If you've ever harbored a desire to be a postal worker, facing the nerve-wracking stress of making speedy deliveries under intense pressure, you might find the upcoming satirical story-based puzzler Boxbound intriguing. In this game, you'll take on the role of a postal worker alongside your colleague Peter, tasked with stacking boxes, making deliveries, and navigating through bizarre, world-altering events.
The gameplay in Boxbound is straightforward yet challenging: you must fit variously-shaped boxes onto a snaking grid while making deliveries as you drive through city streets, dodging obstacles. The game adds a twist with unexpected events like power outages and debris on the grid that you'll need to clear. And as if that's not enough, the world outside is constantly in motion, affecting your job in increasingly strange ways. Your colleague Peter will keep you updated on these developments, adding a layer of narrative depth to your daily grind.
Neither snow, nor rain... That's just the beginning. Boxbound offers a virtually limitless number of levels and introduces new package shapes as you progress. A glance at the trailer hints at the game's quirky, weird, and slightly sinister atmosphere.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound promises a unique charm that will keep players coming back for more. While the gameplay itself might not be everyone's cup of tea, the sight of Peter donning colorful outfits and the chaotic, strange events outside—including the possibility of shipping explosives—piques curiosity and invites exploration.
