Subscription Box // The Indie Box - The Next Penelope

March Box: The Next Penelope

______________________________

I have to commend whoever is in charge of the artwork, whether it is on the developer's side of The Indie Box side, because the artwork, again, is so beautifully done. I love that the blues and purples. 

The items are very lackluster. I was not impressed with the items...at all. It was a let down and to be frank, they weren't really novelty items. Only a couple of items with the game logo or a similar color scheme did not win me over. There was also a little snap-bracelet which I thought was not practical nor was it necessary to have. I think it would've been better instead of a paper plane to build, it could've just been a plastic plane on a stand. It could have been a plastic plane assemblage.

My expectations for this box may be a bit high, but I am paying for physical copy of the game, as well as novelty items, exclusive to the game. These items were not novelty... they felt like children's toys. I was honestly disappointed in this box, even though the art was beautiful, the items left a lot to be desired.

This box and subscription made me realize I have a real standard for novelty items and a high importance for it also. It also made me realize that a subscription box like this just isn't for me. It may be nice for other people who are collectibles or enjoy indie games, but I guess that isn't what I expected or looking for in in this subscription. The game takes a backburner already because I am not critiquing the box for the game, I am in it for the items, but that just be my downfall already. I'm just providing my opinion and outlook on the box and maybe it will change in future boxes, but for now I'm just left with wanting more.
