About the Game

Boxes?!?

This is a game about boxes! Where you play as a box, summoning boxes, while learning about boxes and all their useful uses. Will you accept our cardboard overlords? Will you not do that?.. It's up to you I guess.

Do You Love Boxes?

A GAME ABOUT BOXES is a short platformer based story where you interact with the games narrator whilst learning all about boxes and their useful usefulness. As you make choices whether to follow the narrators instructions or delve into its frustrations you'll discover multiple endings and secrets whilst deciding your little boxes fate.

Don't Be Square!!

Enjoy the hollow, empty atmosphere, accompanied by original ambience and music including "Eating Chicken Almonds and Rice" by ACardboardBox, "Forest Noise" by ACardboardBox and hit song "Unpalpable Joy" by ACardboardBox.
