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.

Pretty good, less painful then getting over it. Most of the hard climbs can be skipped, but somehow the game makes you want to do the hard stuff just out of merit for yourself, which I can't recall any last game has

The character slides way too much like he's dramatic about it. The game is extremely unforgiving when you make a mistake. The developers made this game just for pure rage bait. I'm fine with punishments for your

A test of patience, but a great one. This game is well crafted, funny e very weird. I didn't encounter any bugs. You should take it very slow and enjoy the scenery. Obviously, this game isn't for everyone, but it is for

the gameplay really fun and i'm enjoying it. Would be good if there was 2 player co-op. It gets lonely after a while. I hope that if the devs make another game like this, they will allow the use for the push of a button

A very entertaining and rewarding game. Like every other Bennett Foddy game the controls are going to feel alien and usable at first, but after an hour you'll be walking perfectly fine with the occasional fall. The joy
