If you've ever dreamed of stepping into the shoes of a postal worker, navigating the high-stress world of making speedy deliveries under intense pressure, you might be wondering what the appeal could possibly be. But if that's your kind of thrill, the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound might just be the game for you.
In Boxbound, you take on the role of a postal worker alongside your colleague Peter, tasked with stacking boxes and making deliveries across the bustling city streets. The gameplay is straightforward yet challenging: you must fit boxes of various shapes onto a snaking grid before delivering them, all while dodging obstacles and navigating through the urban chaos. But the real twist comes from the unexpected events that disrupt your work—from power outages to debris that you need to clear off the grid.
And if you think the challenges are limited to your immediate environment, think again. The world outside your postal route is constantly in flux, with Peter keeping you updated on the bizarre and increasingly strange occurrences that drastically alter your job. From whimsical to downright sinister, these changes keep the gameplay fresh and unpredictable.
**Neither snow, nor rain...** This motto barely scratches the surface of what you'll encounter in Boxbound. With a seemingly endless array of levels and an ever-expanding variety of package shapes to unlock as you progress, the game promises a unique and engaging experience. A quick glance at the trailer hints at the whacky, weird, and somewhat sinister journey that awaits players.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound offers a distinctive charm that is likely to keep players coming back for more. While the core gameplay might not be everyone's cup of tea, the colorful transformations of Peter and the chaotic, strange events—from shipping explosives to dealing with the unexpected—pique curiosity and demand a closer look.
