It was a longer road than we anticipated through to today, but your BOXROOM is ready. We can’t wait to see your game collections and sanctuaries - or whatever other weird, liminal box-spaces you choose to create.
The delay and compromises we’ve been forced to make in order to bring BOXROOM to Steam are not what we envisioned when we first brought the Demo to Steam a few months back. We had little choice here, sadly.
That said, we are still incredibly proud of what you’re (hopefully!) about to play, and have worked tirelessly to line up solutions to get as close to that initial vision as possible. And to be clear: it’s one to one on that front. You will have the same game. There’s just an extra step in the process, which we are unable to point you to directly here. Hopefully you're able to read between the lines here, we've made this as obvious elsewhere as we can.
We should also say that the original, fully-realised version of the game is available elsewhere, too. Please do go down that route if you prefer.
Our original vision for BOXROOM remains intact: we want you to build a room, a sanctuary, for not just your games, but your wider media collection. Your Steam library plays a big part in that, of course, but we've also futureproofed the game for other platforms and laid the groundwork for other media-types entirely. This is what we’ve been hard at work on in the limbo days between the original release date and now.
BOXROOM is now set up for customisation, expansion and evolution in a way we think you'll be very excited about.
Your game collection was the first thing moved in, all your boxes are there, so the organisation can begin in earnest.
The EA release of BOXROOM brings 230+ items and furnishings to the game, as well as Steam Workshop integration (so you can share your room with chums), the full ‘90s nostalgia’ collection, a Photo Mode, and a number of VERY COOL and VERY EXCLUSIVE secret partnership items.
Check your game boxes carefully. Some will contain exclusive items which will add bespoke partner pages to a special new catalogue. This roster or partner pages will expands as the game continues through early access.
To celebrate the launch, we've chummed up with four other room-buildy buddies to bring you four BOXROOM Bundles, too. This is great if you want to pick up a duo of banging games, but is ALSO great if you own any of these and want to get yourself a little extra discount on the game by completing the set.
Here's what we got for ya:
BOXROOM x Hozy
BOXROOM x Houseflipper 2
BOXROOM x My Dream Setup
BOXROOM x Small Spaces
There is plenty more to talk about - this is day one of early access, after all, but let's just save that for another day. We have a roadmap with what's next to share with you very soon... Enjoy your new rooms.... pantaloon & Nested Loop x
