History VideoGame / IAmBread

* CassandraTruth: As the game progress, Mr. Burton is trying to warn people that the bread is alive and causing chaos with its attempt to be toasted to no avail, which is not helped with his record of being stressed out as he ends up sent to The Therapy Barn.

* ExcusePlot: Why are you a piece of bread traversing the environment to toast yourself? Who cares? The real focus is on trying to navigate the place and stay edible enough to be toasted. [[spoiler:On the other hand as the game progress, Mr. Burton is slowly being aware of the bread's antics, but nobody believes him.]]

* StealthPrequel: [[spoiler:The whole game is seemingly serve as this to ''VideoGame/SurgeonSimulator2013'', 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 the main theme from that game.]]

* TheCameo: In the epilogue, [[spoiler: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 [[VideoGame/SurgeonSimulator2013 Nigel Burke]] himself]]?

* StuffBlowingUp: In the Petrol Station, [[spoiler: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]]!

Brought to us by the same minds that gave us ''VideoGame/SurgeonSimulator2013'', ''I Am Bread'' is a game where [[TitleDrop you are]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin 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.

* CameraScrew: When you are on a ledge, the camera tends to swing wildly, situate itself behind solid walls, or just turn away from your bread and forces you to play blind.

On June 13, 2021, Bossa Studios released a demo for the sequel, ''VideoGame/IAmFish'', which is about controlling a fish trying to make its way back to the sea. The game will launch properly on Q3 2021.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The Starch Wars update. Instead of traveling through a certain environment looking for a heat source to toast yourself with, you're a Bread Spaceship attempting to destroy an Ironing Board Star Destroyer and save your Baguette Mothership.

* LampshadeHanging: 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 it's own accord, let alone do what it does in each level.

* PressStartToGameOver: The third level starts you directly above a sink, which you can (and probably will, on your first try) fall into for an instant failure.

** The bedroom contains an inexplicably-animate [[WesternAnimation/PixarShorts swivel lamp).

* ShoutOut: The [[WorldOfPun puns]] in the Zero-G levels all pertain to ''Franchise/StarWars''. Do well? "The Force is strong in this bun." Do badly? "I have a bap feeling about this..."

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The Starch Wars update. Instead of traveling through a certain environment looking for a heat source to toast yourself with, you're a Bread!Spaceship attempting to destroy an Ironing Board!Star Destroyer and save your Baguette!Mothership.

* ContinuityNod: Not for ''I Am Bread'' but for ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' in the [=TF2=] bonus level. You have the option to teeleport our slice of bread to try and progress through the stage. If you do, you manifest the same {{Sickly Green Glow}}ing tumors that affected the teleported bread in the ''Expiration Date'' short.

* OneHitKill: If the bread lands in water, it's an [[NoExceptYes (almost)]] instant game over, since soggy bread will crumble apart.
