BOXES - Unlock Intricate Supernatural Puzzle Boxes As You Attempt to Escape a Giant Puzzle Box!

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

I'm a sucker for The Room style mechanical puzzle box games (there's something about the way that the mechanisms unlock that's very satisfying). Boxes is a little easier than The Room games, but it's got a LOT of boxes to figure out, each one taking around 5-10 minutes to play through. Each box has a different theme and there are some fun little games hidden within them (you even play a little bit of Red Light, Green Light at one point!) I missed one of the story cards just before the end, but this is what it says: (Spoilers) "Within this containment device resides a power beyond reckoning, a force that can alter the fabric of existence itself. To open it is to disturb the equilibrium of our world, and to bear the responsibility for the untold consequences that may follow".

[@sukamadik5983]

You are always providing alternatives to the generic AAA gaming industry and I appreciate that.

[@ladieslucknut6022]

I hate puzzle but this kind a interesting specially when u played 🎉

[@azalago]

I was going to say, this looks like it plays EXACTLY like The Room series. I love that series too.

[@EGRJ]

Ah yes. The birth of the Roomclone genre. Hopefully.

[@bezel95]

You’re tearing me apart Lisa! Oh wait wrong The Room, my bad.

[@LordMayorOfDairyBell]

30:16 OMG! That light switch! Everything else so far has been this intricate and fancy design akin to the Victorian Era and then you have this regular ass looking light switch from Home Depot.

[@mrohnoes]

Hell yeah. I'm down for more games like The Room. Those were some great puzzle games.

[@singularityh5182]

Yeah, this one reminds me a lot of The Room games and The House of Da Vinci games. Love them puzzle games

[@soerpoet340]

*fails to solve puzzle* You're tearing me apart, Lisa!

[@dedman1096]

I am an avid enjoyer of the Room series. Own and have beaten every one of their games at least twice now. I gots to get me some more. Hell if I don’t find where this is soon.

This is beautiful. Certainly one of the most kinaesthetically pleasing games out there.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

I've not heard the world "kinaesthetically" before, but it's a perfect descriptor for what I find pleasing about the game. Thanks for adding a new word to my vocabulary! :)

[@maya_gameworks]

@@AlphaBetaGamer thanks, I love it too) Not my invention, though. Campster from Errant Signal used it in one of his videos many years ago. It means "what you feel when interracting with core mechanics of the game".

[@tobbsdasock]

Kinaesthtics are related to the position and operation of parts of your body. E.g. your “kinaesthetic sense” is your ability to tell what position your limbs are in without looking at them. So things operating and clicking in a pleasing way would certainly be kinaesthetic if you were actually physically doing it. In a digital format I’m not quite sure but let’s say close enough 😅.

[@maya_gameworks]

@@tobbsdasock damn, I didn't know that) It's so cool - this make the term even more awesome, thanks a lot!)

One could say this game is a bit puzzling 🤔. Well at least they thought outside the box on this one 😏. Seriously though I'm loving the concept of this game so much. Once again I thank you for bringing yet another hidden Gem to my attention.

Oh. My. Goodness! Am I in heaven? Out of all the puzzle-solving games I've seen, THIS takes the whole cake! I have a knick-knack for solving puzzles, even though it's..."puzzling". Just looking at this game really gives me the edge of solving the game as well! Hell, just watching even satisfied me already! Of this, I APPROVE. 👍😎

[@Weretyu7777]

A very interesting game! It did say "To Be Continued", so I'm hoping they make a sequel so you can play it and I can watch.

[@kevinm5940]

I had a completely different ending, where the robot immediately takes over the world. Did they change it at some point?

[@ZR3009]

Just watching you solving these puzzles in these different themed boxes are so fun to watch. And the sound they made... oh they're so fun to listen.

[@HazeTheWarlock]

"Oh don't you talk about my boxes! I LIKE BOXES!"

[@KinuTheDragon]

The ladybug puzzle reminds me a lot of Monument Valley. Anyone else see the resemblance?

[@ZR3009]

Yeah I saw the resemblance too! That would be a really neat reference if it's true.

[@winterrix2845]

First thing out of my mouth when I saw it: “That’s Monument Valley!”

[@iamwoke322]

yeah same

[@brownhues]

The plot of this game: "Please don't awaken the Abominable Intelligence I created. She exists across dimensions and thinks she is God. Also, she is powered by dark matter and might as well actually be god. ANYWAY, she is PISSED OFF and dangerous." The player: "Oooooh. Shiny boxes"

[@atomicnumber202]

He got trapped with said shiny boxes so I wouldn't put the blame on him (although he did read the notes so he knew what he was doing ig) Edit: Apparently Aurora sent the letter that bought the guy here. We've been tricked and bamboozled in every way.

[@byoballisticmissiles9611]

I really like the concept and execution of this, however the fact you can't wind up the guy at 11:15 and make him do a little jig is highly disappointing.

[@jeremytung1632]

This is beautiful, I love watching clockwork in motion, and hearing all the clicks and whirring.

[@DJ_CYBER_Drolf]

I so love these types of puzzles! ANd the way those boxes change, shift and activates those mechanisms are so mesmerizing!

[@tinamp811]

getting serious Dr. Brain vibes off this one. Love it.

[@MidnightAphelion]

If this could run smoothly as a VR game it would be amazing.

[@Fossilight]

This is honestly one of the coolest things I've seen. I honestly get major Myst vibes but without the odd plot.

[@zigorously]

Hey now, Myst has an odd and COOL plot, I kinda love it (although I'm playing them for the first time and Riven is already getting WAY more sharp with the story)!

[@ty_teynium]

So these guys also made another puzzle game called Doors: Paradox in 2022, and it looks just as good as this! It shows how much progress has been made! Beautiful!

[@Frieren_Lienel]

im very impressed on the details and mechanics, its really well thought out on each piece of puzzle, on how things work and function, very interesting and entertaining

[@Eisenwulf666]

Wow, this game is beautiful and incredibly well done! Bravo to the developers!

[@Nizati]

Please developers - i want to see so many Room-esque games it becomes a genre and brings back escape rooms.

[@mod4325]

I love watching puzzles get solved. It's such a satisfying feeling. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

[@necogreendragon]

I like watching people play thru puzzle games I have done to see the differences in skill and approach. Like I did things in a different order in some rooms. There was one puzzle that took me forever to finish that was done in like 4 or 5 moves here. Also I had to brute force one of the puzzles because I didn't find the hint for it. 😅

[@Billionsmustchill]

I never knew how much I need this type of game before lol, just seems like an obviously great idea for a game considering how much views do those mechanical puzzle channels get

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

6:00 That's a weird astrological font. No one uses a loopless leo glyph and that scorpio/virgo glyph is really taking a creative licence...

[@Ceruleanst]

The ones in the clock box 13:00 are proper. Those two symmetrical symbols are either invented or from something else. They don't turn up in a cursory search of alchemy symbols but there are a lot.

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

@@Ceruleanst honestly it looks like AI got confuses by the similar Leo and North node glyph/Scorpio and Virgo glyph and just mashed them together.

Did anyone else get the steam version for PC and get a completely different queen puzzle for the Card Box? I've got a knight with an axe that you have to avoid while going from a gold starting ring to another gold ending ring. But everything I see online has this other one.
