I am Bread (PC)

London-based indie developer Bossa Studios has now gone beyond every type of game creation to make another simulation title, one distinctly different from 2013’s surprise hit Surgeon Simulator. Taking place in a typical household, this simulation has the player control an object quite inconsequential from a human perspective: a slice of bread. Does I am Bread rise above other indie titles today, or is it moldy and out of date? Keep reading to find out.

Becoming Toasty Bread

The goal of this wacky simulation for the player is to help each piece of bread navigate through a variety of rooms to become toasted. With this novel concept and many varieties of moving and climbing over surfaces, the game provides an open-ended approach to finding a safe pathway around bugs and dirty spots in order to make it to a heat source without becoming too inedible along the way. Depending on how the controls are set up, there are four buttons used to grip or anchor one of the four corners of the bread piece. For novice players, the controller commands were much easier to learn, as having two analog sticks made camera control and bread movement separate inputs instead of putting it all on the computer’s mouse. Either way, the tutorial gets players accustomed to how the physics of this “bread sim” work, allowing them to discover all the interesting things they can attempt in real gameplay.

A Small Crumb’s Point of View

Each level throws an untoasted slice of bread into a random spot inside a room where the objective is to find a way to become toast. This usually involves climbing walls or stacked objects to get a better vantage point, as the areas get progressively larger. From the beginning of the first level, it’s apparent that all the household objects are rendered in life-sized proportions. Whether they have you grabbing other small foods or climbing fallen furniture standing in the bread’s path, the environment is overall pretty surreal, and keeps the game feeling inventive as you interact with and utilize each object to reach toasty victory.

There are some comical sounds, from glassware breaking to boxes toppling over, to the flop physics of the bread’s suction sticking to any surface. Everything else is just simple ambiance, along with an upbeat soundtrack with musical pieces for every level (and I mean every level…). There’s enough variety in the limited amount of music that it doesn’t become too much of a nuisance while exploring an entire room. The problem is that unless you make a solid attempt to get through an area on the first try, returning to the start of the level will be taxing on both your patience and attention, as it takes a lot of time to get through a level. In this way, it is most likely that the theme of a level will get repetitive after enough climbing control fails or “deaths”.

Exploring ALL the Rooms

Levels vary in size, both in height and width, but they all have good indicators of the directions the piece of bread can go. The story of the bread moves from indoor areas such as the kitchen and bathroom to other outdoor areas like the garage and backyard. All of the fun in playing I am Bread comes from figuring out how to move through each obstacle, challenges which can vary from being presented with an uneven surface to having to pass over a huge tower and climb to the top. Although most of it appears simple, the difficulty is in locating the toaster or heated area and choosing a safe pathway to reach it once you do. While each press of a button and each movement is crucial to success, it’s easy to forget the amount of health (edibility) the bread has left, or how much grip it has left to keep hold of a wall. If timing isn’t your strong suit by this point, becoming toast can be a big undertaking. There is a huge incentive to complete rooms in order to unlock other levels to explore, and each room features a level of detail that does not disappoint.

More Ways to Loaf Around

Even if precise platforming is not your type of gameplay, there are other side game modes to spice up the basic movement formula. Two of these games are quick and simple versions of the bread levels that are timed events; the bagel allows for rolling to race through checkmarks towards a finish line (or in this case, a platter) and the baguette gives the player a chance to break as many objects as possible and reach a threshold of point combos. These side games bring a different focus to the simulation scenario, but can are much easier and faster to complete simply because there’s no decreasing health and only two points of gripping to maneuver. The last side game put the player in the role of a cracker collecting pieces of cheese, most of which are scattered across the room. Playing as the cracker does not change the movement controls like the other modes do, but makes it so that health is lost when the cracker falls from a high place. By messing with all these modes, the layout and set-up of each room become way more familiar to the player, which can help in other modes. For the non-gamer with no patience and time to invest figuring these games out, there are still free-roam and space modes, which give the player the chance to step into each room with freedom of movement with no gravity or fear of death, and you can still enjoy the neat ways this simulation game creates a cosmic sandbox environment allowing you to view realistic scenery from the a slice of bread’s point of view.

Summary

The world of I am Bread is very intriguing, given its unique controls and game conditions not explored by most indie titles. Luckily there are options to control sound volume and movement sensitivity to make the game experience better suited to each kind of player. Because the gameplay can be pretty limited for players who don’t understand the prime aspects of platforming with multi-button controls, this game is a better choice for more focused, hardcore gamers who are really into obscure genres or creative sandbox titles. In any event, I am Bread is a very well-made game, full of incredible platforming segments utilizing an excellent gripping physics mechanic. All the art drawn into the scenes and menus makes the whole thing incredibly immersive and an experience of epic bread-sized adventuring that is only made more fun by what you can do. (Ian Doucet)
