Baby Steps is a punishing walking simulator that uses mini-game cutscenes and an unskippable 28-minute finale to punish players who skip narrative moments.
I spent most of my first hour of Baby Steps with myface planted in the ground. It's not what I thought my first hour would be. After all, this is Bennett Foddy's (the man behind other maddening games like the crossover hit QWOP and 2017's Getting Over It) first "open world" game. Surely the philosopher-turned-designer would broaden his newest game's appeal by curbing the unwieldy controls his games are known for.
