Baby Steps puts you in control of every single footstep as a washed-up loser hikes a massive mountain. It's a walking simulator, but properly, painfully literal.

Meet Nate. He’s got no job, no prospects, and absolutely nothing going for him, until he stumbles onto the one skill he’s actually got: putting one foot in front of the other. Baby Steps hands you full physics-based control over each individual footstep as Nate treks up a genuinely massive mountain, and honestly, just walking has never felt so hard or so weirdly satisfying.

This comes from the team behind Ape Out and Getting Over It, so you already know the controls are going to mess with your head in the best way. Every step is a small negotiation with gravity, mud, and your own patience, and the mountain doesn’t care how many times you slip. There’s a soiled onesie system too, because of course there is.

It’s slow, it’s mist covered, and it’s got a soundtrack that shifts with your mood as you climb. Baby Steps is a walking simulator in the most literal sense possible.
