Baby Steps preview: Serious gameplay in a silly walking sim

Summary

Nutrition label

58% Informative

Baby Steps is a walking simulator from a trio of veteran game developers.

The game stars Nate , an unemployed adult dude who lives in his parents’ basement, as he explores an arid mountain landscape one shaky, unsure step at a time.

Using a gamepad, you control Nate ’s legs individually, one per trigger, and his limbs are incredibly sensitive to small changes in button depression.

Nate murmurs and monosyllabizes his way through conversations, and he tends to get cut off by the NPCs' eager observations.

Behind all the absurdity, Baby Steps is an incredibly well-crafted, hyper-detailed relaxation tool.

While it is laugh-out-loud funny, its mechanics cut deeper than its oddball trailers suggest.

In practice, it actually left me feeling meditative.
