Unpacking

Lovely story, but very short

I did not recognize that a story was being told until the boyfriend level and the inability to place a certain item anywhere, at which point it clicked. The next level I didn't recognize the actual room until it was completed and I got the scrapbook text, at which point I realized the game was actually intensely clever in how it constructed the narrative. The end caught me by surprise because it came too quickly, there was still plenty of potential in the story being told; I went back and replayed the levels a bit to get the last bit of information out of them through the stickers, but after that it's over; this felt more like reading a short tale than playing a game. As a game in isolation it doesn't deserve this high a score, but it gets major bonus points for using that limited gameplay in an unexpected way to feed a story and tons of background information to the player.
