Grab a helmet and slip into your spandex: it's time to join the gig economy.
Parcel Corps is an extreme sports delivery-'em-up where players mount a bike and sign a casual work agreement with one of three rival courier corporations. Embrace the life of a freelance bicycle messenger as you deliver packages on the behest of an eclectic range of colorful customers. Find your own lines and pull off sick tricks as you skid through the vibrant streets of New Island. Witness your earnings be sapped away by your corporate overlords through exploitive contractual agreements that you felt pressured into signing.
With a wide range of missions on offer and enough ramps, quarter-pipes and conveniently placed scaffolding to make you question the city planners' decision-making abilities, Parcel Corps features more single-player shenanigans than you can shake an insulated delivery bag at.

Villainé's political ambitions place him on a collision course with New Island's bicycle messengers.
