Born of Bread is a whimsical turn-based action-RPG for Windows, developed by WildArts and published by Plug In Digital. The game stars Loaf, a living flour golem brought to life by the royal baker’s accidental baking magic, who embarks on a quest to save the kingdom from ancient demons and chaos. The story is lighthearted and humorous, with colorful 2.5D/3D graphics inspired by classic cartoony RPGs like Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, blending both two- and three-dimensional visuals for a charming aesthetic. Players explore a vibrant world with diverse locales — from mysterious ruins and bustling cities to icy plains — all while meeting a quirky cast of allies and quirky characters who join Loaf on his adventure.
Combat uses a turn-based system with interactive elements where timing and reflexes can influence outcomes, and players must manage weapon choices, resistances, and teammate actions to succeed. Outside battles, players undertake side-quests, puzzle challenges, and collect upgrades that improve Loaf’s abilities and gear — all broadcast to a fictional in-game audience for bonus rewards. While Born of Bread received mixed to average reviews overall, many players praise its visual charm, humor, and RPG depth despite some gameplay rough edges.
