Unpacking Comes to Playstation
What is It?
Unpacking is a 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, players are invited to create a satisfying living space while learning clues about the life they’re unpacking. Over the course of eight house moves, they are given a chance to experience a sense of intimacy with a character they never see and a story they’re never told.
Key features include:
-
Unpacking a home – from a single bedroom to an entire house
-
Meditative gameplay with no timers or scores
-
Exploring domestic environments with all their nooks and crannies while you stack plates, hang towels, and arrange bookshelves
-
Discovering a character’s story through the items that come with her to each new home (and the items that get left behind)
-
Soundtrack by BAFTA award-winning composer and audio director Jeff van Dyck

Awards, Game Developers Choice Awards, BandLab NME Awards, Australian Game Developer Awards, Can I Play That? Accessibility Awards, Gayming Awards, SXSW Gaming Awards and Webby Awards.
