absolutely obsessed\with this game, Unpacking_{, by Witch Beam.}

the premise of being given a few boxes to unpack into a room at certain periods in your character’s life is simple but extremely well-executed. you start off with boxes in rooms and get to experience the story through the objects and spaces within. 

while there are a few objects that should go in specific places, there are mostly no wrong answers to how you choose to decorate your space, and it can be as cluttered or neat as you want. the satisfaction of transforming a room from a bare skeleton to your room is just *chef’s kiss*.

anyway if you’re looking for a low-stakes zen game with an engaging narrative and a great core gameplay loop, i cannot recommend this enough.
