items in odd places to get stickers/achievements for. No time limits to worry about, and you can even set the game to let you place items anywhere you want. Game tells its story through unpacking from place to place.
