The supply lines are smoking. The cable factory is producing too fast and the distribution center is clogged. This is without counting the salt mines, which have no way of sending what they extract to the factory that processes it. The trains go to the top and we don’t have hands to control them all, what do we do? This is over! What a stress, right? Do we really have the resistance to live on the edge with what happens to us daily in our lives between work, university and home? Come on, grab Unpacking and relax.
Take a break, or several
Playing with stress is something we take quite naturally. After all, the most frantic part is not put on by us, we sit in front of the TV in the living room, or the computer monitor, and we let ourselves be carried away by what they ask us to do. The problem comes from the hand of many games that, far from calming us down, manage to put us to a hundred due to the amount of things and dangers that lie in wait for us.
For that there is an alternative that is the games that many define as lo-fi, and that allow us to really relax while we play , since the shocks are minimal and in almost all occasions that of dying as such, of losing a life, it is not produced. At most a “you’ve done it right” or “look for another way to do it”, but that’s it. And a great proof of that trend is Unpacking .
Surely you have never tried it, much less have you been told about it because your sleeplessness is with Warzone , FIFA , GTA Online or Fall Guys , but it never hurts to try different things. In the case of Unpacking, our main objective is to accompany a girl in her different stages of life, from when she is a child to her adulthood, as a student and even as a mother.
And placing the house is fun?
Unpacking invites us to review the life of the protagonist through the house she lives in and the objects she accumulates. Each phase takes place at the beginning of a new stage, when they move from home to another where they can continue with their life project. At first it will be a single room in his parents’ home, then a shared apartment with a bedroom, living room and bathroom and later the different rooms of the houses in which he will live after finding a partner or increasing the family with new members.
Each object that we take out of the boxes requires that we put it in its place, that we take it to a shelf, a closet or a table. Even on the walls or on objects like the television (when they were CRT tubes), which gives us the opportunity to try countless combinations until we find the right one. Because Unpacking here has a wide sleeve and there are things that will allow us to place them in different places, with a fairly wide margin of error until the phase is completed.
Unpacking is relaxing because it doesn’t rush us. We can put things at our own pace and on top of that, it accompanies us with a truly seductive musical soundtrack that lulls us at certain times. Proof of its quality, and that you never have to stop testing new video game concepts, is the award it has received for the best indie of the year at the Japanese Indie Live Expo that is held these days until December 9 and hosted by RYUSOFFICE .
