Unpacking is a new indie game that takes an entirely mundane (and rather dull) activity and turns it into a totally wholesome experience. While playing, you'll be taken back to different moments in a woman's life, from her childhood home to her finally settling down and starting a family. In the process, you'll help her out unpack all the things she brings to each new home.
While the game does not offer a long storyline, what makes you want to keep playing is how utterly satisfying it is to unpack things from the boxes and find the perfect place for them. There isn't a lot of replay value but if you find yourself wanting more from Unpacking, try to collect all of the game's stickers, here's everything you need to know to do so.
