It accomplishes this feat while managing to remain fun and relaxing, with soothing background music and a satisfying loop that gets more detail-oriented as life moves forward (or drags on).įrom a bird's-eye view, Unpacking is a point-and-click game about performing one of the most dreaded tasks known to humankind: unpacking your stuff after a move. Unpacking, a puzzle game of your own memories and psyche, taps into a wide range of emotions. And no matter where I call home, the angels are next to each other, just a glance away. Those angel bells, with progressively fading lettering, have been gently wrapped and kept safe throughout five moves. They went back to me as a keepsake, a reminder that even the smallest gestures of love can mean something big in time. When each of my grandmothers died-a decade apart-we found those insignificant angel bells prominently displayed in their homes. They were nothing special then, but they are right above me on my desk shelf as I write this. These fell firmly into the category of sentimental and arguably tacky gifts that kids often give to parents and grandparents. They probably cost five bucks each, purchased with my hard-earned allowance. One Christmas I gave both my grandmothers tiny ceramic angel bells with "Grandma" etched in blue ink. Unpacking gave me the key to remembrance, unlocking corners of my mind where small memories that have subconsciously shaped me are tucked away.
