15 Cozy Games Similar to Unpacking
Unpacking touched the hearts of every gamer who’s played it with its subtle, yet emotional house moves and the sense of intimacy that came with unpacking personal items.
It has since received overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam and won countless awards. I couldn’t put it down!
For me, I would say Unpacking is one of the best cozy games I’ve played in recent years. It was the perfect game to end the day with – the kind of game that stayed with you long after you stopped playing.
Words fail to express the overwhelming joy I felt upon discovering the pivotal moment in the game *spoiler* when the protagonist bravely parted ways with her suffocating boyfriend, finally reclaiming the freedom to be her authentic self. And that last chapter, wow— she found love again, and with her girlfriend by her side had a precious baby. Her journey was so transformative and it left me wanting more.
Will there be an Unpacking 2? I don’t know but I would like to hope so. Until then what similar games can replicate that familiar experience? Is it even possible?
Let’s take a look at this list of games that do a great job of evoking emotion through simple puzzles, block-fitting and home design.
