Introducing the first soulslike god game: Spore and Dark Souls collide in what might be the weirdest life sim on Steam

Big pink monkey stares down at odd purple insect in a screenshot from Strange Seed.

Sometimes you hear a pitch so bonkers, you just have to sit up, lean in, and slam your first against that Steam Wishlist button as fast as you can. Spore meets Dark Souls did exactly that to me earlier today.

Enter Strange Seed, a game that's looking to EA's wildly ambitious but flawed life sim Spore for inspiration. Only this time, it's leaving the whole interplanetary stuff behind. The gist is that you begin as a simple blob, but as you defeat more and more creatures, you unlock new body parts that you can then bolt on to your round body. Wings, claws, mushrooms, odd appendages - dealer's choice.
