Remember the age of Flash games that were purposely difficult to control? That's what Baby Steps reminds us of — only this one is in 3D and appears to have some sort of bizarre narrative. Devolver Digital sure knows how to pick 'em.
You play as Nate, a 30-something slacker living in his parents' basement, who is one day warped into a surreal landscape and with almost no ability to walk. As you can see in the above trailer, this looks to have attended the same school of design as Octodad: Dadliest Catch; just getting from A to B is a struggle, and that's just a straight line. The game is clearly built around this idea of simply getting the man to move through increasingly unusual obstacles. We should expect nothing less from Bennett Foddy, the mind behind the viral sensation, Getting Over It.
Anyway, it looks ridiculous. We kind of want to see where it goes, because it clearly has a story to tell on top of the awkward gameplay. We won't get to find out what it's truly all about until next year, though, when it launches on PS5. Are you excited for Baby Steps? Tumble head first into the comments section below.

WTF is this?!
@get2sammyb I have no idea. Also, I have no idea why I want to play it.
I actually really like Getting Over It, so this has my attention.
It’s the me simulator, i feel like magic!!
This is a true Getting Over It sequel
I thought I wouldnt be interested.........but that scene at the end nade me chuckle.
If the game is full of little funny cutscenes in unexpected trigger points........ Sign me up
Death stranding 2 is coming on well I see !
I've never played Death Stranding, but watching gameplay of that felt as ridiculous as watching gameplay of this. Except this game feels like a small "intended to be stupid fun" game, whereas Death Stranding felt like someone decided to make a AAA game in the QWOP/Octodad genre.
In any case, this intrigues me.
@get2sammyb Do we knew the identity of the developer for this game?
