Fish, sell, upgrade, dress-up: simple enough, but there’s a quiet charm here that’s hard to resist. Just you and a few strangers, casting lines and chatting if you feel like it - the exact right kind of lowkey. No pressure, just good vibes, plenty of fish, and maybe even a new friend.

In Egg Squeeze, one embarks on a journey that mirrors the human condition. Balancing fragility and strength, desire and restraint. The egg, a symbol of potential, demands our patience, our steady hand. Yet, in the moment of release, we confront our own mortality. It is not merely a game; it is a dialogue between player and object, an inquiry into control, vulnerability, and the very nature of existence. Each squeeze, an act of trust. Each fracture, a reflection of our inherent limitations. Memento mori. Egg.

Won’t be for everyone, but a great addition to the genre.
