Among more than 400 indie products, there are other highly acclaimed games including Loop Hero, The Eternal Cylinder, Cruelty Squad, Sable, Jett: The Far Shore, and The Wild at Heart.
Unpacking is a puzzle game where players take items out of cardboard boxes and arrange them across different rooms on shelves, in drawers, and closets.
