A new Steam game, titled Banana Life Sim, gives players a chance to become a banana and do nothing but, well, be a banana.
Steam games have become increasingly bizarre of late. This year alone has seen the release of platformers that only let one person play at a time, and a viral game in which players find a needle in a haystack.
Now, developer Dynamic Games has taken the absurdity of these viral games to another level with a newly released Steam title that lets players experience life as a banana.
It costs less than a dollar
Banana Life Sim, released on October 23, is a game developed by Dynamic Games. It is described, quite plainly, as a game in which you can become a banana. The Steam store listing says it offers “meditative gameplay.”
“You can stand and contemplate the beauty of the forest around you, living your life as a banana,” the listing reads. “You can also perform the actions that bananas usually do (mostly standing in the same place).”
The game, which costs $0.69 until November 6, has features listed as follows: “You’re a banana. You’re in the forest. There are other bananas around you. And not only bananas.”
There are five available achievements for “being a banana.” Players can achieve beginner status after being a banana for one hour, and eventually reach godlike status for being a banana for 100 hours.
Players have seen the funny side too, taking to the reviews section to join in the fun. “Played 105 hours of the demo, bought this for 69 cents, booted it up, got all the achievements. 10/10 would do it again,” one user wrote.
Another wrote: “This is a fantastic game. The visuals are amazing and the plot. Oh! The plot! It is absolutely incredible. This evoked emotions I have not felt since I first came into this world. 10/10 would play again.”
