Ever dreamt of stepping into the shoes of a postal worker, navigating the high-stress world of swift deliveries and tight deadlines? If that sounds like your kind of thrill, the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound might just be your next obsession.
In Boxbound, you'll take on the role of a postal worker alongside your colleague Peter. The gameplay is straightforward yet challenging: you must fit boxes of various shapes onto a winding grid before making deliveries while navigating bustling city streets and dodging obstacles. But there's a twist—expect the unexpected, as you'll encounter everything from sudden power outages to debris that needs clearing from the grid.
As you work, the world around you won't stand still. Peter, your fellow employee, will keep you informed about the bizarre and ever-changing events that dramatically affect your job. And yes, the world outside is constantly in motion, adding to the dynamic nature of your deliveries.
The old adage "Neither snow, nor rain..." takes on a whole new meaning in Boxbound. With a functionally limitless number of levels and an array of package shapes to unlock as you progress, the game promises a quirky and somewhat sinister experience. Just a glance at the trailer hints at the whacky, weird world you'll dive into.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound is poised to captivate players with its unique charm. While the core gameplay might not be everyone's cup of tea, the sight of Peter donning colorful outfits and the chaotic, strange events unfolding outside—ranging from normal packages to shipping explosives—piques curiosity about what lies ahead.
