I Am Bread

"I Am Bread" isn't so much a game as it is a form of torture. It's from the same guys that brought you Surgeon Simulator, which, if you remember, I bizarrely enjoyed actually. You can tell it's from the same guys because the whole shitty controls as a game concept is in full force here as well.

The goal is to move a piece of bread across the game world over to something that will toast it, be it a toaster, TV, flat iron, blow drier, etc. As your bread traverses the world, you'll learn that the world is disgusting and dirty and touching the floor will turn you into a petri dish of inedible filth. Mmm... Luckily for you, this slice of bread is an indomitable and tenacious sort. It can grab onto things with it's corners, so you can latch onto objects and walls to find a path across whatever clean surfaces you find on the way to your beloved heat source. The guy who owns the house you're in is a slob, so good luck with that.

Someone bought this game for me for the sole purpose of seeing me rage at it, and rage I did. This game is currently in Alpha, so there are only 4 levels available as I write this. I completed them all and am not totally sure I'll return when the full game is released. It's interesting in a what the fuck kind of way, but I think my friend had it right. You'll get more joy out of watching people hate their lives while playing it than from actually playing it yourself.
