I'm not sure what sort of story that would tell other than, 'Imogen had lots of wires, and didn't know what any of them connected to'. It's funny, I've been at my "new" place for almost exactly a year now, and I'm 90% sure I still have an un-unpacked box of techy things under the stairs that never found a home. As you play, you'll go through eight house moves learning about a character you never see, purely from the stuff they have and the places they live. On the website, developers Witch Beam (who previously made Assault Android Cactus) explain there's sort of a story here, but you're never explicitly told what it is. It sounds like quite an intimate thing too.
When Alice Bee demoed Unpacking last year, she said it was "a very satisfying and sweet game of Tetris-with-stuff" that was good enough to make you enjoy moving house. Perhaps next time I move house, I should go into it with the energy of this relaxed puzzler. But I'm starting to think that Unpacking (the game) might make me feel better about it. I've never liked unpacking in real life, it feels stressful and annoying trying to find space for all my stuff. Released today, it's a chill game about unpacking moving boxes, unloading all the items from someone's life into their new home. When I first heard about it, I didn't think Unpacking would appeal to me.
