In-Game

This game is exactly like a Useless Box but better because it's a video game about hitting a switch on a Useless Box (still no purpose). Want to spend hours flipping a switch and accomplishing nothing? This game is for you! As an added bonus, the box will tell you stories as well as reveal unlocks!
