Zen Puzzle Game ‘Unpacking’ Launches on Android and iOS on August 24th
Unpacking, the game that revolves around the calming activity of unpacking cardboard boxes, is set to release on iOS and Android on August 24th, as confirmed by Humble Games and Witch Beam. The iOS version is available for pre-order at $10 starting today. Although the game initially debuted on consoles and PCs in 2021, it could still be a worthwhile experience for those unfamiliar with the concept.
Unpacking is basically a hybrid puzzle and home decoration game. You have to find a place for things when the invisible person moves to a new place of residence. There is no time limit or other pressure, and it can be very calming when you are building a children’s bedroom or a family kitchen. However, it is particularly clever in the way it tells its story. You learn about a woman’s life by watching where she goes and what she brings instead of dialogue. Since the title is almost completely wordless, it is accessible to many people.
The game will not change significantly with the move to mobile. However, the developers claim that Unpacking is “perfect” for touch, as you can drag objects with your finger and sense the world with haptic feedback. Regardless of whether this is true, portability can be attractive. This might be the most suitable game to play when you’ve just moved to a new place – you can start it while your usual gaming rig is still packed.
