Press release:
Montreal, Canada, March 30th, 2023.
Hey Buddies! Fresh out the oven, indie developer WildArts, in partnership with Dear Villagers, has revealed its upcoming RPG “Born of Bread” will be coming to PC, Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series platforms in Summer 2023.

“Born of Bread” is a home-cooked retro throwback to classic cartoony RPGs full of fun characters and charming stories for children and adults alike.

This latest trailer shows our hero, the flour golem Loaf, as he goes about trying to help his buddies and rescue the land. Behold the colorful cast of unique buddies using their special abilities to help Loaf on his journey. Witness the vast array of attacks and mini-games in Born of Bread’s bespoke battle system. And take a gander at the colorful, varied environments Loaf and his pals will encounter in their epic adventure!

“With this extended look at Born of Bread‘s gameplay we wanted to showcase the world, characters, and tone of the game. That this is a lovable adventure taking an adorable cast on an unforgettable adventure,” said WildArts Lead Designer and Programmer Nicolas Lamarche.

“Of course there’s also a variety of engaging mechanics in the game, with its combat system that merges turn-based tactics with real-time reflexive mini-games, while Loaf’s doughy form allows him to change shape to solve a variety of puzzles. We look forward to showing you more as Born of Bread launches later this summer!”

To bake Born of Bread, you’ll need the following ingredients:

One flour golem who possesses a never-ending childlike wonder and a set of odd abilities
A wonderful world ripe with mysteries
An eclectic cast of fleshed-out characters
A wacky storyline
A pinch of light puzzles
Turn-based battles with a dash of real-time minigames
Bright, colorful 2.5D graphics
Side-missions (add to taste)
A captive audience granting you bonuses in battle

To start with, you’ll want your flour golem, Loaf. Put him in a mystical land where he can mingle with his friends and local folk. Although he may not look like much, Loaf might be the hero this land kneads!

Stir in a story of beings from another age causing havoc across the land. And with their mischief comes a great threat to everyone!

Mold an eclectic cast of endearing characters, 2.5D illustrated setting, environmental puzzles, and unique turn-based /real-time hybrid battles. Be sure you know what your enemy is weak or resistant against, as it will take brains and reflexes to thwart Born of Bread’s throngs of foes.

Ensure that each battle in Born of Bread is live-streamed. If the player’s actions entertain the audience enough, they’ll be rewarded with bonuses. Additionally, permanent viewers can offer further objectives to complete for even more rewards.

Piece of cake! Now leave in the oven until Summer 2023, and the result should look like this:
