If the thought of being a postal worker, navigating the stress of speedy deliveries under intense pressure, appeals to you—although I must admit, I'm puzzled by the allure—Boxbound might just be the game you're looking for. This upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler lets you step into the shoes of a postal worker alongside your fellow employee Peter, where you'll stack boxes, make deliveries, and contend with bizarre, world-changing events.
In Boxbound, the gameplay revolves around fitting variously-shaped boxes onto a snaking grid before you embark on your delivery route through the bustling city streets, dodging obstacles along the way. But the real twist comes from the unexpected challenges you'll face, from sudden power outages to debris that you'll need to sweep from the grid.
And let's not forget the dynamic outside world that keeps moving while you're hard at work. Your colleague Peter will keep you updated on the ever-changing and increasingly bizarre events that significantly alter your job.
**Neither snow, nor rain...** This barely scratches the surface of what Boxbound has to offer. With a functionally limitless number of levels and a variety of package shapes that you'll unlock as you progress, the game promises a uniquely chaotic and somewhat sinister experience. A quick glance at the trailer hints at the whacky, weird journey that awaits players.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound offers a distinctive charm that's bound to keep players engaged. While the core gameplay might not be my cup of tea, the sight of Peter donning colorful outfits and the indication of handling everything from regular packages to explosives amidst chaotic external events piques my curiosity. I'm eager to uncover what this game is all about!
