How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Unpacking
You take objects out of boxes and put them away in each new home of one person over the course of their life. With no dialogue, the story is told through what they keep, what disappears and what doesn't fit in their new home.
