At some point in your life, you’ll realize that you won the ultimate race, with the grand prize being your very existence. Wouldn’t that make for an interesting video game? It’s a concept that indie developer Valentin Wirth has run wild with, as they recently unveiled a first look at Become, a 3D platformer about the grand journey to be the fastest sperm alive. Here’s the first trailer for Become, which is probably not safe for work, but it is adorable:
Described as a short single-player, third-person adventure, Become casts you as a sperm cell that is competing against millions of others in the game of life. To stand a chance at winning this race and fertilizing an egg cell, your little sperm will have to learn, adapt, and grow stronger as it explores the human reproductive system.
You can even outfit the wiggly fellow with outfits–like a stylish shark costume–and a skill-progression system will help you overcome immune cells, acidic traps, and break through membranes.
