Be a Slice of Bread in the Next Game by Surgeon Simulator Developer

<youtube=GDE4rsLVB9A>​
Are you bready for I Am Bread from the team behind Surgeon Simulator?

Bossa Studios, the team behind Surgeon Simulator [http://escapistmagazine.com/tag/view/surgeon%20simulator] proudly proclaimed on Twitter today, "LOOK WHAT WE MADE!" Featured in a link to YouTube was an image of a slice of bread.

I Am Bread is the latest game from Bossa Studios. Created in a game jam, I Am Bread lets players experience the life of a slice of bread in its "epic and emotional journey as it embarks upon a quest to become toasted." Players move the bread with different triggers and buttons of the controller in what appears to be a challenging control scheme similar to Octodad. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/tag/view/octodad]

The trailer shows bars for edibility and deliciousness. Players control the slice of bread and try to increase its deliciousness on the way to being toasted. It's a big journey for one slice of toast, and that can include exploring a toilet, flinging itself from a ceiling fan, and climbing walls.

Bossa Studios has not released any information about the game other than a trailer. The developer first gave a sneak peek last month in a Vine of a piece of bread attempting to climb a wall. [https://twitter.com/bossastudios/status/508985562792222720]

Looks like they're going for YouTuber bait.

Can't say I blame them I suppose, since it worked for Surgeon Simulator.

Not only that. But it seems to be a blend of "Goat Simulator" with "Octodad". Looks kind of lame. To be honest

As overtly stupid as this is, I now desperately want a gif of the bread-slice accosting that loaf. I've never known how bread was made before.

Somehow I was hoping the Youtuber bait 'physicsy game with awkward controls' genre would get a bit of a rest after Goat Simulator. Apparently not.

My immediate thought was that this looks like a bit of a ripoff of Videogamebread [http://videogamebread.tumblr.com/].

How high do you have to be to come up with this stuff?
About as high as a you need to drop a piece of bread from to actually smash a plate when it lands on it. If you enjoy this sort of game then more fun to you but it's really not my bread and butter...

Good, there's not a lot of quality bread simulators out there.

That looks like the best thing since sliced bread! Hopefully the controls will be better than Surgeon Simulator though.

*le sigh* This is most definitely designed with Youtubers in mind. It wasn't funny with [insert noun] Simulator, and it won't be funny when they get their hands on a copy and blather at their audience on mics.

Oh so they completely switches to youtube bait now.
The whole reason why surgeon simulator was as successfull as it was because it portrayed a serious topic, surgery, i a rediculous way. That was funny and lead to fun situation. If you portray a rediculous topic in a rediculous way your pretty pointless yourself.

Well, this game looks amazing. Just non-stop stupid fun, like Goat Simulator. I'll be buying this game for sure!
