Unpacking is a zen-like puzzle game developed by Witch Beam, published by Humble Games, and released on November 2, 2021 for Steam, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, and on May 10, 2022 for PS4 and PS5. It was also released on Android and iOS on August 24, 2023.The Retraux-style game is about a woman who has just moved into a new home and every level tasks the player with pulling items out of boxes and placing them into each new home. The game is a very casual game with no timers or scores in any of the levels. The game does contain a narrative that plays out through every level through the items that come to each new home as well as the other items left behind.

Addressing the Player: A strange case. The album used as a save file is an actual item in-universe, and since it has the name you entered that's presumably the protagonist's name, even though they clearly have their own identity. Hitting enter on the blank field defaults to "Sadie", which might be her default name.

No Plot? No Problem!: A downplayed example, as there is a basic outline of a plot regarding the protagonist's life but a lot of details are left ambiguous for the player to fill in themselves and make up their own story for the protagonist.

You'll still be able to clear the level if you put all the items (including existing ones) in the wrong places. It's called Dark Star Mode, and the protagonist will comment on how messy she is at the end of each level.

Wham Shot: A minor case, but as the 2015 level begins, you're still in the same apartment from 2013, and all the protagonist's things are still there. But this time, there are new boxes of an entirely different color. For once, she's not unpacking into a new home...someone ELSE is unpacking into hers!

Tribute to Fido: In-Universe example - the protagonist keeps a pet beetle in the 2010 and 2012 levels. The succeeding levels have a painting of a cutesy angelic beetle as one of the items to be unpacked, hinting that the beetle died between moves and the painting was made to help the protagonist cope with its death.

Babies Ever After: In the final level in 2018, the protagonist and her partner have a whole room dedicated to their baby's nursery. Given that among their belongings is what seems to be a copy of "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and one of the album messages is "We're so looking forward to meeting you!", it would seem that the baby is still on the way as of moving into the final house, but the protagonist's wife/girlfriend is holding said baby in the final picture, so it's not much longer.

Straight Gay: The protagonist left her student flat to move in with a guy, only to move back to her childhood home a year later, after a nasty breakup (what with her refusing to leave his picture out in the open). The last half of the game involves her moving into her first apartment as a proper adult, another woman moving in with her, and the two of them later moving into a two-story apartment with a nursery as the final level.

Remixed Level: Two of the eight levels revisit an old location. Firstly the 2012 level is a remixed version of the first one from 1997 but with mostly new furniture and the addition of a bathroom. Secondly, the 2015 level revisits the previous level (2013). The game keeps track of your progress this time so most of the stuff from 2013 is still there exactly where you placed it, the challenge is to add even more stuff.

Ambiguously Bi: In a sense. The protagonist's first love interest is a man, but they break up and she ends up with a woman. However, due to the minimalist nature of the game's plot, we don't actually know the reason for the breakup, so it's possible it's a case of Incompatible Orientation and she could just be gay.

Shout-Out: The protagonist gets her hands on several classic Nintendo systems throughout her life, such as a Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Wii, Game Boy, and a Nintendo 3DS. In addition, some of the games that you must put away are not-so-subtly inspired by real games, such as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Animal Crossing, The Simpsons Hit & Run, Ōkami, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Pokémon Moon, and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. She also acquires a PlayStation 4 and an appropriate collection of games for it. She also has a couple volumes of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure English hardcover collection and DVDs and Blu-Rays of assorted movies such as Avatar, Brokeback Mountain, Donnie Darko, Jaws, Pan's Labyrinth, Shin Godzilla, and Up. One of the protagonist's stuffed toys is Bluey from Dragon Tails.

Environmental Symbolism
 Unpacking (Video Game) / int_cbd0ac32
comment
Environmental Symbolism: Some of the most nostalgic items for the protagonist, most notably her stuffed pig and a particular purple cup, become torn and chipped when she's in a low emotional place, then get repaired and refurbished and stay so for the rest of the game when she recovers. One of the later houses is noticeably run-down and ill-maintained, reflecting the protagonist's emotional state after she splits with her boyfriend and essentially starts from scratch. The next level shows that same house in much better condition, showing the protagonist as healing. In general, the whole game is built around this; What the protagonist takes with her and leaves behind through all her various moves is all part of the storytelling.

Lighter and Softer

comment
Lighter and Softer: The final two levels are notably prettier and lighter in atmosphere than the ones before them, most likely reflecting the protagonist's own mood.

No Periods, Period: Absolutely not the case; the time you spend trying to figure out how to cram three types of pads and five identical packs of tampons into the same bathroom drawer is about equal to the time you try to gather all the panties and socks.

Occidental Otaku: The protagonist's massive amount of anime posters and minifigs, manga, and books based on real Japanese novels (alongside general fantasy ones) make this pretty clear.

Developer's Foresight: There is a sound for every item being put down on every surface. Certain objects, like pill bottles and baby rattles, will make sounds when you shake them, just like the real things. Should you fulfill certain requirements in the environment just for fun, like for example making an equation out of fridge magnets, you will be rewarded with a sticker and an achievement. You'll still be able to clear the level if you put all the items (including existing ones) in the wrong places. It's called Dark Star Mode, and the protagonist will comment on how messy she is at the end of each level. You'll get a different comment from the protagonist at the end of each level depending on what room you're looking at before moving on to the next home.

Mercy Mode: Normally, you have to put all the items in the right places in order to move to the next house, but you can toggle it in the Accessibility menu so that you can just place them anywhere to clear the level.
