Playtime: 7h17m*

Unpacking is the third game in this month's Humble Choice bundle, and another one on the short list of games that I've completed; this one on December 30th, 2021

My time played in Steam, however, is 0h 0m.

Unpacking is also available on Xbox Game Pass for PC, which is where I played it, and completed it.

Twice.

Unpacking is an utterly lovely, and very chill isometric pixel art puzzle game, that involves unpacking a series of moving boxes, and learning about your life. It's a game about what makes somewhere home.

Each set of puzzles is based around a time in your life, and as you unpack the boxes, you begin to tease out the narrative of your life.

The thing about Unpacking is that to explain it beyond this, risks giving away part of the narrative, and I don't want to do that.

There is so much I love about this game, both for the puzzle, but also for the narrative; those of you who've played it know exactly what I mean.

It's a game that sat with me for a long time after I'd finished it, and I ultimately decided that I want to own a copy, and put some money into the pocket of the (Australian!) devs (Witch Beam, based in Brisbane), so I bought it.

Writing about it like this has just reminded me how much I love it, and I might just need to play it through again. It's another one on my list of favourites, along with Firewatch, Dredge, and Hardspace: Shipbreaker.

Unpacking is the other game it's worth buying this month's bundle for; it too is:
