Dinsun Review
I didn’t expect to like this. I’m a 40-year-old man; I’ve moved enough houses in real life to know it’s a nightmare. But 'Unpacking' turns it into something beautiful. The storytelling is entirely silent—you learn about the protagonist’s relationships, failures, and growth just by where you put their socks and books. It’s brilliant. The pixel art is detailed, and the sound of every object hitting a surface is unique. It’s short, and the puzzle elements are very light, but it’s one of the most memorable games I’ve played in years. Highly recommended.
