If you've ever been curious about life as a postal worker, with all its nerve-wracking stress and the pressure of speedy deliveries, then the upcoming satirical story-based puzzler, Boxbound, might be right up your alley. While I can't quite fathom the appeal myself, if this sounds like your kind of challenge, you're in for a treat.
In Boxbound, you'll step into the shoes of a postal worker alongside your colleague Peter. The core gameplay is straightforward yet engaging: you must fit various-shaped boxes onto a winding grid before making deliveries as you navigate the bustling city streets, all while dodging obstacles. But here's the catch—the game throws in unexpected twists, from power outages to debris that you'll need to clear from the grid.
And that's not all. As you work, the outside world keeps moving, and Peter will keep you updated on the bizarre events that drastically change your job. From colorful outfit changes to handling increasingly chaotic and even sinister situations, including shipping explosives, the game promises a rollercoaster of experiences.
**Neither snow, nor rain...** This phrase barely scratches the surface of what Boxbound offers. With a functionally limitless number of levels and new package shapes to unlock as you progress, the game teases a world full of whacky and weird adventures.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound promises a distinctive charm that will keep players coming back for more. While the gameplay itself might not be everyone's cup of tea, the intriguing narrative and the chaos unfolding around you make it an experience worth exploring.
