If you've ever fantasized about the life of a postal worker, navigating the high-stress world of speedy deliveries under intense pressure, well, I can't quite fathom the allure. But if that's your cup of tea, then the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound might just be your next obsession.
In Boxbound, you'll step into the shoes of a postal worker alongside your colleague Peter. The core gameplay is straightforward yet challenging: you must stack boxes of various shapes onto a winding grid as you make your way through the city streets, dodging obstacles and making deliveries. But here's where it gets interesting—the game throws in unexpected twists like power outages and debris that you must sweep away to keep the deliveries flowing.
And let's not forget the dynamic outside world that keeps moving as you work. Peter, your trusty fellow employee, will keep you in the loop about the bizarre and ever-changing events that dramatically alter your job environment. From his colorful outfit changes to the increasingly chaotic scenarios you'll encounter, including shipping explosives, there's never a dull moment.
Neither snow, nor rain... That's just the tip of the iceberg. Boxbound boasts a virtually endless array of levels and new package shapes to unlock as you progress. A quick glance at the trailer suggests a wild, weird, and somewhat sinister experience awaits.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound promises a unique charm that will keep players hooked. While the gameplay itself may not be my personal favorite, the chaotic and strange events, coupled with Peter's vibrant wardrobe, compel me to dive in and see what it's all about!
