If you've ever fantasized about the life of a postal worker, navigating the nerve-wracking stress of making speedy deliveries under intense pressure, Boxbound might just be the game for you. This upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler lets you step into the shoes of a postal worker, teaming up with your colleague Peter to stack boxes, make deliveries, and handle some rather bizarre, world-changing events.
In Boxbound, gameplay revolves around fitting variously-shaped boxes onto a snaking grid before you set out to make deliveries across city streets, dodging obstacles as you go. But the real twist comes from the unexpected challenges you'll face, from power outages to debris that you must sweep away before continuing your route.
And as if that weren't enough, the world around you is in constant motion. Your trusty co-worker Peter will keep you informed about the increasingly strange events that drastically alter your workday, making each delivery a unique challenge.
Neither snow, nor rain...Boxbound boasts a virtually limitless number of levels and an array of package shapes that you'll unlock as you progress. A quick glance at the trailer hints at the whacky, weird, and somewhat sinister atmosphere the game promises to deliver.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound offers a distinctive charm that's sure to keep players hooked. While the gameplay itself might not be my cup of tea, the sight of Peter donning colorful outfits and the hints of chaotic and strange happenings outside, including shipping explosives, have piqued my curiosity.
