"Boxbound: Experience Postal Worker Stress Soon"

If the thrill of being a postal worker, navigating the stress of making speedy deliveries under intense pressure appeals to you, then the upcoming satirical, story-adjacent puzzler Boxbound might just be your next gaming obsession. While I personally struggle to see the allure, there's no denying that Boxbound offers a unique twist on the genre.

In Boxbound, your role as a postal worker involves stacking variously-shaped boxes onto a snaking grid before making deliveries. As you drive through the city streets, you'll need to dodge obstacles and manage unexpected challenges like power outages and debris that must be cleared from your path. The game keeps you on your toes, with the world around you constantly in motion, adding layers of complexity to your job.

Your companion in this adventure is Peter, your fellow employee, who keeps you updated on the bizarre and ever-changing events that impact your work. From mundane shifts to downright weird occurrences, Peter's updates add a narrative depth that enhances the gameplay experience.

Neither snow, nor rain... Boxbound isn't just about the immediate challenges; it boasts a functionally limitless number of levels and introduces new package shapes as you progress. A quick glance at the trailer suggests a whacky, weird, and somewhat sinister journey awaits.

Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound promises a distinctive charm that will keep players engaged. While the core gameplay might not be my cup of tea, the sight of Peter in his colorful outfits and the hint of chaotic, strange events—including shipping explosives—piques my curiosity. It's a game that compels me to explore further and discover what it's all about!
