If you've ever fantasized about the life of a postal worker, complete with the adrenaline rush of making speedy deliveries under intense pressure, you might find the appeal a bit puzzling. But if that's your thing, the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound could be right up your alley.
In Boxbound, you step into the shoes of a postal worker alongside your colleague Peter. The gameplay is straightforward yet challenging: you must fit various shapes of boxes onto a winding grid before making deliveries while navigating city streets and dodging obstacles. The real twist comes from the unexpected events that shake up your routine, from power outages to debris that you need to clear from the grid.
And let's not forget, the world outside keeps moving while you're hard at work. Peter, your trusty coworker, will keep you updated on the bizarre and ever-changing events that drastically alter your job in increasingly weird ways.
Neither snow, nor rain... That's just the tip of the iceberg. Boxbound boasts a virtually limitless number of levels and introduces new package shapes as you progress. A quick glance at the trailer hints at the wacky, weird, and somewhat sinister experience that awaits players.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound promises a unique charm that will keep players coming back for more. While the gameplay itself might not be my cup of tea, the sight of Peter donning colorful outfits and the indication of chaotic and strange external events—including shipping explosives—piques my curiosity. I'm eager to dive in and see what it's all about!
