Title
A pretty weird, and kinda pretentious by the guy behind Binding of Isaac. Its gameplay of a weird lifeform coming to form, with story interlogues in between missions. The gameplay is pretty simply, and it ranges from getting a sperm cell to fertilize an egg to using your tentacles to feed the fetus. Its pretty disturbing, and the weird and abstract story interludes make it even more.

Im not quite sure what i am looking at here, but the art style and story segments are cool. I wish the gameplay was a bit more developed. Its a short game, but so unique it might be even worth recommending.
