A new indie game on Steam, titled "Crack," centers entirely around the concept of smashing open a colossal egg. This co-op title places players in a mysterious laboratory setting where they are tasked with breaking open an immense egg with an unknown origin and contents.
The gameplay loop of "Crack" involves more than simple destruction, as it's described as an "incremental adventure." Players begin with basic tools like pickaxes and chisels, but will eventually gain access to more unconventional items such as dynamite and other "weird tools" found within the laboratory. The game also features mechanics for building scaffolding and discovering secret rooms. Any fragments from the broken egg can be repurposed as in-game currency. The developers have stated that the egg harbors secrets and reacts to the player's actions.
"Crack" appears to be part of a trend of unique and often simple-premised indie games gaining traction on Steam. The game is set to release on October 26 and is available to wishlist on the platform.
