About
Packing is a fast-paced game where you rush to pack items from a vague list, leading to different endings. This was my second time joining a game jam that is outside of school. This was also the third game I've created on Unity during my Game Development course with GPS1 (The Shrine) being the first and GMTK 2023 (Munch & Multiply) being the second. At this point, I've had 2+ months of experience in using Unity.
