Description

Puzzle Box is a VR puzzle game that stands out for its 100% hand-painted art, immersing players in a world of fantasy and surrealism. Inspired by the enigmatic “Himitsu-Bako” or “Secret Boxe”, this game transcends puzzle-solving by integrating deep and meaningful stories into each challenge. As players explore the boxes, they engage in a variety of interactions — from testing fits and levers to searching for hidden keys — each step unraveling fragments of an immersive dreamlike tale that culminates in a moment of revelation and complete understanding.

The inaugural tale, “The Immigrants,” weaves historical facts into a compelling narrative, addressing the challenges and hopes of leaving everything behind in search of a new life in unknown lands. Puzzle Box invites players from around the world to dive into a truly global experience. The art technique, refined in our previous project, UNBINARY, gives Puzzle Box a unique visual style, promoting unprecedented immersion in environments that defy reality, making it an essential game for VR puzzle enthusiasts seeking innovation, meaningful narratives, and stunning aesthetics.
