About This Game

The Box is Alive is a chaotic, silly-physics platformer about one brave package’s quest for self-delivery.

You play as a sentient cardboard box who wakes up in a deserted shipping facility. No humans. No labels. No carriers. 

So it’s time to take matters into your own flaps. 

Roll, jump, and glide your way through a maze of conveyor belts, crushers, and other OSHA-unapproved obstacles. Escape the warehouse and continue en route through suburbia, skyscrapers, sewers, and more to reach your recipient. 

Get the most out of each environment, exploring every crack and corner to find the best route to your final destination. Every level has its secrets—from bonus stages, to tricky puzzles, and other packages searching for purpose. 

So, are you box enough to escape? Or will you get trashed trying? Download our demo and get rolling!

  • Out-of-the-Box Gameplay – Roll, jump, slam, flap, and glide through dangerous obstacles as you discover unexpected routes and unpredictable solutions.

  • Control with Care – Easy to pick up, but hard to master–a small nudge can ship you to the next stage, while one misflip can launch you straight into the shredder.

  • Sign, Seal, Survive – Master both lighthearted platforming and tougher precision challenges, with leaderboards to prove your skills.

  • Unbox New Levels – There's a big world out there! Launch across roof tops, slip through the sewers, and skydive from an airplane to continue en route.

  • Stick & Style – Collect stamps and special stickers as you explore the world—unlocking cosmetic wraps for the Box in future updates.

  • Original Box Beats – Featuring “EETS ALIVE” and other original tracks composed especially for The Box is Alive!
