About the Game

The Box is Delivered. Early Access is out now! Thank you and hope you have fun playing the game.

GET DELIVERED OR GET TRASHED TRYING!

Take a sentient package on a wild ride from warehouse to welcome mat in this physics-based, 3D platformer! Roll through silly situations and perilous obstacles alike—mastering the controls to deliver yourself on time. In The Box is Alive, it’s either get delivered or get trashed trying!

NO LABEL? NO PROBLEM.

Boreal—the world’s once-dominant shipping service—is gone. The lights are off, the humans have vanished, and the warehouse sits in silence. That’s when you wake up and, with no couriers in sight, decide to take matters into your own flaps. Looks like your ETA is up to you.

CONTROL WITH CARE.

Easy to pick up, tough to master. The Box is Alive features a deliberately deep movement system that rewards both creativity and precision. Button-mashing won’t cut it—you’ll need sharp timing and clever routing to bypass perilous levels and reach your final destination.

UNPACK NEW ABILITIES!

Unlock new abilities as you ship it through each level—opening faster routes with bigger risks. Triple jump from shelf to shelf, glide across hungry shredders, and tilt around tight corners. Master every move to speed up deliveries, uncover new paths, and get one step closer to that doorstep.

COLLECT YOUR CARDBOARD CREW!

You’re not the only one in transit! Unlock new cardboard companions as playable characters—each with a unique shape and playstyle that shakes up gameplay. This cardboard crew offers fresh, creative ways to solve problems and navigate levels—all en route to their own destinations.

SIGN. SEAL. SURVIVE…?

What happened to Boreal? Where did the humans go? Why are you alive? 

And…why does it feel like you're being watched? 

Are you box enough to solve the mystery, or will you end up in the shredder? Take matters into your own flaps and download The Box is Alive!
