Moving Houses: A Cozy Chaos of Packing and… Horror?

Moving Houses isn’t your average packing simulator. While ostensibly a charming, physics-based first-person game about the mundane task of moving, it quickly reveals a delightfully unsettling undercurrent. The premise is simple: you must pack up your house, meticulously placing items into boxes or, if you prefer, unleashing your inner chaos goblin and flinging everything about. The satisfaction of ticking items off your checklist provides a satisfying loop of casual gameplay.

But the game’s true charm lies in its deceptive nature. The initial cozy atmosphere, complete with comfy gameplay and instant gratification, is gradually undermined by unsettling details. The innocent act of packing soon morphs into a surreal experience. The cheerful task list hints at something more sinister lurking beneath the surface. The game’s description itself teases this duality: “Wait, horror? Isn’t this a cute casual game for the young at heart? Sorry, you heard me, horror.”

Expect around 3 hours of gameplay to complete the main story, with an additional 3 for completionists eager to unearth all the secrets. This extra time is well spent, as the game’s unsettling elements deepen, culminating in a truly bizarre and unexpected climax. The question of “Whose blood?” hangs heavy in the air, promising a journey far more unsettling than the simple act of moving house would suggest. While suitable for older children, parental guidance is advised due to the game’s sudden shifts in tone and the presence of mild violence. Moving Houses is a unique blend of casual fun and creeping dread, a quirky experience that will leave you both amused and slightly unnerved.
