GDC 2025 Previews Highlight Baby Steps' Challenging Gameplay and Humor

The upcoming walking simulator, developed by Bennett Foddy, Maxi Boch, and Gabe Cuzzillo, is set for release later this year on PC and PlayStation 5.

Baby Steps, developed by the creators of Getting Over It and Ape Out, features precise, physics-based walking mechanics that require players to control each of the protagonist's legs individually.
Players navigate an open-world mountain environment as Nate, an unemployed man in a onesie, using self-guided exploration with no health, death, or artificial obstacles.
The game blends humor and absurdity, with Nate's awkward movements, improvised dialogue, and comedic environmental interactions central to its tone.
Dynamic soundscapes and detailed visual elements enhance the meditative, immersive gameplay experience, rewarding careful movement and exploration.
Set to release in 2025, Baby Steps has garnered attention for its innovative mechanics and is being published by Devolver Digital for PC and PlayStation 5.
