If the idea of being a postal worker under the intense pressure of making speedy deliveries sounds appealing to you, then the upcoming satirical, story-based puzzler Boxbound might just be your next obsession.
In Boxbound, you'll step into the shoes of a postal worker, teaming up with your fellow employee Peter to stack boxes and make deliveries across the city. The gameplay is straightforward: you must fit various shapes of boxes onto a snaking grid before navigating the streets to complete your deliveries. But it's not just about the deliveries; you'll also dodge obstacles and deal with unexpected challenges like power outages and debris that need clearing from the grid.
What sets Boxbound apart is its dynamic world. As you work, the environment around you is in constant flux, and Peter will keep you updated on these bizarre, world-altering events that affect your job in increasingly strange ways. From the trailer, it's clear that Boxbound promises a quirky, somewhat sinister experience with endless levels and an ever-growing variety of package shapes to unlock as you progress.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound offers a unique charm that's likely to keep players engaged and coming back for more. While the gameplay might not be everyone's cup of tea, the sight of Peter in colorful outfits and the chaotic, unpredictable nature of the outside world - including handling deliveries of explosives - piques curiosity and promises a wild ride.
