About this game
Unpacking is a game about unpacking items and fitting them in a new location after moving.
Starting in 1997, each level offers a new location and a new period in the protagonist's life as they move to a new environment with eight periods in total.

It always starts with one or multiple empty rooms filled with cardboard boxes.
A single bedroom at first, players eventually need to unpack for an entire house with many rooms.
Selecting the cardboard box changes the cursor into an object lifted from inside.
It can then be placed in the room, such as inside cabinets, on top of a shelf on a desk etc.
The box disappears automatically when there are no more items inside.
Most items can be put anywhere, but after everything is unpacked incorrect placements are highlighted in red.
For instance: a toothbrush cannot be stored on a desk, but needs to be placed in the bathroom.
There is some freedom and there is no time pressure, but only when all items are in a correct location is the environment completed.
Because there are many objects that need a location, there is some puzzling involved to make everything fit.
Items from boxes are not always in the correct environment, so the player needs to move them between rooms.
It is possible to move between rooms at any time, as well as zooming and scrolling, for instance to get a good look at a specific object.
Some items can be stacked.
It is also possible to rotate objects and sometimes this is done automatically, for instance when moving a rolled up poster towards a wall so it can be hung.
After a level is completed pictures (screenshots) can be taken and it is possible to decorate them as well as apply filters.
The sped up version of the unpacking process can be viewed again through an animation or a GIF.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Unpacking for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Unpacking to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2021.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Unpacking, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PC titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
