Unpacking News

This update adds five additional languages, and addresses some bugs and small issues we've had reported.

• Language support for Italian, Turkish, Indonesian, Filipino and Malay languages - where possible the game will use the language specified in your Steam client, but it's always been possible to set your preferred language in game from the Settings menu on the Title Screen
  
• Fixed a disappearing text issue that was affecting some MacOS and Linux users
  
• Fixed various small issues
  
• Made some adjustments to item validation based on player feedback
  

We've also had reports that some Mac users are receiving warnings that Unpacking has been blocked because it may reduce privacy and lower security. As this did not coincide with a game update we're not sure what caused this change.

Unpacking does not track or transmit user data (beyond anything required for Steam to function) but we do not recommend anyone disregard the safety messages of their operating system. If this update doesn't improve the situation we will continue to investigate.

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2022!

Nintendo’s Indie World recently put out a video summing up the best-selling indie games for 2021 (thanks Kotaku), and it’s got some real gems in it. Though we don’t know ranking for sure, the video featured both familiar faces and new challengers.

The complete list in order of appearance is as follows:

Some of these games aren’t surprises. Tetris Effect, Spelunky 2, and Subnautica are just some of the more recognizable names. But appearing alongside them are newer IP like Unpacking, Ender Lilies, and Eastward, all games that have reviewed really well but were unproven entities sales-wise until now.
