Yeah, you read that right – this is a video game where you play as a piece of bread on an epic journey to become an actual piece of toast.

I Am Bread has been out on Steam Early Access since December of last year, and now the developers at Bossa Studios have let it slip that the game will indeed come out on iOS, as soon as they finish up the PC/Mac version.

If you’ve seen the massively viral hit game Goat Simulator, you’ll immediately have a sense of how this one plays out. You’ll hit various keys on your keyboard or buttons on your controller, and move a slice of oddly movable bread around, trying to find some way to toast yourself. Here’s a quick video to visualize it.

Weird games with physical simulations are all the rage these days, with games like The Dadliest Catch and Goat Simulator catching the fancy of a ton of gamers. The two guys in the developer diary, Oliver and Malford, certainly exude a certain odd charm in the announcement video, which went live today.

Bossa Studios released the similarly wacky Steam game Surgeon Simulator onto iOS last year, which takes a quirky approach to performing virtual surgery on various human and alien bodies. This isn’t the developers’ first computer to mobile game rodeo, so chances are you’ll dig it as much as you dig sentient toast.

If you’re interested in more developer diaries as you await the iOS version of this bizarre little game, the team releases one a week on YouTube.
