Boxbound helps you experience the stress and strangeness of being a postal worker, coming soon

If you've ever fantasized about the life of a postal worker, complete with the adrenaline rush of making speedy deliveries under intense pressure, you might find the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound intriguing. In this game, you'll step into the shoes of a postal worker alongside your colleague Peter, navigating the challenges of stacking boxes and making deliveries amidst a backdrop of strange, world-changing events.

The gameplay in Boxbound is straightforward yet engaging: you must fit various shapes of boxes onto a winding grid before setting off to make deliveries across the city streets, all while dodging obstacles. The real twist comes from the unexpected events you'll encounter, such as power outages and debris that you'll need to clear from the grid.

Adding to the challenge, the world outside your delivery route is constantly in motion. Your friend and fellow employee Peter will keep you updated on these bizarre occurrences, which can drastically and increasingly weirdly alter your work environment.

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 a unique and engaging experience. A glance at the trailer hints at the whacky, weird, and somewhat sinister atmosphere that awaits players.

Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound aims to captivate players with its distinctive charm, encouraging them to return for more. While the gameplay itself might not be my cup of tea, the sight of Peter donning colorful outfits and the chaotic, strange events unfolding outside, which involve shipping everything from regular parcels to explosives, piques my curiosity.
