Patrick’s Parabox out on Switch this month, new trailer

A final release date has emerged for Patrick’s Parabox, the “mind-bending recursive puzzle game about boxes within boxes.” Draknek & Friends and Patrick Traynor have confirmed that it will debut on July 27, 2023.

Patrick’s Parabox was made known for Switch a little over a year ago. No release window was shared as part of the initial news, so we’ve been left in the dark as to when it’d be available. Thankfully, it’s now coming out next week

More information about the experience can be found in the following overview:

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.
