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!

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!

the ending song is so incredibly sweet, speaking to the casual intimacy of belongings mixing and making a home together

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. It's still a positive change of course, she is clearly doing better and the open freedom can be very refreshing and what she probably needed. It's sort of symbolic how that freedom and positive change can open that space and allow her to add someone new. And of course, Piggy is the best.

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?” didn’t expect to get so invested in the game’s unspoken plot and be able to feel and understand so many subtle things just from putting away objects. i even got a little teary-eyed when i reached the sweet ending gosh, this game makes me so sappy. it’s great

Piggy is great and all, but where's the love for Chicken and her steadily growing army of chicks?

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.

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 ^^' (9:30)

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 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!

My husband livestreamed this game once. It's beautiful.

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

A lowkey thing I do, when I go to ppls houses, is look in their kitchen.... They'll sometimes ask "oh you're hungry"?? No...I'm just looking in their fridge, in their cabinets and drawers...seeing what kinda food they like to eat, and cook...the products they like to buy...the type of dishes they tend to cook... So on and so forth...

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.

This video perfectly captures the essence of what makes Unpacking such a unique and captivating game. The way the game uses environmental storytelling to reveal the life and experiences of its protagonist is truly brilliant. From the carefully curated objects to the intricate level design, everything about Unpacking feels intentional and purposeful.

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 are genuinely a good youtuber and even though I’ve only known your channel for three weeks or so I really enjoy the way you review and interpret video games and characters, you have great potential to make a good thing out of this keep up the great content!👍

This game really is a subtle masterpiece. Happy to see it get more love.

I love what you said about the pig being the star. Lol 🤣

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 think it's time for me to play the game again.

saw and immediately clicked, I absolutely love this game and it's story

I love how he’s so good at analysing, the only other KZfaq I can imagine analysing like this is Schafrillas

I love your videos so much and the fact that you spoke about unpacking. it’s nice hearing about this after really different content for games like gow but I hope you do more content like this as well!!

I used your video essay format for a school power point and I think I’m getting above 90%

Love your channel

I would LOVE to have a sequel game with a different character tbh The possibilities are endless

I’m tearing up a little bit thinking about my own life and where it is going. I will start my own creative degree in 2 months on the other side of the world. I can’t wait, but I’m dreading what is coming. What stories will be mine

I’m a really big fan of the channel and I would love to see you cover one of my favorite games Omori it’s a very emotionally in depth game and I think it fits the type of content you create

I love this game. It’s so fun and relaxing

I recently moved in to my first apartment. So that one level made me slime.

the boyfriends apartment gets me heated haha. notice how the only space he set aside for us was on his weight rack, where he made room for our weights. also, he stole our panini press!!!

This game put tears in my eyes. And it truly rarely happens. >_

Finished this game in one day. Super good 🥰

Played this almost a year ago now, nice little cute game.

during this video I looked around my room to see what I could see about myself. There are many unfinished projects around my cluttered, messy room with things piled on top of crumbs and debris. There is a pathway cleared from my bed to my computer desk, who's screen sits on the windowsill and blocks the view of outside, along side fake foam and porceline rocks and monsters I made, bought, and was given.. There are quilts glued to the walls, and an eclectic few paintings on my wall, some of them mine, some of them others. In one space there is a failed improvised frame for one of my paintings on paper. Some of the things on my walls are furry drawings I downloaded from the internet and had printed on sheet metal. There is a green full fursuit I made myself in my closet, along with boxes of blue fur. There are a few instruments, including an incomplete crafted one from cardboard, rubberbands, and jig-sawcut wood, and my desk is littered with notes. I have no bedframe, just a mattress, and two peeled apart mattresses tucked up vertically on the wall next to my sleeping one which has no sheets. In two high corners are vr base stations. There is an unused shelf high above my desk, and the remnants of doublesided goopy tape that was used to hold sound-foam up on the walls. I have four sets of spare keys, but had zero keys for the last week. Fake breasts lay on my bathroom floor, a small empty bottle of lube in the clutter next to my mattress, and a sex toy I haven't used in months is in my closet. A movie theater polo shirt is on the floor behind the metal barstool I'm sitting at my broken heigh-adjusting desk currently. As ugly I feel about the picture of myself I just painted, I think that is as exact of an idea of me as I could ever give anyone. I feel this shows how I have not taken advantage of my potential.

5:50 I believe it's just painkillers for periods tho

I really really really want to see you make a similar video about the trio games - FLOW, FLOWER AND JOURNEY.

I feel personally attacked by your assessment of the BF's appartment. 😂

FatBrett putting in that work 👌🏼

Do one for Tyr from God od War, the real Tyr!

Good-day.

Engagement

the way u organize makes my skin crawl but cool vid, never thought of it that way

Brett make a patreon already so I can throw money at you

"Unpacking is a game made up of nothing but unpacking boxes". .... Go on.

...and then Luigi GETS THEM! 😂

4th

has anyone told you that your voice sounds like barry mccockiners

Bro you got me fucked up if you think I’m paying a Benjamin to play a game I’m gonna beat in an hour

I still think this game was made to launder drug money

Your love of pig is so cool. "Pig is a freaking baller." 🫡
