Post-Completion Fun

Discover what to do after finishing Unpacking! Learn about achievements, replayability, and fun extras to keep the cozy vibes going long after the last box is unpacked.

So, you've unpacked all the boxes and seen the whole story unfold. What now? Don't worry, there's still plenty of fun to be had in the world of Unpacking! This section is all about what you can do once you've technically 'finished' the game, focusing on those little extras and achievements you might have missed.

The great thing about Unpacking is that it's designed for relaxation, and that extends to post-completion. You don't need to stress about missing anything permanently, as the game is very forgiving. If you're aiming for 100% completion, you'll be happy to know that there are no missable or unobtainable achievements, and no online-only ones to worry about. You can achieve everything in just one playthrough, and it should only take you about 1 to 2 hours to get all 25 achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore.

The game is structured around levels that represent different stages of a person's life, moving from 1997 all the way up to the 2010s. Each level has a main story objective, but there are also specific actions you can take to unlock various achievements. If you're anything like me, you might have just focused on getting items into rooms without worrying too much about where they 'belonged'. That's totally fine! The game lets you place items anywhere if you turn on the 'Allow items anywhere' accessibility option. This is a lifesaver if you just want to get through the unpacking process quickly, or if you want to create some truly unique (and possibly chaotic) room layouts.

General Tips for Continued Play:

• Embrace the Chaos: With the accessibility option on, don't be afraid to just place items wherever! Aesthetics don't matter for completion, so have fun with it.
• Item Interaction: Remember that some achievements require specific interactions with items. For example, you might need to press the !cn_B button while holding an item or hovering over it.
• Rotation is Key: Items auto-rotate to fit where you place them, but you can also manually rotate using !cn_B. This is super handy for fitting things into tight spots or on shelves.
• Maximize Space: If you're running out of room, remember you can move between rooms using !cn_LB or !cn_RB, and rooms often have vertical space you can scroll into.
• Clothes Hangers: In later levels, you'll have a lot of clothes to unpack. Hanging them up on the provided racks is a great way to keep your space tidy and prevent items from getting lost.

Specific Achievement Hunting:

While the game is story-driven, many achievements are tied to specific actions. For instance, in the 1997 level, you can unlock the 'Solve a puzzle' achievement by repeatedly pressing !cn_B while holding the Rubik's Cube until it's solved. Another achievement, 'Make some memories', is unlocked by simply placing the Polaroid camera.

The 'Gotta flush 'em all' achievement requires you to flush toilets across multiple levels, starting with the one in the 1997 level. Keep an eye out for these specific interactions as you replay levels or explore any you haven't fully completed.

Don't forget that you can replay any level at any time by selecting the corresponding year from the main menu. This makes it easy to go back and find any items or perform any actions needed for achievements you might have missed on your first run-through. So, even after the credits roll, there's still a satisfying journey ahead to uncover all that Unpacking has to offer!
