Our take on Baby Steps
Walking is not treated merely as travel between objectives; it is the central activity. The game replaces ordinary movement with individually placed, physics-based footsteps and frames a lengthy mountain trek around that unusual form of control.
What is Baby Steps?
Baby Steps follows Nate, an unemployed man who finds an unexpected ability to walk.
Players make their way through a mist-covered mountain landscape, controlling each step in a physics-based system. The expansive mountain route can be explored at a chosen speed, including a very slow pace. Along the way, the game features scenic surroundings and local wildlife. Its soundtrack changes dynamically, assembled from 420 beats and vibes as the world develops. Nate’s outfit also has a changing soilage system, and hats appear without being collectible. The game is centered on a long mountain hike and the challenge of controlling Nate’s movement on foot.
