About Useless Box: The Game

USELESS BOX: THE GAME

A Useless Box is a box with a switch on it. When you hit the switch, a motor moves a mechanical arm to turn off the switch. It serves absolutely no purpose!

This game is exactly like a Useless Box but better because it's a video game about hitting a switch on a Useless Box (still no purpose). Want to spend hours flipping a switch and accomplishing nothing? This game is for you! As an added bonus, the box will tell you stories as well as reveal unlocks!

We're not sure how to better describe the game. It's better if you just watch the video honestly.

FEATURES:

Gameplay: Hit a button on a box! What more could you possibly want?
Dialogue / Story: Hit the switch to unlock semi-interesting dialogue. Or not, staring at the box is totally cool too!
Music: Hand picked music that you may or may not like!
Game Length: Goes on as long as you want it to. Useless Box will always be here for you!
Social Media / Multiplayer: There is none. Enjoy not bugging your friends with useless things.
Unlocks: Unlocks!

How does one explain Useless Box: The Game? Very carefully. You don't want to give away too much. But you will laugh. You will cry. You may cry laughing, but you will definitely laugh while crying.So much passion, so much lore, tutorials that rival even the most riveting instruction manual from Ikea. I won "Useless Box: The Game" in a Twitter contest. But "Useless Box: The Game" won my heart by being a fun, adorable time killer.
