The Box is Alive
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

No Label? No Problem.
In The Box is Alive, it’s up to you to reach your final destination.
You control a sentient box that must find its way out of an abandoned factory. Roll and tilt your way through wild physics-based levels as you embark on a challenging journey to deliver yourself!
Easy to pick up, hard to master–every move counts as you uncover the dark secrets behind the humans that made you.
What’s it about?
The Box is Alive is a physics-based puzzle platformer where you take a box on a journey to deliver itself!
Inspired by games like I Am Bread and Octodad: Dadliest Catch, our game features a complex movement system that challenges players to think outside the box. Master the controls as you explore the environment, rolling past obstacles and hazards as you escape the factory that made you.
Though beneath the challenging levels and silly premise lies a mystery. What happened to the humans who made you? Why did their facility suddenly shut down? And why does it feel like someone's watching you…
How do you play?
The core gameplay revolves around our custom physics-based controls. They're easy to pick up but hard to master, so you'll need to think outside the box if you want to avoid the shredder!
You'll explore the game's environment by rolling, tilting, and jumping your way to the end of the stage. These moves will help you overcome obstacles, defeat enemies, and evade certain death.
Sounds simple enough. But there’s more to the factory than meets the eye!
Secret stages and puzzles are tucked away within levels, visible to only the most perceptive and curious boxes. And the mystery behind the factory’s sudden termination may be hidden in plain sight!
