The game lets you step into the shoes of a postal worker alongside your fellow employee, Peter, as you navigate through a series of challenging tasks.
In Boxbound, the gameplay revolves around fitting variously-shaped boxes onto a snaking grid before making deliveries. As you drive through city streets, you'll need to dodge obstacles and manage unexpected twists like power outages and debris that require clearing. The game's unique feature is the ever-changing external environment, with Peter keeping you informed about bizarre events that drastically alter your workday.
Neither snow, nor rain... The game offers a functionally limitless number of levels and introduces new package shapes as you progress. A glance at the trailer suggests a whimsical, yet slightly sinister experience awaiting players.
Set to release on March 31st, Boxbound promises a distinctive charm that will keep players engaged.
