Our protagonist doesn’t need to have their own voice when a stuffed pig that moves from house to house can speak volumes instead. While each level continues a general narrative thread - your first room, your first sharehouse, the first time you move back in with your parents - the objects found within the cardboard boxes tell their own stories as well. Starting in 1997 and moving forward in time with each level, you find yourself in a room (or a series of rooms) and are tasked to unpack the contents of several cardboard boxes upon shelves, chests of drawers, kitchen countertops and more. Part puzzle game and part silent narrative, each of its levels plays out in a similar fashion. This charming little indie gem has a very simple premise. Thankfully, Unpacking, the latest from Brisbane-based dev Witch Beam, does not. Naturally, the process of packing and unpacking sucks. Needless to say, moving isn’t my favourite thing. Moving to Australia, that changed quickly since my arrival, I’ve lived in at least ten different houses or apartments.

I spent my first twenty years in Canada, and while I finished (most of) a university degree in that time, I remained in a single household that entire time.
