Endora's Box

The story of Pandora’s box is well known, but what would happen if, instead of unleashing chaos and evil, the box absorbed the subject’s soul and let them wander in the void forever? This is the basic premise of Endora's Box, a short point and click adventure game that looks very promising.

The story begins as our protagonist opens a mysterious box that was delivered to his doorstep; unsurprisingly, this was not a good move. After his soul is trapped inside, he has to figure out a way to escape.

As you can probably imagine, a box that contains all the chaos and evil in the world is not a particularly pleasant place to spend an afternoon. To say the game world is strange would be putting it lightly, and the level design is top notch.

The gameplay is quite simple. You can interact with various objects or pick them up by clicking them, and the main character can also activate his phone’s special flashlight to reveal hidden messages throughout the game.

There are a few short puzzles to solve, none of them terribly complex. The characters, descriptions and dialogue are very amusing, not to mention original. After all, I’m pretty sure I have never come across a game that requires you to obtain a VIP pass for a bread party...from a couple of talking ducks.

It is worth noting that this game servers as a demo of the larger concept the development team has in mind. It can be completed in about half an hour, and there is obviously a lot more of the story to be told.

Nevertheless, Endora's Box is a fun game even in its current state, as it comes with a lot of original ideas and is very refined despite being only a short demo of a larger project.
