Ever dreamt of being a postal worker, navigating the nerve-wracking stress of speedy deliveries under intense pressure? If so, you might find the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound intriguing. In this game, you take on the role of a postal worker alongside your fellow employee, Peter, as you stack boxes, make deliveries, and encounter strange, world-changing events.
The gameplay in Boxbound is straightforward yet challenging. You'll need to fit variously-shaped boxes onto a snaking grid before making deliveries while driving through city streets and dodging obstacles. The twist lies in the unexpected events you'll face, such as power outages and debris that must be cleared from the grid.
Adding to the excitement, the outside world will be constantly moving while you're working. Peter, your good friend and fellow employee, will keep you updated on all the bizarre happenings that drastically change your work environment in increasingly weird ways.
Neither snow, nor rain... That's just the beginning. Boxbound offers a functionally limitless number of levels and additional package shapes that you'll unlock as you progress. The trailer hints at the game's whacky, weird, and somewhat sinister atmosphere.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound promises a unique charm that will keep players engaged. While the gameplay might not appeal to everyone, Peter's colorful outfit changes and the chaotic, strange events outside - including shipping explosives - add an intriguing layer that compels you to explore what the game is all about.
