If the idea of being a postal worker and navigating the stressful world of speedy deliveries and intense pressure appeals to you, the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound might be just what you're looking for.
In Boxbound, you take on the role of a postal worker alongside your fellow employee, Peter. The gameplay is straightforward: you need to stack variously-shaped boxes onto a snaking grid before making deliveries while driving through the city streets, dodging obstacles as you go. But here's the twist – you'll have to deal with unexpected events like power outages and debris on the grid that you'll need to clear away.
And if that wasn't challenging enough, the world outside keeps moving and changing while you're working. Peter will keep you updated on all the strange and increasingly bizarre occurrences that drastically alter your job. From everyday issues to downright surreal events, every shift in Boxbound is filled with surprises.
**Neither snow, nor rain...** That's not even touching on the virtually limitless number of levels or the variety of package shapes you'll unlock as you progress. A glance at the trailer suggests that Boxbound will offer a whacky, weird, and slightly sinister experience.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound promises a unique charm that will keep players coming back for more. While the core gameplay might not be my personal cup of tea, seeing Peter in his colorful outfits and knowing that you'll be dealing with everything from ordinary deliveries to shipping explosives makes me eager to discover what this game is all about.
