Boxes: Lost Fragments

Boxes: Lost Fragments is a puzzle game combining elements of an escape room with three-dimensional box puzzles. This game was created by Big Loop Studios, which has produced many games of this type, including: Doors: Paradox, published by Snapbreak.

Plot

As a legendary thief, we carry out an assignment in a large and lavish mansion, full of puzzles in the form of boxes of mysterious purpose, in which mechanical and magical elements intertwine. During the game, we realize that this place hides something more and we do not have full control over the situation. Solving puzzles may be necessary to get answers and get out of the property.

Mechanics

Boxes: Lost Fragments offers puzzle design similar to escape room games (finding a way to get out of a room or a series of rooms). In order to move on, we have to find objects that enable interaction with the obstacles, most often hidden behind the puzzle.. In this case, these are boxes, which become increasingly complex as the game progresses.

In the room we are trying to escape from, we can move towards interactive elements, and by moving to the place with the box, we can rotate the camera around it and zoom in on individual parts. We can modify (move, rotate, open etc.) parts of the puzzles, and often it is necessary to find the missing cog in a smaller puzzle in order to solve the next task.
