Unpacking was included in the "Design & Disability" exhibit at the V&A South Kensington, and they've now opened that exhibition at @VADundee. It'll be on view through October, and well worth a visit. Details here: www.vam.ac.uk/dundee/whats...

A picture of a computer playing Unpacking in a museum exhibit. The caption reads "Unpacking is a puzzle game where the player arranges the belongings of an unseen protagonist, slowly disclosing their story through intimate details. Objects like medication, hot water bottles and a cane reveal a subtle disability narrative. The game is an example of crip time in creative practice, encouraging slower, reflective play. It offers a unique approach to storytelling in videogames. Have a go at playing!"

Honored to be a part of this deep dive into the Aussie games industry, all its ups and downs, and the great games that have come out recently. The landscape here is so unique, and we're so proud of our team (and still can't quite believe how much of an impact our game has had worldwide!)

This industry faced near total collapse in Australia. How did it come back from the brink?

Australia's game industry is levelling up, with independent studios hitting high scores despite ongoing challenges.

I adore Witch Beam’s game, Unpacking. It proved to be as calming as a “zen puzzle game” could be. As usual, it also sent my mind to a variety of places, so I blogged about it for this week’s entry of The Tall Rob Report. #unpacking @witchbeam.com.au

An open Eki Stamp book with a stamp of each of Witch Beam's games: Assault Android Cactus, Unpacking, and Tempopo. Each of the stamps has "Witch Beam Games" on the bottom of the circular border, the titles in the middle, and the katakana titles along the top left of the circular border.
There are digital emojis from Tempopo over the image that include each of the flowers in their single form, Uplift Tempopo, and Hana Thinking.
