![]() ![]() So what’s there to do in Unpacking? Unpack. ![]() It’s time to unpack this truly beautiful indie videogame in our Unpacking review. Crafted by Witch Beam, a small Australian indie team based in my hometown of Brisbane, and published by Humble Games, Unpacking offers zen gameplay, a charming pixel art aesthetic, and a deeply fascinating depiction of emotion. This charming thrill is exactly what to expect in Unpacking, a short and thoughtful videogame about an activity that is undeniably human. Taking those few boxes and recreating your life in a brand new location, making it yours and turning an otherwise lifeless house into a colourful environment full of personality. Unpacking, on the other hand, is a completely different experience. The last time I unpacked – setting up my very first games room! It’s quite surreal really that all our worldly possessions are often brought along with us, or left behind in storage, forever suspended in time until the box is once again opened. But with moving comes packing – needing to condense your entire life into the contents of a few boxes. Whether it’s moving into a new home, moving out of home and into college, or finally settling down into a home of your own, this is always a momentous occasion. Sometimes moving can be a regretful or stressful experience, and other times it can be exciting and full of potential. Although this is often an effort-filled and arduous task, it can represent key turning points and progression throughout life. There’s no doubt that at some point in our lives we all have to move house. ![]()
