    In this time-management thriller, you will be Warren Baker, the new bouncer of the prestigious club The Box. After spending three years in jail, you just want to live an honest life and recover your daughter. However, the quirky clients of The Box will drive you closer to your turbulent past, involving you in a gangster scheme that threatens to destroy everything that you love.

    Every night, among the club's visitors, you'll find undercover cops, annoying celebrities, runaway criminals or ghosts from your past. As the new gatekeeper of The Box, you decide who enters and who doesn't... by any means necessary. Be careful though, because each choice you make can influence the fate of the club and its clients. You'll also need to keep your salary to avoid being evicted, to see your daughter again, and most importantly, to regain control of your life.

    Will you let teenagers into the club in exchange for money? Will you confront a wealthy client to save his girlfriend when she asks you for help? Or will you work with the police to bring down the most powerful gangster in town?

    Everyone's lives are in your hands. Only you choose how their stories end.

    There is a lot to admire and enjoy about Out Of The Box with its originality and unusual gaming techniques. The story is a very good one, full of moral declines, doomed romance, and evil crimelords. The actual gameplay is brilliant at first too, but it does start to tire as things progress.

    Out of the Box’s story is oddly compelling, with its characters just interesting enough to keep you going. Its gameplay loop leaves something to be desired, but if you can work through it, there is an enjoyable time to be had here.

    The story that’s present in the game surprised me a great deal because I didn’t think I would get as hooked as I did and I didn’t think thinkThe story that’s present in the game surprised me a great deal because I didn’t think I would get as hooked as I did and I didn’t think think it would be as interesting as it was. There is a ton of personality present in both the visuals and sound design and this does trickle down into the gameplay making it more fun. I enjoyed the choices the game throws at you because it makes the story matter more and it also keeps things fresh and interesting for longer. The game eases you into the tasks gently and as you progress it becomes more challenging but it still remains fun at the same time. There are a few technical issues that present themselves every now and then. When played for long periods you realise that the game doesn’t have a huge amount of depth to it so I recommend that you play this game in short bursts. The combat is a little on the basic side and more moves implemented here would’ve been nice. Does Out Of The Box do enough to get a recommendation from me? Sometimes a game surprises you that much that you tend to forget about its shortcomings and fall in love with it and that’s what happened with me when it came to Out Of The Box. Don’t get me wrong this game won’t be for everybody and it’s far from perfect but there was something about this game that kept drawing me in. That something was the story and I’ll admit to you that I didn’t expect it to be as interesting and immersive as it turned out to be. Another thing I didn’t expect is the choices the game allows you to make. These choices actually feel like they matter and give the game some replaybility as well because there are multiple endings for you to achieve. I will say though that the game is best played in short bursts because the gameplay doesn’t have much depth and there isn’t much in terms of variety when it comes to the combat as well. Despite this though the game is still very fun and when it’s all said and done Out Of The Box does enough to get a recommendation from me.… Expand
