About

Patrick's Parabox presents a puzzle-focused video game centered around navigating challenges involving boxes and spatial manipulation. The game introduces players to Patrick, who operates within a universe where boxes can be nested within one another, adding a distinct layer of complexity to the puzzle-solving experience. Players engage in the task of pushing boxes into designated spaces while utilizing the ability to enter and exit boxes. With over 350 levels of increasing intricacy, the gameplay gives rise to paradoxes and demanding problem-solving scenarios, delivering a new take on the traditional Soko-Ban gameplay style. The game offers a range of controls that support experimentation, including dedicated functions for undoing, redoing, and resetting actions.

The main gameplay mechanic of nested boxes is heavily inspired by the 2018 browser game Sokosoko, which was turn in turn inspired by Recursed (2016) and the animated short 自主制作アニメーション by Kosuke Sugimoto.
