There is a challenge when you need to make a turn but only grabbing with one of the edges allows you to flop around based on that single point, and in that too, it works. If you’re on a flat surface and are precise with your motion, you can usually use this to flip towards any goal you want in a straight line. The easiest movement is to use two bumper buttons on a controller for the “top ” of the bread, and the triggers as the “bottom” and just alternate, and this works well. In I Am Bread, you get the ability to grip with any of four corners of the piece of bread, and from there you can flip the bread using those gripped corners as the axis. It definitely has a feeling that it’s in the same genre as the Surgeon Simulator, but it also feels that it’s more similar to “QWOP” where you independently control the legs and thighs of a runner. So if the story doesn’t feel important, how is that gameplay then?

The story is there to avoid people saying “They want a story.” but ultimately I don’t know if the story is necessary for this type of game. The game doesn’t tie heavily to those notes, though there is an epilogue level specifically tied to that story. Really, that’s the entire story for the game. Even if you’re very careful and disrupt nothing, the note says you made a mess. Well obviously he’s right, but the notes don’t really refer to your actions but generic information about what was in the room you were in. Between levels, there are notes taken down by a psychiatrist about a man who thinks a piece of toast has come alive and is wrecking his house. Yeah, I don’t get it either, but I’ve played games where I’m a magical goat wizard so I’ll go along with it. The fact is you don’t play “bread” necessarily but rather a seemingly sentient piece of bread that wishes to be toasted. However, a “Bread simulator”? Hmm how odd, but intriguing. While it’s not a genre they created, as QWOP might be one of the original games with intentionally bad controls, it is a genre which they seemed to have shown a mastery with Surgeon Simulator. A game which could also simply be called a “Bread simulator”, a new entry in the “bad simulation” genre. So in 2015, Bossa released a follow up to Surgeon Simulator, simply titled “I Am Bread”. It was odd, it was unique, and It was a smash hit. The controls really challenged the player to do the surgery. I don’t mean that as an insult to the game as they are intentionally bad, but the fact is you had to manually control every finger of a hand to grab tools to work on the surgery. It tasked the player to do surgery on a patient with just awful controls.

So in 2013, a unique game came out called Surgeon Simulator by Bossa Studios. Well, I don’t think they get much more indie than I Am Bread. But I like to switch between an “AAA” title and an indie title.

I don’t know why, but I try to avoid only playing AAA titles, and looking at my list I’ve done a fantastic job. I say them entirely too often, but it’s also one of the reasons I think I have an interesting list of reviews. “Let’s play something completely different.” Oh, those words. Also Available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, macOS, iOS and Android.
