The Therapist Gamer

In I Am Bread you play as . . . a piece of bread.  You can mostly just wiggle, but you have the power to stick the corners of the bread to anything.  For example, if you stick two corners to the ground you can push the joystick forward to flip over, then unstick those corners and stick the other two to flip again.  It's one of those games where the bad control scheme is actually what makes the game fun and funny. 

 

In general you start each level in a room and need to find some way to get toasted.  Once you find a heat source you try to find a way to get over to it and become a crisp golden-brown piece of delicious toast.  Along the way you can get dirty, and if you get too dirty then the game is over.  The floor is always dirty so you have to work out other methods to get across the room.  You can climb on the walls but you have a "grip meter," and if it runs out then you'll let go of whatever you're attached to and often fall to the floor.  A lot of the obstacles are pretty funny, like trying to navigate around the bathroom without getting finger nail clippings stuck to the bread.  Each level typically has a few heat sources and as long as you can figure out how to get toasted, you're good!  In the first level you are in a kitchen with a toaster, but the easiest way to get toasted is actually on the stove.

 

The story is presented in the form of a therapist's session notes with the owner of the house you play in.  As each level passes you learn that the owner of the house talks in therapy about how he found a piece of bread that toasted itself using the radiator, and other such hijinks.  His therapist thinks he's delusional and I thought it was pretty funny.  The game is pretty cheap and I think it's worth a go!
