Compete for “sperm”! A solo sperm race that won an award at TGS
This game is a short, single-player adventure played from a third-person perspective. As a single sperm, the player must win the race against hundreds of millions of rivals in the race toward the creation of life.
Designed as a story-driven experience lasting 2–3 hours, the game features character customization, upgrades that allow cells to evolve by collecting sugar and protein, and obstacles such as immune cells, acid, and cell membranes. Announced on February 14, 2026, the game surpassed 60,000 wishlist entries within about 10 days.
In recent events, at the Tokyo Game Show 2026, it won the Gold Award at the “SELECTED INDIE 80 Excellence Awards” as well as the Pocky Award presented by an official ambassador. It was also selected as a finalist for another award, “SENSE OF WONDER NIGHT 2026.”
Regarding this title, it was recently revealed that it has surpassed 145,000 wishlist entries, and the developer commented, “It seems many people agree that it’s far more interesting than a biology class where you’d doze off.”
*Become*, which centers on the grand adventure everyone experiences before birth, is scheduled for release on Steam in 2026.
