If you've ever been curious about the life of a postal worker, with its nerve-wracking stress of making speedy deliveries and working under intense pressure, then the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound might just be the game for you.
In Boxbound, you'll take on the role of a postal worker alongside your fellow employee Peter. The gameplay is straightforward yet challenging: you must stack variously-shaped boxes onto a snaking grid and make deliveries as you navigate through city streets, dodging obstacles along the way. But the game isn't just about deliveries; it's filled with twists and turns. You'll encounter everything from power outages to debris that needs clearing from the grid.
And as if that wasn't enough, the world outside your postal route is constantly in motion, impacting your job in increasingly bizarre ways. Peter, your colleague, will keep you updated on these strange, world-changing events, ensuring that your workday is anything but ordinary.
Neither snow, nor rain...
The game promises a functionally limitless number of levels and an ever-growing variety of package shapes to unlock as you progress. A quick glance at the trailer hints at the whacky, weird, and somewhat sinister experience that awaits in Boxbound.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound offers a distinctive charm that's sure to keep players coming back for more. While the gameplay itself might not be my personal cup of tea, the sight of Peter switching colorful outfits and the chaos of handling everything from regular packages to explosives piques my curiosity. It's a game that promises to be a wild ride.
