Boxbound: Experience Postal Worker Stress Soon

If you've ever fantasized about the life of a postal worker, grappling with the high-stress environment of speedy deliveries and tight deadlines, you might find the appeal a bit puzzling. But if that's your kind of thrill, the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound could be your next obsession.

In Boxbound, you step into the shoes of a postal worker alongside your colleague Peter. The gameplay is straightforward yet challenging: you must stack variously-shaped boxes onto a winding grid before making deliveries across the city streets, all while dodging obstacles. The real twist, however, lies in the unexpected events that disrupt your routine. From sudden power outages to debris cluttering the grid that you must clear, the game keeps you on your toes.

And that's not all – the world outside your delivery truck is in constant flux. Peter, your fellow employee, will keep you updated on these bizarre occurrences, which will drastically and increasingly bizarrely affect your work.

Neither snow, nor rain...The game boasts a seemingly endless array of levels and introduces new package shapes as you advance. A glance at the trailer hints at the wild, weird, and slightly sinister experiences that await in Boxbound.

Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound promises a unique charm that will keep players hooked. While the core gameplay might not immediately grab me, the sight of Peter donning vibrant outfits and the hint of chaotic, strange events—including shipping explosives—piques my curiosity. I'm eager to dive in and see what unfolds.
