i NEVER thought i would enjoy anyone talk about games more than this dude. ive sat through most of these videos and there never is a decrease in quality, keep it up!
Fun fact when I first played this game I skipped all of the photo descriptions, so I had no idea the main character's partner was moving in. Kinda stupid of me I know, but it just goes to show you how well they go together, when I thought it could all belong to the same person.
Not interested in playing teh game myself but appreciate these detailed deductions on the life of the protagonist from placing her stuff around the new living spaces she travels around. Enviromental storytelling is IMO the most satisfying kind to get information, when you put together the pieces and get your answer on what's going on.
I think Unpacking was the game that truly proved me the innovation and fresh perspectives on the indie-side. Unpacking really got me to live along with the main character, feeling the highs and the lows. Remembering my own path to being a father of two and having been with my wife for almost 20 years now. It got me to really think about possessions and their relationships to each other mirroring the people living there in a new light.
The partner at the end who seems to work in the film industry, from what you said, I think they might work in makeup, since they have a model of a monster so maybe SFX and you said they had more makeup and fashion. It's also something you can get awards for and quite artsy and creative, to match well with our character
You do get the smallest bit of non-environmental storytelling from the caption our character writes under the photo of the room when you complete a level, and she says something different depending on the room you took the photo of. You might have missed that she writes "Game nights just got more convenient!" if you took the photo in the dining room. Her roommates are not just dorks, they're also her DnD group!
Mentioning the empty space in the new apartment as being a sign of hope is a very sweet and hopeful sentiment, but I also think there is a little bit of bittersweetness to that as well. While there is a lot of promise, the empty space can also indicate a level of loneliness. One thing about living on your own is a feeling of loneliness and I can say that having no one else to consider in my house can lead to a lot of apathy for he space in general.
i remember getting this game kind of as a joke because i actually love cleaning irl and thought “hey why don’t i also do what i love but in video game format?”
This game is truly a masterpiece. It tells so much only with objects, and they're so much details that fit the story. Like when she come back to her parents' house after "the boyfriend", we see she pins photos, and the one with her ex and her, the pin is on the face on her ex... Like it wasn't obvious enough that this relationship ended badly ^^' (
I had this game on my radar for a few months and finally played it last year. Watching your video reignited the love I have for this game and I will definitely be going back to replay it soon. Thank you ❤️
I love your videos. The way you unpack a story and a character is so satisfying and insightful. I often find myself renewed after watching some of your videos. I look forward to seeing every release pop up on my feed. :)
I'm so happy you're talking about this game! It's one of my favorites. I can't tell you how many times i played the final trying to create the ideal home.
I had played this game during the pandemic days, and I never once thought the story behind each levels. I thought that it's just a simple, relaxing game with cute pixel-type visuals. Now, after watching this, I would never see this game the way ever again.

I still think this game was made to launder drug money
I watched pieces of this game while my girlfriend and didn’t see enough of it to understand the appeal. What a neat story! Great video as always!

The degree can also go under the bed in the boyfriend's apartment, which is also not a good feeling 😢

the ending song is so incredibly sweet, speaking to the casual intimacy of belongings mixing and making a home together
Piggy is great and all, but where's the love for Chicken and her steadily growing army of chicks?

A lowkey thing I do, when I go to ppls houses, is look in their kitchen....
