Whisper of the House structures unpacking as a guided experience. Every object has **only one valid placement**, and players must finish arranging all items in a room to unlock subsequent areas.
TLDR:
• Each item has one correct spot
• Boxes must be emptied to unlock the next room
• Objects left over belong in another room
• Certain placements unlock achievements
Core Mechanics
Players arrange objects by dragging them from boxes. Correct placements spark **visual highlights**, while misplaced items indicate they belong to future rooms.
