It's a very cozy game. Nice to play when you don't want something challenging but something sweet and relaxing.

Finished the game last night. I love how this game doesn't really tell you anything. After each unpacking section there's a less than 10 word summary about that location and it's relevance. But there is so much that the game is showing you with those summaries. You learn so much about the person who is unpacking, and it's entirely through environmental storytelling. The items that stick around between moves, the items that disappear, the way the space expands and contracts. The persistent change of a life over time. It's beautiful.

I also love the simplicity of the game. Pick an item, put the item somewhere, repeat. But the way the items are pulled out of boxes, where similar things are grouped together and largely in the correct rooms, but not always. Where you get to choose how the space looks while you're doing it. You can take as long as you want, or as little time as you want. The items sometimes can do something beyond being put somewhere (turning on a lamp for example) and it's fun to see what can and can't be done.

I loved this game. Not sure what next steps will be for me but for now, I just wanted to expand this comment.
