Witch Beam’s Unpacking is a big hit, in no small part thanks to the development team’s meticulous attention to detail, including the game’s audio. Hear Emily Reese’s great interview with Jeff and Angela van Dyck on how that excellent sound was made. And as a bonus, we’ve also included Jeff van Dyck’s 54 minute GDC talk on the sound of the game, the soundtrack & more.

There are 14,000 sound effects (aka “Foley”) in the game . That’s a handful. And what a charming game, no dialog, just art and sound. You learn the story as you unpack the belongings of a young girl as she grows up, goes to college, moves in with friends, then experiences different relationships in adult life.
Jeff and Angela van Dyck are responsible for the audio, and Jeff wrote gleefully chill, melodic and thoughtful music to represent various phases of the woman’s life. I love it so very much. Get the full album on Bandcamp here.
