Curator Review

By 老船长OldCaptain November 24, 2023

“神作。在推箱子的基础上，某些箱子本身还有可能是一个个的房间，房间之间可以嵌套，甚至可以自己套自己，也就是递归。这些“入口箱子”和其它箱子之间的交互方式也很多样，也会有不同种类的入口箱子，更是有对和“递归”相关的“悖论”的探索。从递归的想法延伸出如此丰富的机制，再加上亲民的难度曲线和循序渐进的优秀谜题设计，让本作充满了“啊哈”时刻。总之是一款能让没那么熟悉解谜的玩家也能感受到逻辑之美的作品，强烈推荐”

About This Game

Patrick's Parabox is an award-winning puzzle game that explores a unique recursive system of boxes within boxes within boxes within boxes. Learn to manipulate the world's structure by pushing boxes into and out of each other. Wrap your head around what happens when a box contains itself, and learn to use infinity to your advantage. Explore many more mechanics and recursive twists as you delve deeper and deeper into the system. It's boxes all the way down.



The game has over 350 hand-crafted puzzles, which are designed to make you think, but also to guide you and showcase the beauty of the system. Each puzzle contains a new idea; there is no filler.



A soothing, inquisitive soundtrack and sound design by Priscilla Snow reflects new mechanics as they are introduced.

Patrick's Parabox won the Excellence in Design award in the Independent Games Festival 2020. The game was also an IndieCade 2019 festival selection and received the IndieCade Developers Choice award.
