Unpacking: the meditative puzzle game that's all about organising

Most people know well the tedium and joy of moving into some small space and making it their own. Meticulously putting things away might not immediately seem like award-winning video game material – but Tim Dawson is hoping it will prove popular. "The whole thing is already sort of game-like," says Dawson, one of the co-founders of Witch Beam, the Australian developers behind new indie game Unpacking. "You've got the delight and surprise of pulling stuff out of boxes and not knowing what will come next … and you've got this clear end goal where everything is finally organised." Now available for PC, Switch and Xbox One, Unpacking won game of the year at this year's Australian Game Developers' Awards – the same title won in 2019 by the riotously successful Untitled Goose Game.
