In this game, you step into the shoes of a postal worker alongside your colleague Peter, tasked with stacking boxes, making deliveries, and navigating through a series of bizarre, world-altering events.
The gameplay in Boxbound is deceptively simple: you must fit various shapes of boxes onto a winding grid before setting off to make deliveries across the city streets, all while dodging obstacles. But the real challenge comes from the unexpected twists, such as power outages and debris that you'll need to clear from the grid.
Adding to the complexity, the world outside your postal route is in constant flux. Your trusty coworker Peter will keep you updated on these ever-changing conditions, which can drastically and bizarrely affect your workday.
Neither snow, nor rain... This phrase barely scratches the surface of what Boxbound offers. With a functionally limitless number of levels and an array of new package shapes to unlock as you progress, the game promises endless variety. A glance at the trailer hints at the quirky, weird, and even sinister experiences awaiting players.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound boasts a unique charm that's sure to keep players engaged. While the core gameplay might not be everyone's cup of tea, the sight of Peter donning colorful outfits and the chaotic, strange events unfolding outside—ranging from mundane to shipping explosives—piques curiosity and promises an intriguing experience.
