297: Unpacking - The Short Game

What this episode covers

The second game from Witchbeam, the developers of Short Game favorite Assault Android Cactus, is completely different but equally great. Unpacking is an intricate pixel art game about… unpacking! This chill, open ended puzzle-ish game tells the story of a life through the mundane, familiar experience of taking objects out of boxes and trying to find some place to put them. Each new house comes with an opportunity to see how a person changes over time and how their possessions tell the story of that change.
