If you've ever fantasized about the life of a postal worker, grappling with the high-stakes thrill of timely deliveries and the pressure of the job, you might find the allure a bit perplexing. But if that's your kind of excitement, then the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound could be your next gaming obsession.
In Boxbound, you step into the shoes of a postal worker alongside your colleague Peter, embarking on a journey of stacking boxes and making deliveries across the city's bustling streets. The core gameplay revolves around fitting oddly-shaped boxes onto a winding grid before you hit the road to deliver them, all while dodging obstacles that come your way. But what sets Boxbound apart are the unexpected twists—think power outages, debris that needs clearing, and more.
And the world outside? It's constantly in motion, transforming your workday into a series of unpredictable challenges. Peter, your trusty co-worker, keeps you updated on the bizarre events that shift your job into increasingly surreal territories.
**Neither snow, nor rain...** That's just the tip of the iceberg. Boxbound boasts a virtually endless array of levels, with new and intriguing package shapes unlocking as you advance. A quick glance at the trailer hints at the game's quirky, weird, and slightly sinister atmosphere.
Set to launch on March 31st, Boxbound promises a unique charm that will keep players hooked. While the gameplay itself might not be my cup of tea, Peter's vibrant outfit changes and the chaotic, strange occurrences outside—which might even involve shipping explosives—pique my curiosity. It's a world I'm eager to explore!
