Ever fancied the life of a postal worker, juggling the stress of speedy deliveries under intense pressure? If that's your kind of thrill, then you might want to check out Boxbound, an upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler. In Boxbound, you'll step into the shoes of a postal worker alongside your colleague Peter, tackling the daily grind of stacking boxes and making deliveries amidst a backdrop of strange, world-changing events.
The gameplay is straightforward yet engaging: your mission is to fit differently-shaped boxes onto a winding grid, all while navigating the city streets and dodging various obstacles. But here's the twist: you'll encounter unexpected challenges such as power outages and debris that you'll need to sweep away from your grid. And if that's not enough, the world outside your delivery truck is in constant motion, adding another layer of complexity to your job.
Your trusty co-worker Peter will keep you updated on the bizarre happenings that continuously alter your work environment in increasingly weird ways. From power outages to debris, and even more chaotic events, Peter's updates add a dynamic element to the game that keeps you on your toes.
Neither snow, nor rain... And that's just scratching the surface. Boxbound boasts a functionally limitless number of levels and a variety of package shapes that you unlock as you progress. A quick glance at the trailer hints at the whacky, weird, and slightly sinister experiences awaiting players.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound promises a unique charm that will keep players hooked. While the core gameplay might not be my cup of tea, the sight of Peter donning colorful outfits and the chaotic, strange external events — including shipping explosives — pique my curiosity. I'm eager to dive in and see what this game is all about!
