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

If you've ever fantasized about life as a postal worker, navigating the nerve-wracking stress of making speedy deliveries under intense pressure, Boxbound might just be the game for you. This upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler lets you step into the shoes of a postal worker alongside your fellow employee, Peter, as you stack boxes, make deliveries, and contend with bizarre, world-altering events.

In Boxbound, the gameplay is straightforward yet challenging. Your task is to fit variously-shaped boxes onto a winding grid before making your deliveries while navigating city streets filled with obstacles. The twist? You'll encounter everything from power outages to debris that you need to clear from the grid.

And if that weren't enough, the world outside continues to move and change while you're working. Peter, your good friend and co-worker, will keep you updated on these strange occurrences that drastically and increasingly bizarrely affect your job.

Neither snow, nor rain...This doesn't even begin to cover the endless levels and the variety of package shapes you'll unlock as you progress. A glance at the trailer suggests the kind of wacky, weird, and somewhat sinister experience Boxbound aims to deliver.

Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound promises a unique charm that will keep players engaged. While the gameplay itself might not be my cup of tea, the sight of Peter donning colorful outfits and the hint of chaotic and strange events outside—including shipping explosives—piques my curiosity. I feel compelled to discover what this game is all about!
