I won this game through SteamGifts.
I played it for Pay or Play 2nd Cycle of 2025 and it was picked for me by Hyrax.

Boxes: Last Fragments (or just Boxes) is a really enjoyable puzzle game that gave me strong The Room vibes, which I mean in the best way possible. You play as a legendary thief trapped inside a fancy mansion, and the only way to get out is by solving a bunch of intricate, escape-room-style puzzle boxes. Each one is like a little mechanical mystery—pulling levers, pressing hidden buttons, matching symbols, figuring out locks. It’s super satisfying when you crack one open and see all the hidden pieces fall into place.

Not all the puzzles were easy—some were honestly kind of head-scratchers. I had to peek at a guide a couple of times, but then realised many walkthroughs were outdated because the devs recently changed up some puzzles (which is great for replayability, but not so much when you’re stuck!). Luckily, the built-in hint system helps a lot, and you can even skip puzzles if you get really stuck. I didn’t use the skip feature, but it’s nice to have the option.

My favourite puzzles were definitely the ancient Greek and Egyptian pyramid boxes—so cool both visually and mechanically. If you like tactile puzzle-solving with atmospheric environments, this one’s totally worth a playthrough. Just be ready to do a little thinking (and maybe a little Googling if you get really stuck).
