During Devolver Direct 2023, a team of developers that includes Gabe Cuzzillo, Maxi Boch, and Bennett Foddy announced literal walking simulator Baby Steps. Check out the trailer for the incredibly strange game below.
Baby Steps puts players into the shoes of Nate as he finds himself transported to a mysterious place. Players will have to hike the game’s mountains and explore its fields with a unique control scheme that has them placing each individual footstep by themself.
The game features fully-simulated physics-based walking, a dynamic soundtrack that changes depending on the situation players will find themselves in, and a lengthy trek up a mountain that can be explored at the player’s own pace. The game’s soundtrack is built out of over 420 beats and vibes.
The development team behind Baby Steps has quite a bit of pedigree, such as Ape Out developer Maxi Boch, and Bennett Foddy, who is known for his work on Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy and QWOP.
