If you've ever dreamed of stepping into the shoes of a postal worker, navigating the nerve-wracking stress of making speedy deliveries under intense pressure, then the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound might be just the game for you. In Boxbound, you take on the role of a postal worker alongside your fellow employee, Peter, where you'll stack boxes, make deliveries, and deal with strange, world-changing events.
The gameplay in Boxbound is straightforward yet challenging: you must fit variously-shaped boxes onto a snaking grid before making deliveries as you drive along the city streets, dodging obstacles left and right. The twist comes with unexpected events like power outages and debris that need to be swept up, adding layers of complexity to your task.
And as if that weren't enough, the outside world keeps moving and changing while you're working. Peter, your good friend and fellow employee, will keep you updated on all the goings-on that drastically and increasingly bizarrely alter your work environment.
Neither snow, nor rain...This doesn't even begin to cover the virtually limitless number of levels in Boxbound or the additional shapes of packages you'll unlock as you progress. A glance at the trailer suggests the kind of whacky, weird, and somewhat sinister experience Boxbound promises to deliver.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound offers a unique charm that's sure to keep players coming back for more. While the gameplay itself might not initially sway everyone, seeing Peter in his colorful outfits and the hints of chaotic and strange external events—including shipping explosives—piques curiosity about what this game is all about.
