Developer Patrick Taylor and publisher Draknek & Friends have announced that the award-winning box puzzler Patrick's Parabox will be making its way to Switch on 26th July.
Originally released on PC last year with thousands of overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam, Patrick's Parabox is a puzzle game where you are tasked with shifting a series of boxes into their correct space on the screen. The catch? These boxes can be pushed inside each other, creating boxes within boxes within boxes.
It's a mind-bending concept, we'll admit, but after checking out the new release date trailer above we can see how the central mechanic could become quickly addictive. You can find some more information on the game's features and get a closer look at some screenshots below.
- A deep, compelling puzzle system to explore, with unique recursive mechanics
- Over 350 hand-crafted puzzles, which are designed to make you think, but also to guide you and showcase the beauty of the system. Each puzzle contains a new idea; there is no filler
- Optional challenge puzzles along the way
- A soothing, inquisitive soundtrack
Patrick's Parabox will be available to purchase from the Switch eShop next week for $19.99 (or your regional equivalent). Bring on the boxes.

I was waiting for this to come to Switch but finally gave up and bought it on Steam Deck.
It is PHENOMENAL. Makes you feel genius like Baba Is You while simultaneously being infinitely less intimidating.
One of the best puzzle games I've ever played, by far.
I loved Baba, and this looks like some more of that kind of absolute mindmelting puzzle goodness. Will definitely buy this one.
.... I never finished Baba though. I really should get back on that at some point.
it's probably just me, but, this looks nauseating as hell...
Brilliant game, can't wait
I buy every game that Draknek puts out, and haven't been disappointed yet.
This piques my interest. Will def put on the wishlist
So THIS is what was truly inside Patrick's secret box....
After watching that trailer, I am very in.
That looks like my kind of puzzle game. Awesome!
Loved the Steam demo. Day 1
It's like if 'Pix the Cat' and 'Baba is You' had a baby.
