Hey everyone!
We’re so excited to finally launch Ship, Inc. into the world — your cozy dream job at a chaotic shipping company starts TODAY! ✨📬

From day one, our goal was simple: make a relaxing yet satisfying game about packing stuff into boxes. Turns out, that’s way more fun (and more stressful?) than we expected.

[h2]📦 So, what’s Ship, Inc.?[/h2]
Ship, Inc. is a cozy job simulator where you:

• Sort and pack items into the right boxes
  
• Follow shipping orders with care (or chaos)
  
• Master packing mini-games and earn big efficiency bonuses
  
• Meet quirky customers through their special orders
  
• And watch a cat named Limon jump into boxes because, of course
  

[h2]📢 We’d love your feedback![/h2]
We're a small team and this game was a labor of love (and tape). If you have thoughts, bug reports, ideas, or just want to share how badly you messed up an express order — we’re listening! Hop into the community forums or join us on Discord.

Thank you so much for playing, wishlisting, and supporting us.
Time to roll up your sleeves, grab some bubble wrap, and get shipping! 📦✨
