Dark Star Guide

Dark Star is a secret ending for Unpacking. Instead of placing items normally to achieve a gold star at the end of each level, you want to place each item incorrectly, where it would have a red outline around it in a normal playthrough. Placing every item incorrectly produces a black star at the end of each level. 

General Tips:
-Some items count as being placed correctly if they are right along the foot of the bed, so be mindful of that. Books are fine along the foot of the bed.
-Shoes can surprisingly be placed in a lot of locations, but usually it's guaranteed that they can't be placed along the edge of a room, or on a bed.
-Clothes can go under a bed, but hangers cannot.

You also have to unplace items that are already pre-placed when you start a level. Here is a list of items that need to be unplaced in each level:

1997
-None

2004
-Hangers in the bedroom closet

2007
-Hangers in the bedroom closet
-Post-it note on bulletin board above bed
-2 gray figures in the dining room

2010
-Literally everything that is already placed except for these items in the living room: CD stand, all dumbbells, and all items on the wall

2012
-Literally everything that is already placed in both rooms, including items in drawers and cabinets in the bathroom

2013
When placing items in 2013, be conscious about the fact that things will be rearranged in 2015.
-None

2015
-Bath mat in tub
-Cleaning fluid and trash bags in cabinet under sink in the kitchen
-Unplace anything that got placed correctly from new furniture being added. Places to check: bedroom closet, living room shelves, office desk

2018
-None
