About Baby Steps

Baby Steps casts you as Nate, an unemployed failson drifting through life with nothing to his name, until he stumbles upon a power he never knew he possessed: the simple, profound act of putting one foot in front of the other. From that premise grows an original physics-based journey through a world wrapped in mist.

This is, quite literally, a walking simulator, and it comes from minds behind Ape Out and Getting Over It. You hike serene, mountain-sized terrain by placing each individual footstep yourself, taking in the sights, growing fond of the local fauna, and searching for a little meaning in a life that's gone to waste. The trek is lengthy, and you're free to explore its slopes at your own pace, or slower still.

The details lean into deadpan comedy, from a fully dynamic onesie soilage system to a world that comes alive with a dynamic soundtrack assembled from 420 beats and vibes, plus a collection of resolutely non-collectible hats. As an action-adventure with plenty of casual, indie charm, it turns the humble business of walking into something oddly compelling. On PC, players ready to fall for Nate will find a wry, unhurried climb.
