## About Baby Steps

Baby Steps is a physics-based action-adventure game developed by Gabe Cuzzillo, Maxi Boch, and Bennett Foddy, published by Devolver Digital. Players control Nate as he attempts something deceptively simple yet fiendishly difficult: putting one foot in front of the other. The game features control mastery mechanics with no checkpoints, and players encounter procedural challenges throughout its medium-length experience. Reviewers highlight the intricate control mechanics, multiple paths for exploration, a philosophically awkward narrative, and hidden secrets and Easter eggs as key attractions. Priced at $19.99 and verified for Steam Deck, Baby Steps has earned a 91% positive rating from over 1,500 Steam reviews.
