Yeah you can correctly place all the boxes. On my first go through I ended up exploding them all but managed on my second go to place them all correctly. Some people seem to complain about how difficult it is to stack and climb on top of boxes but you don't need to do that, you can complete it by just climbing the ladders and shelves.

That strikes me as an odd complaint. They might be right if this was the kind of game where "finishing it the proper way" was what it was all about. I always felt that half the point was that there was an easy, destructive way of finishing this and a difficult, constructive one.

I thought that the two episodes released so far were intriguing. They're definitely not perfect, but I think it's fascinating to see people explore the creative (and, yes, even artistic) potential of computer games via mods.

Penumbra is also a FPS with no shooting with unorthodox gameplay elements if y'all missed that series.
