We're constantly building the story of our lives, an evolving narrative that can be told through our possessions, a theme explored in 'Unpacking.'
As I write this in my home office, which in these late-pandemic, work-from-home days is simply my bed, I can look at the nightstand on the left and see on one of its open-slotted shelves a giant bumblebee.
They’re the spirits of close friends, past partners or departed family members — mementos from those who touched my life and don’t deserve to be forgotten, even if they are still a part of my life. Then there’s the closet in front of me. That’s a bit of a mess these days, so we’re going to skip it, since I know its disorganization is a metaphorical representation of how throughout 2021 I’ve let my own self-care slip a bit.
This theme is explored in “Unpacking,” a beautifully restrained and relaxing game that on the surface is about the puzzle of organization. Yet it stealthily has broader ambitions. The game, from Australian developer Witch Beam and available now for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox consoles and home computers, is peaceful in tone but deeply thoughtful in its presentation.
For this isn’t so much a game about putting things away as it is one of constant discovery. We can read between the lines, for instance, when we move in with someone else and see their hobbies become ours, only a few years later to be asked to put those items behind closed doors.With “Arcane,” its in house-produced animated show for Netlflix, Riot aims to put games at the center of the entertainment universe.
