While the game play itself looks incredibly satisfying – part block-fitting puzzle and part home decoration – there’s a clever narrative that unfolds throughout this game that’ll give it deeper meaning. Unpacking by Witch Beam – November 2 ndĪ zen puzzle game about unpacking personal belongings from moving boxes and putting them away in a new living space, Unpacking sounds like the ideal tonic for modern day stress. A Nintendo Switch release for the game will follow. To The Rescue is launching on PC via Steam on November 4 th.

What’s more, 20% of all profits from To The Rescue will be donated to the Petfinder Foundation which will go to help real world dogs. This is all underpinned by a story line that’ll have you expanding your shelter, dealing with disease outbreaks and making very tough decisions.

Some owners will only go home with a dog type they specify while others will immediately gravitate to a canine companion they didn’t know they wanted. Prospective owners will arrive at your shelter and will have an ideal dog in mind. Unique dogs will be brought to your dog’s home and it’s your job to care for them, learning and then respecting their individual needs, with the ultimate aim of finding them a new home. In the game, you design, run and manage a dog shelter.

The graphics are looking pretty tired by now too, and there's only a measly two new campaigns for you to try, despite the extra 20 challenges. It's hardly rocket science, but then, neither is the act of exploiting marine mammals for cold hard cash.

You can either duck out of the hard work by hiring a trainer, or do it yourself, which consists of tracing a line and pressing the right buttons at the correct time. However, the title's saved from being a total waste of time by the ability to train your animals and put on shows. Despite the 20 new animals, this proves a little underwhelming and the building itself is pretty fiddly if you try to experiment with anything flashy, like underwater viewing sections. You can now build tanks in your parks and fill them with the requisite fish, sea mammals, coral and rock. This time round, the emphasis is on getting your feet wet by setting up aquarium-based exhibits - think along the lines of Seo World. It seems the life of a zoo keeper is never dull (but it may well be full of crap). Taking their cue from Maxis' expansion-meister The Sims, Blue Fang seem to be churning out these Zoo Tycoon expansions at an alarming rate.
