If you are looking for a leisurely activity that is unlike other gaming endeavors, it is of the utmost importance that you check out this unusual video game immediately. From Bossa Studios, I am Bread is an awesomely absurd game described as "the beautiful story of one slice of bread's epic and emotional journey as it embarks upon a quest to become toasted."
In the unusual video game, players control the four corners of an untoasted slice of bread and make it wobble toward a range of different household items that might, hopefully, turn it from bread to toast. According to Fast Company's CoDesign, it combines Katamari Damacy's rolling aspect with Elebits's suburban setting. Another challenge involves balancing meters relating to edibleness and deliciousness.
