Baby steps is literally a walking simulator coming in 2024. Devolver Digital announced the game at its Devolver Direct show on Thursday, and the creatives behind this work should tell you something about how wacky it is.
From Bennett Foddy, whose absurd QWOP can be seen everywhere Baby stepspremise, and Monkey out Gabe Cuzillo and Maxi Boch, Baby steps looks at how terrifying walking can be when you’ve spent your whole life in your parent’s basement.
The premise is that man, Nate, is “an unemployed loser who has nothing going for him”, who is zapped out of the basement and transported outside, where he learns to walk – onesie and all!
baby steps’ a sheet promises “a world that seems to come alive with a dynamic soundtrack constructed from four hundred and twenty beats and vibes”, alongside “fully simulated physics-based walking”.
Baby steps will launch in 2024 for PlayStation 5 and Windows PC.
