If you've ever fantasized about the life of a postal worker, complete with the adrenaline rush of making swift deliveries under intense pressure, you might be a bit of an enigma. But if that's your thing, the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound could be exactly what you're looking for.
In Boxbound, you step into the shoes of a postal worker alongside your colleague Peter. The gameplay is straightforward yet challenging: you must fit boxes of various shapes onto a snaking grid before setting off to make deliveries across the bustling city streets, all while dodging obstacles. But here's where it gets interesting—the game throws unexpected twists at you, from sudden power outages to debris that needs clearing from your grid.
And if you thought that was all, think again. The world outside is constantly in flux, and your trusty co-worker Peter will keep you updated on the bizarre and ever-changing events that dramatically affect your job. From mundane shifts to downright weird occurrences, Peter's colorful outfit changes hint at the chaos unfolding around you.
Neither snow, nor rain... That's just the tip of the iceberg. Boxbound boasts a functionally limitless number of levels and introduces new package shapes as you progress. A quick glance at the trailer showcases the game's quirky, slightly sinister atmosphere that promises an engaging experience.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound offers a unique charm that's sure to keep players hooked. While the gameplay itself might not be my cup of tea, the allure of Peter's vibrant wardrobe changes and the chaotic, strange events that have you delivering everything from everyday items to explosives piqued my curiosity. I'm eager to dive in and see what this game is all about!
