If you've ever been intrigued by the hectic life of a postal worker, dealing with 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 alongside your colleague Peter, where you'll stack boxes, make deliveries, and navigate through a series of strange, world-changing events.
In Boxbound, the gameplay is straightforward yet challenging: you must fit differently-shaped boxes onto a winding grid before delivering them as you maneuver through city streets, dodging various obstacles. The game introduces unexpected twists such as power outages and debris that you'll need to clear from the grid.
What sets Boxbound apart is the dynamic outside world that continuously evolves while you're on the job. Your fellow employee Peter keeps you informed about these bizarre and increasingly strange events that drastically alter your work environment.
Neither snow, nor rain...And that's just scratching the surface. Boxbound offers a virtually endless array of levels and an expanding variety of package shapes as you progress. A glance at the trailer hints at the quirky, weird, and somewhat sinister experience awaiting players.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound promises a unique charm that will keep players engaged. While the gameplay might not appeal to everyone, the sight of Peter donning colorful outfits and the chaotic, unpredictable external events—including shipping explosives—piques curiosity about what lies ahead.
