Introduction
For those of you who don't know, there's this dark star version of the game where instead of putting everything in the right place, you put it in the wrong one. Here's an explanation of it, but if you want something more professional and actually good I recommend this guide: https://www.speedrun.com/unpacking/guides/8dsfh and this wiki: https://unpacking.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Star they're more simple and better than this, but maybe still listen to my guide just because. Anyways let's get started I guess. Also this guide will have spoilers for the entire game, so stop right now if you haven't beaten it yet.
Rules and Facts
Pretty much you have to put everything in the wrong spots, but here's a more in depth explanation (It's not really in depth).

If you see the red outlines on the objects there's probably one thing that the game says is correctly placed. If you did it correctly you'll see a dark star instead of a yellow one.

Here's a few facts.
There isn't an achievement for this playthrough.
There's a whole speedrun category for the dark star thingy.
You get new text, but it's the same for every room.
The song at the end gets changed to a more funky and cool one. (personally I think it sound better)

Here's the new text for the pictures now.
1997

Now that pictures are being shown. Could you maybe give this guide some awards and likes?
2004

I know this guide is really just a crappost, but maybe give me some points.
2007

Well anyways I do hope you like this guide.
2010

It's a hot mess, but you're actually reading it still.
2011

You've wasted minutes of your life looking at a dumpster fire.
2012

So thanks for reading this and wasting time.
2015

I'm not actually sure if the dates are correct.
2018

But still thanks for reading this thing.
Ending

A bit of help
Now that you've looked at pictures, here's some things that could be helpful in your dark star run.

Look for bad spots to put things in. For example insecticide in the crib, stuffed toys on the stove, monitors on the tops of shelves. Just stuff that really shouldn't be there.
Be attentive. You have to pay attention to the screen and make sure that the object has a red outline otherwise you could spend 30 minutes looking at objects that have ones. When you find one that doesn't have an outline, keep placing it in various places until it has one.

I think those are all the tips I have for you.
Conclusion
This should maybe help you and inform you about this playthrough thingy. Thank you for spending precious minutes/seconds of your life looking at this guide. The End. Goodbye and I hope you have a nice day or whatever time it is for you.

Haha! The last one is so adorable. I'll have to check this out! Also, when you end the unpacking round in a different room, you get a different ending message. Try it out!
