The game can be played alone or cooperatively with friends, and already features over 120 fully playable puzzles. A level editor is also included, enabling the amount of playable content to grow within the community. The story of the game follows the adventures of a 22nd century postage company and touches on subjects such as post-humanism (pun very much intended) and virtual reality, with the full intent of boggling the players’ minds with questions about the future.
Utilizing the powers of the team of peculiar postpeople - block-pushing, magnetization, hacking and teleportation - players will progress down a heavily guarded tower with increasingly complex puzzles. Packed with intellectual challenge and “the right kind of frustration”, Parcel aims to be a memorable puzzling experience that will make players think and leave them thinking afterwards.
“After years of dreaming and tireless work towards fulfilling that dream, Parcel is finally shaping up to be the game it deserves to be,” said the project’s creative director Pyry Takkunen and continued: “A couple of years ago, this game existed only on graph paper, and to see it enter daylight is both enormously humbling and scary at the same time. I sincerely hope that players on Steam enjoy what we’ve created and help us develop it further. A puzzling future awaits!”
