“Born of Bread feels like the perfect holiday game,” said WildArts Lead Designer and Programmer Nicolas Lamarche. “It’s filled to the brim with hilarious gags, charming characters, culinary puns, and a lengthy adventure that captures the essence of classic RPGs from the 90s. Born of Bread is our ode to the kinds of games that we spent our childhood holidays playing, so we’re ecstatic to pass this tradition on to the next generation!”
“When we first laid eyes on Born of Bread we knew it was a keeper,” said Guillaume Jamet, Head of Publishing for Dear Villagers. “It instantly made us laugh, then continued to surprise us with its strong visual identity, addictive action-based take on turn-based combat, and incredible writing. We’re so glad that we can finally share the full adventure with all of you!”
Born of Bread is a home-cooked turn-based role-playing adventure that throws back to classic cartoony RPGs full of fun characters and charming stories for children and adults alike. Beings from another age are causing havoc across the land and their mischief comes as a great threat for everyone. The unlikeliest hero, Loaf, a golem born of bread who possesses a never-ending childlike wonder, will find himself and his newfound friends in the middle of a drama that’s thousands of years in the making.
Explore a wonderful world ripe with mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic ruins of the Forest of Roots to the freezing landscapes of Frosty Flats. With the help of your buddies, face off against menacing baddies and engage in fun, quirky turn-based /real-time hybrid combat.
The full recipe to bake Born of Bread requires the following ingredients:
