Unpacking is a meditative puzzle game where you unpack belongings into a series of spaces, each representing a stage in life. You get to know the owner of the objects by their possessions and circumstances. To finish a level you need to work out where each item should go.
Item 1 of 3
With no timers or scores, you slowly place a large number of items. It’s like a hidden object game in reverse. You'll learn about the unseen owner of the objects, their likes and dislikes and watch how they change throughout their life.
With the lack of dialogue and narrative prompts, Unpacking is great for children and families. It's fun to use your imagination to construct the lives of the people you help unpack, filling in the gaps the game leaves. Following an anonymous character through their life and seeing them at their most transitory stages (i.e. moving to a new home) allows children to come to terms with growing up and adulthood.
