Unpacking behind-the-scenes video

Publisher Humble Games and developer Witch Beam recently released a developer diary for Unpacking, their upcoming zen puzzle game. The behind-the-scenes video explores the game’s origins and development.

Here’s an overview of Unpacking ahead of the game’s release:

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, you are invited to create a satisfying living space while learning clues about the life you’re unpacking. Over the course of eight house moves, you are given a chance to experience a sense of intimacy with a character you never see and a story you’re never told.

Key Features

Unpack a home – from a single bedroom to an entire house

Meditative gameplay with no timers or scores

Explore domestic environments with all their nooks and crannies while you stack plates, hang towels, and arrange bookshelves

Discover 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
