Baby Steps

Nate, an unemployed adult, finds himself in a surreal outdoor world with a mountain to climb. The journey follows his attempts to make his way through the landscape and the odd people he encounters along the way.

Walking is the central challenge: you control Nate’s feet individually and manage his balance as he crosses uneven ground and climbs. A misstep can send him tumbling back, so progress depends on learning the movement and trying again.

The route includes checkpoints, alternate paths, and optional climbing challenges. Exploring can uncover hats, objects to carry, and scenes with characters; many detours offer no conventional reward beyond what you find or the challenge itself.

Players who enjoy the game often praise the comic, awkward character interactions and the way the story develops beyond its silly premise. Many also find satisfaction in learning the deliberate walking controls and exploring the mountain’s alternate routes and optional challenges. Experiences with the difficulty vary: some describe the trek as calming or manageable, while others find its falls and lost progress deeply frustrating.
