If you've ever fantasized about the high-pressure world of postal work, the nerve-wracking stress of speedy deliveries, and the thrill of working under intense pressure, you might find the upcoming satirical story-based puzzler Boxbound intriguing. This game offers a unique twist on the daily grind of a postal worker, where you'll collaborate with your fellow employee, Peter, to stack boxes, make deliveries, and navigate through bizarre, world-altering events.
In Boxbound, the gameplay is straightforward yet challenging: you must fit variously-shaped boxes onto a snaking grid while driving through city streets, dodging obstacles along the way. The real twist comes from the unexpected events that you'll encounter, such as power outages and debris that needs clearing from the grid.
And if you thought the chaos was confined to your immediate workspace, think again. The outside world is in constant flux, and your friend Peter will keep you informed about these strange occurrences that drastically alter your workday, making it weirder and weirder with each passing moment.
Neither snow, nor rain...
The game boasts a functionally limitless number of levels and an ever-expanding variety of package shapes that you'll unlock as you progress. A quick glance at the trailer suggests Boxbound will be a whacky, weird, and somewhat sinister experience.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound promises a distinctive charm that will keep players engaged and coming back for more. While the gameplay itself might not be my cup of tea, the sight of Peter donning colorful outfits and the hints of chaotic, strange events unfolding outside - including shipping explosives - pique my curiosity. It's a game that compels me to explore further.
