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 PlayStation 5

Launched in late 2020, the PlayStation 5 introduced ultra-fast SSD loading and ray tracing to mainstream console gaming. It's still early in its collecting life cycle, but the Digital Edition (no disc drive) has already created a meaningful split in the market between disc-based and digital-only PS5 owners — something collectors should keep in mind when comparing prices for the "same" game.

Gamevaro tracks Unpacking for PlayStation 5 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 PS5 release dates back to 2021.

Condition matters a lot for collector value: loose (cartridge/disc only), complete-in-box (CIB, with original packaging and manual) and factory-sealed copies are tracked separately because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
