About The Box is Alive

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!

Really fun and seriously challenging. I would recommend a way that keeps the cards previously collected instead of having to recollect them after death. 10/10 would play again.

Love the original platforming mechanics and show-don't-tell storytelling. Who is Arboreal Shipping? What was the great shipping disaster? You'll just have learn to do a rolling double jump to find out.

A "it shouldn't be this fun" physics based platformer I can get behind! I played the heck out of the Box is Alive demo and just grabbed the full copy, and I'm already having a fantastic time with the new levels. Not for the faint of heart, The Box is Alive features a challenging but ultimately enjoyable physics based movement system where you pilot a "Shmamazon" box attempting to deliver itself. A ton of fun, and the devs seem super active with more levels promised between now and full launch. Definitely recommend

Cute platformer, love the premise. Just getting started on the first level but really love it so far. Nice sense of humor with fun extra mcguffins throughout the level you can get if you're feeling brave. For the most part I enjoyed the platforming, although it got a little bit finicky in a few places (mainly around fitting the box in tight spaces).

very funny concept and enjoyable game!! Def for a cute and cozy vibe. I had a little trouble navigating the controls with the left and rights but I'm sure it will become easier with time haha.

Give it ten minutes and you're hooked! this taps into some childish part of my brain where everything could be turned into a toy. When you get the controls down you start moving the box around way more fluidly and it becomes fun to explore, objects you avoided you end up rushing to check out! Good afterwork chill out game!
