About biorhythm

In biorhythm, you play as bacteria lost in the human body. As the heart beats, everything in the body moves to the rhythm. You'll swim through the bloodstream to the beat, exploring, fighting other microbes, and duplicating yourself as you go.

As the progression of your lifecycle weakens the body, you'll face terrifying challenges; vicious microbes, hungering white blood cells, intense fever.

The game runs 2.5 - 3 hours. It features hand-painted art, an orchestral score, and a thrilling story.
  • Grow a swarm of bacteria and explore the human body at a microscopic scale
  • Encounter strange microbes & fearsome white blood cells
  • Live as an outsider in a vast, incomprehensible system

Created by Brady Soglin. Art by Anna Cich & Jackie Lombard. Sounds by Dylan Payne & Bobby Volpendesta.

[b]In this game you play as a bacteria swimming through the veins of a human.[/b] You wake up with no recollection of life before, and no idea of what is happening, who or what you are. You slowly begin to piece the reality around you together as you explore and split into many You’s. The story explores morals and relationships as well as the sense of self. Though it isn’t exactly groundbreaking, its simplicity gives it a raw quality that I quite enjoy. I don’t personally tend to care much for the storylines of games, but Biorhythm has really struck a balance where it is both compelling but not intrusive, just popping up once in a while and in short intervals, which makes it all the more impactful for me. - Show, don’t tell. The concept of Biorhythm has given way to one really interesting and unique mechanic: you only move when the heart pumps and the blood around you moves, too. This mechanic is so cool and emerges you more into the game. The rhythmic thumping of the heart makes for a really interesting soundscape as you go through the game. Another thing I quite like about this game is the art. It has a grungy, rough feel to it which really compliments and honestly ties to…

When I discovered this game, I wasn't expecting a whole cinematic experience. It's a piece of art. This game triggered a variety of reactions in me, from muscle tension to deep relaxation, sadness, and even a feeling of malice. I was glued to the screen and didn't stop playing before I reached one ending. A bizarre concept, perfectly executed! It tells a story about bacteria, the human body; about disharmony, selfishness, the loss of self, and sense of identity. Despite the battle mechanic being challenging at certain times, it's implemented well. The battles were tense, required understanding of the mechanics, some sense for rhythm, and quick decision making as well as reaction speed ( - defense or attack?). The sound design is very atmospheric – I personally found it calming to hear the steady heartbeat while the bacteria moved. Even if you don't tolerate heartbeat sounds well, I would recommend the game: the bacteria moving in rhythm with the heartbeat can alleviate the restlessness and unpleasant feeling that comes with hearing a steady heartbeat. The drawing style is easy to understand. The colors appear literally natural, making it easy to recognize certain things. It rem…

Игра 'Biorhythm' – это забавная и простая развлекательная программа, которая предлагает взглянуть на себя и свои дни с точки зрения трех основных биоритмов: физического, эмоционального и интеллектуального. Хотя научная достоверность этих расчетов остается под вопросом, игра вполне подходит для того, чтобы добавить немного интереса в повседневную рутину. Интерфейс часто бывает минималистичным и интуитивно понятным, что особенно ценно для тех, кто не привык к сложным приложениям. Она позволяет ввести свою дату рождения и посмотреть графики, показывающие текущие значения ваших биоритмов, а также прогнозировать их на будущее. Не стоит воспринимать результаты как абсолютную истину, скорее как мотивацию для анализа своего состояния. Хороший день по графику – отличный повод для активных действий, а "критический" – напоминание о необходимости беречь себя и избегать перенапряжения. В целом, 'Biorhythm' – это неплохой способ развлечься и, возможно, обратить внимание на те аспекты своего самочувствия, которые обычно ускользают от внимания. Главное – не относиться к этому слишком серьезно и помнить, что это всего лишь игра. Тем не менее, она может стать интересным поводом для самоанализа и…

This game is beautiful. Calm. And interesting. The story is good. The art is good. The mechanic is novel. But not so easy. And can feel annoying at times. The game is on the hard side. Sometimes I wanted to give up. But something kept me playing. All in all. It was a beautiful experience. I would recommend it

A fun, short little game that tells an original and very human story without ever doing the easy thing and zooming out to the actual human you're inside of. If you play you will be pleasantly surprised.
