Lyrics here: The moving truck pulls up there's a knock on the door Now all your stuff is here in boxes on the floor You open up a box there is so much to do I open up my heart this is now a home for two Your house plant brightens up the dreary windowsill Your blanket keeps us warm in the evening chill We pull your favourite mug out of the packing foam Stick magnets on the fridge and we make this house a home You put our photo on the shelf I smile to myself You cut the tape with my stanley knife and we unpack your life We unpack your life Slowly, slowly, our things combine Your favourite stuffed toy right next to mine Our prized possessions in a prime location on the bedroom shelf I smile to myself You cut the tape with my stanley knife and we unpack our life We unpack our life
I don’t know why but when I finally finished the last level and all of a sudden this started playing and the credit’s started rolling, all I could do was sit the on my bed and think about how beautiful this game was, and then my throat tightened and I wanted to cry. I’m sorry for making this comment so long, thank you for listening to my thoughts
simple things in the game, there are objects in the game that tell a story like in one part with the characters ex theres a pin in the face of the ex and you cant hang it, but when you were with them you couldnt hang your diploma, its the little things that tell the story without any dialogue
I just bought & moved into my first house with my girlfriend. I started a play-thru of this game a bit before we made the move, so I put it down when I was “unpacking IRL.” About a month or two after discarding all of the moving boxes, I figured it’d be appropriate to play virtual unpacking again. Needless to say that these end credits wrecked me
Just got done with the game. Not gonna lie, when the credits rolled I started crying. As a person that has lived in 5 different cities over the past 6 years, since I moved out of my moms place I get moving a lot. The feeling of starting over somewhere new, sometimes beginning an all new chapter of your life.
as a kid i dont really get why people get sad over this song yet, but as i grow up, i know i will relate big to this song and honestly i just wanna stay as a kid forever
Hey, honest advice from a 30-year-old adult who's kid at heart? If you like being a kid, have fun being kid! Enjoy it and embrace it! But look forward to growing up, as well. Sure, some things get tougher as you grow. But it's not some horrible inevitable to be scared of. You don't need to let go of the fun things that make you happy, for starters. Movies, games, books that made me happy as a kid are still with me. I have plushies and I collect pretty stickers. Hell, the only reason I ever "took a break" from playing pretend was because my friends stopped and it took a while for me to find my way to LARPs. And as you grow older, you grow into yourself, as well. Every life stage has its own problems, but my 20s were MILES better than my teen years. My 30s are shaping up to be better than my 20s. I've heard pretty good things about hitting your 40s, 50s, etc. as well. Sure, I can't sleep on a concrete floor with only boots as my pillow, anymore, but I'm comfortable with myself in a way teen me could have only dreamed of. As far as crying at stuff like this? Not all of it comes from sadness, and, as a wise old wizard once said, "not all tears are of evil". Sometimes something is so wonderful, cathartic, beautiful, nostalgic or just overwhelming, you want to cry before you burst. Many of the things I cry at more easily than I used to come from having life experiences that help me understand it fully. Sometimes it's sad, sure. Other times I cry because the beauty of something hits me in a very deep, cathartic way. I cry just as easily about happy things as about sad things. Hell, I cry at a specific Bluey episode because I watched it with my godson sitting on my lap when he was two and was overhwhelmed by how much I love him. And this Unpacking song, well, it's not that it's a sad song, necessarily. But a lot of people can relate to it in a very emotional way. Moving is tough, and it can be scary, as well. It usually signifies a big life change, after all, as shown by this game. But that feeling of building your nest, unpacking everything and making an apartment a HOME? It's wonderful. It feels warm, and right and YOURS. Enjoy your today and look forward to your tomorrow! It'll be okay, I promise.
I just finished the game, I'm crying. This game describes so much at once... I really wish for my future to be like this... How we found our partner and were so happy... The song fits perfectly and I love every aspect of this game. Good job.
Ho giocato a questo gioco proprio nel periodo in cui mi stavo trasferendo a casa del mio fidanzato,vivo ancora con lui,e ci ho rivisto moltissimo noi due per me per lui è una nuovissima seconda vita,nuove paure,nuove emozioni,nuove esperienze e nuove felicità! È stato estremamente difficile ma eccoci qui ancora in piedi e forti (soprattutto lui) come delle rocce. Ho estrema stima in lui e essere andata così lontana dal mio papà e dalla mia casa d'infanzia è stato indubbiamente difficile ma ripaga essere finalmente grandi!
When I first played this game, I had to sit there for a good half an hour after I finished crying from the credits, just admiring how much this game stuck with me. I feel a little bittersweet that I can't experience this for the first time again, but it has definitely become my comfort game. I come back to it all the time because it's such a simple game, but the story and the characters are so well written, and you really feel the emotions your character is feeling all throughout it, and not a single word is uttered. That's good story writing. Such a beautiful game that holds a very special place in my heart. 💗
A few years ago, my best friend came over to my student accommodation for the first time and we played The Unpacking Game. Today, we listened to this song as we unpacked our beautiful flat with a view ❤
มาจากช่องพี่เอกพี่ยูพี่เคซีค 555 เพลงดีมากๆ I feel so motivative when I listen to this song, like we have to go on. It won't be easy on you but It will make you smile when you look back
Dude, I really dug the story. It was more than just a puzzle game where you unpack stuff and put it where it goes. The story they told through her things was actually pretty touching.
This makes me cry so much makes me miss my loved one who passed away recently rip to my dad i feel like my parents would sing this after bringing me home
I just finished the game and came to hear the song again… when the credits pop up I started crying, it’s so beautiful the game… I only wanted to play a cozy organization game, didn’t know I was going to play one deeper than what I thought at first 😭🥹
