![]() It is all told simply from what you can parse from a chip in a mug or an appliance taken from one relationship to a new house. There is no exposition and no clunky dialogue. Not a word was said, but I had an internal crisis from thinking about the conflict I’d be having over this. If that, the simple act of placing objects to fit into someone else’s life, isn’t the peak of video game storytelling, I don’t know what is. I had a whole existential crisis because I couldn’t move this man’s ratty old slippers to neatly put away my shoes and high heels. I now understand why so many women both love and hate their partners, I suddenly saw all the lovely things about this man, and every Taylor Swift song clicked into place. So after the internal argument that I had in my head with this make-believe partner, and believing I couldn’t move his stuff, I then realized I could. I moved in with a guy, and he had two underwear drawers (each half-empty), and I was left with two drawers in the wardrobe for my bras and underpants. The second of those incidents, I think was split into two moments, which makes this entire story. The first of those moments I mentioned a second ago came from moving into an apartment with someone at university, and I wanted to move everything so much, the least of which was the dirty dishes in the sink. Though, of course, as you get older, you get more space or if you’ve moved in with someone, you’ll have to fit into their space with more stuff. I may have had a little too much nostalgia-riddled satisfaction while unpacking the Troll doll. Starting with your own childhood bedroom in May of 1997, you decide where everything goes. In Unpacking, you play as a young woman as she unpacks her life, doing so at different moments throughout her 20s and 30s so far. There were two points, both very early on, where I had involuntary reactions to Unpacking, and it shows exactly why something so uncomplicated can be explosive.
