A small microphone is inserted inside the user's bellybutton, and is the user's only source of control - no mouse or keyboard. Everything that the user's body does affects Egg - slight movements, breathing and tummy rumblings. The user can flex his/her stomach to interact with it, discreetly making small movements beneath his/her shirt.

Egg is made of two independent parts, an outer shell and an inner yolk. Both of these are comprised of independent vertices, who move and interact with eachother, continually trying to return to equilibrium. As the user irritates Egg by flexing his/her stomach, the yolk collides with the walls of the shell, making the yolk grow and the shell shrink, increasing general chaos.

As Egg gets too chaotic, the user must stay completely still to let Egg return to equilibrium - often this leads to desparate measures, such as holding your breath. Every movement, even unintentional (or intestinal!), affects Egg, forcing the user to stay completely focused on the interation. While control over Egg is simple, the user and the organism begin to merge, making a bodily connection.
