Brought to us by the same minds that gave us Surgeon Simulator 2013, I Am Bread is a game where you are bread. More specifically, you're a slice of bread attempting to maneuver its way to a heat source to become toast. The goal is to be quick and nimble, transforming into a scrumptious piece of doughy byproduct without overcooking yourself. Along the way, you have to avoid touching anything that could spoil you, from grimy floors, kitty litter, and especially water.However, your existence as a sentient piece of bread does not go totally unnoticed. Mr. Murton, the man who owns the house you traverse, begins to suspect you're no ordinary little wheat germ. But he's also a geriatric man with a grudge against the city council who vexes him. A regular visitor of the Therapy Barn to deal with stress, his therapist thinks he's going senile when he tries to explain how his house is being routinely trashed each day by a chunk of toasted bread.The game has a wide variety of interactive objects in the house that you find yourself in. You could be dropping a bowling ball on a TV in one level, to cooking yourself on hair curlers in another. All to reach the goal of being toast. Yes, it's exactly as bizarre as it sounds.A part of the Early Access program on Steam, it was released fully on the 9th of April, 2015. Its page can be found here.On June 13, 2021, Bossa Studios released a demo for the sequel, I Am Fish, which is about controlling a fish trying to make its way back to the sea. The full game launched later that year.

The Cameo: In the epilogue, you use the bread to startle Mr. Murton into crashing his car. The camera holds on the wreckage, before a car is heard pulling up. After that, what should reach through the car door but the arm of Nigel Burke himself?

comment
Hurricane of Puns: The game hits you with a pun relating to bread upon successful completion of a level. For example, doing well might yield "Self-raising the bar". Doing poorly might result in "Kneads improvement". Also, the books on the bookshelf in the living room are all titled with bread puns, as are the videos dotted around the rooms.

comment
Lampshade Hanging: The notes from the Therapy Barn at the beginning of each level in the main campaign serve as a massive lampshade hanging of the absurdity of the fact that the bread can even move of its own accord, let alone do what it does in each level.

Cool, but Inefficient: Many of the ways you can toast yourself. For instance, in one level you can climb boxes, a bookcase, and fling yourself across shelves to drop a bowling ball on the TV below, causing it to overheat, or you can toast yourself on the nearby space heater, which takes significantly less effort.

comment
Stuff Blowing Up: In the Petrol Station, rather than become toast directly, you end up exposing flammable gas/petroleum to a spark. Take a wild guess how that goes. Although this still toasts you and completes the level! It said to become toast, but it never said how!

Stealth Prequel: The whole game is heavily implied to be this to Surgeon Simulator 2013, with the game ended with Mr. Burton (which his first name revealed to be Bob) goes into a car accident due to being startled by the bread, before eventually discovered by presumably none other than Nigel Burke himself and closed off with a snippet of the main theme from that game.

Difficult, but Awesome: In the case of the TV, getting A++ is far easier with it than with the space heater. The latter is vertically aligned, so you have a harder time getting an even toast. The TV is flat, so you can just drop on it and flip when one side is ready. It's just a matter of getting over there.

comment
Call a Hit Point a "Smeerp": When playing as the bread, you don't have a health bar. You have an Edibility bar. It drains from touching the floor or anything gross (cobwebs, ants...). You also lose edibility if you overcook yourself. In Cheese Hunt when you play as the crispbread. It has an Integrity bar, but the only way to lose integrity is hitting a surface too hard, after which it starts to crack apart. This trope is even more glaring in Starch Wars; your health is still called Edibility, but you lose it by crashing into asteroids/Rye Fighters and getting shot.

Lightning Bruiser: The Baguette in Rampage Mode. Tough to take out? Check—it has no Edibility/Integrity bar, making it impossible to "die". Fast moving? Check—No Grip meter and only two buttons make movement very easy compared to the Bread/Cracker. Powerful? Check—The whole point of Rampage Mode is to destroy everything in your path, and the previous two points make this much easier with the Baguette than the Bread/Cracker.

Mercy Mode: Added in the full release, becoming inedible too many times will allow the player to collect some Magic Marmalade. Not only does this make your bread sparkly, your grip and edibility both become infinite, essentially making the player invincible. Naturally, your rank will nosedive if you do this.
