What a cute game. The design and music and gameplay as a whole are chill and enjoyable. The gameplay is exactly what it seems, you unpack items from boxes and find place for them around the protagonist's home as she moves to different places. There isn't much restriction with that, although a few items can only be put in specific shelves (the game will highlight those in red once all boxes in that level are unpacked). There are one or two things in each level that can be frustrating to place correctly. Story-wise, you get to discover the protagonist's interests, relationships, and what's going on in her life through the things she owns. Some items from her past stay, some disappear. There's so much attention to detail, for example the movies you unpack may seem familiar, or you watch mugs get broken and replaced, things like that. You can also interact with some items, but that's more for a fun effect than for the story. It's definitely an interesting form of storytelling that I haven't seen before and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My only complaint is that the game is pretty short, I finished it in one afternoon. It was 6 levels in total which have more rooms as the game progresses. For the price I expected a bit more. I also don't think I'll replay the game again any time soon, maybe an achievement hunter could to get all the stickers, but for me it was more about the story. I think it's worth getting the game, especially if you just want something nice, a little bit emotional, but overall relaxing, and if it looks like the gameplay is up your alley.
Resonance was a pleasant surprise. I finished the whole game in one afternoon, which might be short for some people, but for this game it felt just right. The story was interesting, so were the characters and it has beautiful graphics. The puzzles were good, too, not too difficult but not easy either. I'd definitely recommend it to fans of old-school point&click games. The only major downside for me was the short-term memory system used in conversations, which usually ended up being frustrating.
