More ‘Bundle In A Box’ Details Eke Out

Here’s an age old question: “What’s in the box?” Well, we’ll readily admit that, in the case of Bundle in a Box, we’re still not certain, but we’re now just that little bit closer to finding out, thanks to an article with its creators over on Indie Game Bundles.

As has been widely speculated, a May launch date is still very much on the cards, with the bundle being made available to the public for two weeks once it launches in earnest. As with most indie bundles, the Bundle in a Box will operate on a pay-what-you-like basis, with a minimum price in effect. Contrary to most conventional bundles, however, the minimum price will apparently be a “constantly dropping one,” rather than one that constantly re-adjusts itself to suit the average monetary donation at the time of purchase. Quite how this payment system will work has still yet to be revealed, but suffice it to say we’ll be waiting with bated breath.

But as we all know, a bundle lives and dies by its games, and it’s now been revealed that Bundle in a Box will contain seven of them. Thankfully, they’ll all be available as DRM-free downloads, although some of them will be redeemable through Steam and Desura for players who prefer to keep all their gaming products in one tidy location. We’ve also been told to expect a plethora of juicy non-gaming extras, perhaps including a soundtrack or two if we’re well behaved.

Most curious, however, is the revelation that the bundle will include a game belonging to a gaming genre that’s never been part of an indie bundle before. Cue the speculation, detectives, because that’s a hint that’s gone right over my head.
