Ever dreamed of being a postal worker, navigating the stress and chaos of speedy deliveries? If so, the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound might just be your next obsession. I must admit, the appeal of this scenario escapes me, but if it's what you're looking for, Boxbound could be the perfect fit.
In Boxbound, you'll step into the shoes of a postal worker, teaming up with your colleague Peter. The gameplay is straightforward yet challenging: you must arrange variously-shaped boxes onto a winding grid before setting out to make deliveries. As you navigate the city streets, dodging obstacles and racing against time, you'll encounter unexpected twists. From sudden power outages to debris that you must clear, the game keeps you on your toes.
Adding to the excitement, the outside world is in constant motion while you're working. Peter, your fellow employee, will keep you updated on the bizarre and ever-changing events that impact your job in increasingly strange ways.
**Neither snow, nor rain...** This phrase barely scratches the surface of what Boxbound offers. With a functionally limitless number of levels and an array of package shapes to unlock as you progress, the game promises endless variety. A quick glance at the trailer reveals the whacky, weird, and somewhat sinister experiences awaiting players.
Boxbound is set to release on March 31st, promising a unique charm that will keep players engaged. While the core gameplay might not be my cup of tea, the sight of Peter donning colorful outfits and the hint of chaotic and strange events—like shipping explosives—piques my curiosity. I'm eager to uncover the full story.
