If you've ever been intrigued by the hectic life of a postal worker, the upcoming satirical, story-based puzzler Boxbound might just be the game for you. Imagine navigating the nerve-wracking stress of making speedy deliveries and working under intense pressure. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but if it's yours, then Boxbound offers a unique take on the experience.
In Boxbound, you step into the shoes of a postal worker alongside your fellow employee, Peter. The gameplay is straightforward yet challenging: you must fit variously-shaped boxes onto a snaking grid before making your deliveries. As you drive along the city streets, you'll need to dodge obstacles and handle unexpected events like power outages and debris that must be cleared from the grid.
The twist in Boxbound comes from the ever-changing world outside your delivery route. Peter keeps you updated on these bizarre occurrences, which can drastically alter your work in increasingly strange ways. The game promises a functionally limitless number of levels and introduces new package shapes as you progress, ensuring that each delivery run is unique and engaging.
Neither snow, nor rain...Just a glimpse at the trailer hints at the whacky, weird, and somewhat sinister atmosphere that Boxbound will deliver. Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound is poised to charm players with its distinctive gameplay and narrative.
Personally, while the core gameplay may not initially appeal to everyone, the sight of Peter in colorful outfits and the chaotic, strange events that unfold outside, including the handling of explosives, piques my curiosity. It's a game that promises to offer a unique and compelling experience that I'm eager to explore.
