Become Puts Players Inside the Reproductive Organs at Tokyo Game Show 2026
A reproduction-themed action game in an indie hall at Tokyo Game Show is a narrow curiosity rather than a trend, and its bounded scope is the point: one developer building movement mechanics around a body's geography, with a Japanese localization and an educational bent aimed at a 2026 release.

Czech creator Valentin Wirth is developing the action adventure Become, shown in the SELECTED INDIE 80 corner at Tokyo Game Show 2026. Announced in February, the game casts the player as one of hundreds of millions of sperm swimming toward the egg. Movement plays like ground walking with limited upward travel, and protein pickups grant abilities such as jumping. Heat zones drain stamina and cause a miss.
The playable build sits in the early part of the journey, starting from the moment the sperm are born in the testicles. Upward movement is restricted, so the feel is closer to walking than free swimming, and glowing protein pickups grant new abilities. Ingesting one unlocked a jump, letting the player reach higher ground.
Distinctive sperm appear as NPCs who are both comrades and rivals, with conversation scenes that push the build toward adventure game territory. The player character currently has a baby-like face with a pacifier, and the PV and key visuals show a glasses-wearing figure as well.
