Truckful Is A Colourful Cargo Hauling Game With A Twinge Of Mystery

The greatest thing to happen from Death Stranding is that the mainstream gaming audience discovered that driving around hauling things is actually fun. And now we have more games that are just about the fun of driving around hauling things where nothing weird happens.

Or so it seems.

Indie developer MythicOwl is developing Truckful, a “wacky physics-based delivery adventure” as it describes itself in a press release. All you do is take your truck of choice and go deliver goods to the local townsfolk of a countryside town.

There’s a bit of “inventory Tetris” involved as you have to arrange the goods on the haul yourself. And there is physics involved so things can fly off the cargo hauler if you don’t stack them properly, or drive too hard on the road.

The driving itself seems like a simpler take on a driving game. You drive from an isometric camera view and it’s a matter of carefully weaving through uneven road surfaces rather than driving in an open world.

Completing the many different delivery jobs, each one its own challenge, will allow you to upgrade the truck for even bigger hauls, including a Grand Piano.

So Truckful seems all cosy and wholesome, but there is a bit of dark mystery going on these neck of the woods it seems. There are hidden paths filled with treacherous terrain, and who knows what lies in there. As long as it’s not invisible ghosts that requires the need to carry jarred babies, it shouldn’t be too weird. Probably.

But we were pitched that the Truckful is “Dredge on wheels”, so you decide which horrors of the unseen is worse.

Truckful is developed by indie devs MythicOwl, based out of Warsaw, Poland. They previously released puzzle game Planetiles.

Truckful has no release date yet, but it’ll be releasing on PC (Steam).
