If you've ever fantasized about the hectic life of a postal worker, grappling with the nerve-wracking stress of making speedy deliveries under intense pressure, you might find the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound intriguing.
In Boxbound, you step into the shoes of a postal worker, teaming up with your fellow employee, Peter, to navigate the daily grind. The gameplay is straightforward yet challenging: you must fit variously-shaped boxes onto a snaking grid before making deliveries while driving through city streets, dodging obstacles at every turn. The twist? You'll encounter unexpected events like power outages and debris that need clearing from the grid.
What sets Boxbound apart is the dynamic outside world that keeps moving while you work. Peter, your ever-present companion, will keep you updated on the bizarre, world-altering events that drastically change your job in increasingly strange ways.
Neither snow, nor rain... This game boasts a virtually limitless number of levels and a variety of package shapes that you'll unlock as you progress. The trailer hints at the whacky, weird, and somewhat sinister atmosphere that Boxbound promises to deliver.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound offers a unique charm that is likely to keep players engaged. While the gameplay itself may not be my cup of tea, the sight of Peter donning colorful outfits and the hint of chaotic, strange events outside—including the delivery of explosives—piques my curiosity. It's a game that I feel compelled to explore further!
