"Unpacking Game's Hidden 'Messy' Mode Surprises Players"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Polygon

Unpacking, a popular indie game, has seen a resurgence in interest after a TikTok video went viral, highlighting its secret "Dark Star" mode. In this mode, players must intentionally place items incorrectly to progress, a stark contrast to the game's main objective of orderly storage. Initially teased as an April Fools' joke, the mode has been embraced by fans and developers alike as a fresh way to experience the game's puzzles, offering an alternative to additional DLC or a sequel.
