Description

Step into the worn-out slippers of Nate, a directionless dreamer with zero accomplishments and infinite excuses, whose life changes forever when he unlocks an extraordinary ability—walking. Yes, one foot in front of the other. Revolutionary? Absolutely.

Venture through a mist-laced, dreamlike wilderness where every step is a struggle and a revelation. Experience groundbreaking physics-driven movement crafted by the visionary minds behind *Ape Out* and *Getting Over It*. Scale breathtaking, tranquil peaks by manually placing each footfall, bask in the quiet beauty of nature, bond with curious woodland creatures, and maybe—just maybe—uncover purpose in a life long written off.

Meet Nate. Feel his journey. Embrace the grind. This is *Baby Steps*—not just a game, but a pilgrimage in a onesie.

👟 True-to-life, physics-powered locomotion.

⛰️ An epic, unhurried ascent up a mountain as massive as it is mysterious—explore at your own painfully slow pace.

😫 Real-time, procedural onesie staining—because every misstep leaves a mark.

🎶 A living score that swells with your strides, woven from 420 hand-crafted beats and pure, unfiltered vibes.

🤠 Hats you can't collect, find, or wear—but hey, at least you can see them not happening.

If you've ever wanted to stumble around as a bumbling idiot no matter how good your best is, this game is for you. I love how worthless this game makes me feel. 10/10 no notes. Awesome game

A strange and quirky game that explores arrested development in a humorous but oddly compassionate way. While the Fodian frustration is here, the game is very completable. It is open-world QWOP the same way Elden Ring

After 111 hours of playing this game, I have FINALLY DONE IT. SCREW YOU NATHAN FOR NEVER ACCEPTING ANYBODY'S HELP. You stink. You wasted my time. I could have been doing much more productive things. Like, knitting a

not for everyone, not for the faint of heart, I had some of the most nerve-wracking moments in my life playing this game, but it is incredible. There's really nothing like Baby Steps, and I don't believe there will be

Every minute I spend playing this game makes me question myself. I hate it, but I respect it. Every time I choose to push on, I think of Nate's stupid chud face making excuses and refusing help, acting like he's got

I never thought I'd say this but Bennett Foddy has actually made a FUN game. I play this game to have a GOOD time and RELAX. I cannot emphasize enough how serious I am being here, yes it's a rage game, but it feels fair
