Mystery Box Incremental Indie ‘Unboxathon’ is Your Next Favourite Timesink

[ccgr]

Unlock, unload, and upgrade in mystery box incremental indie game Unboxathon, which now has a free demo on Steam!

In this chill and cozy clicker, you’ll rifle through oodles of randomized boxes, uncovering sellable treasure and trinkets on the search for your missing childhood plush.



You’ll collect mystery boxes from each bubble, before cutting them open and sifting through the packaging to acquire loot such as futuristic helmets, pairs of comfy socks, and even magical artifacts. Sell these on and use the profit to gain boxes with a better quality of loot, gameplay-changing bubbles, and stat-boosting upgrades such as the number of bubbles spawning per second, chain reactions, ricochets and more.

This playable slice of Unboxathon features the same, satisfying, bubble-popping gameplay, with 2 out of 6 unlockable boxes and 10% of possible tech tree unlocks compared to the full version. The demo is also localized in English, Portuguese (Brazilian), Japanese, Chinese, and Russian.

Key Features of Unboxathon

Literal Boxes Full of Loot: Open up boxes of different rarities, including “Magical Relics” or “Luxury Goods” to get increasingly valuable loot and shiny, collectible items.

Upgrade, Upgrade, Upgrade: Sell those items for profit and use those earnings to unlock incremental upgrades affecting your bubble bonuses, special bubbles, box quality, and more.
