Developed by Team Terrible · Published by Team Terrible
You play a babysitter responsible for a suspicious baby in yellow. Feed him, change his diaper, read him a bedtime story, and get him to sleep as ordinary childcare begins to unravel.
Across a series of chapters, tasks lead into puzzles, shifting surroundings, and encounters with the baby's strange powers. When events turn dangerous, you may have to escape chase sequences and find a way forward.
Interact with the baby and objects around the home using physics-based controls, and look for details that reveal more about the story. Finding trapped souls can unlock cheats, while the chapters build a larger supernatural mystery.
Players often enjoy the game's mix of absurd babysitting tasks, comedy, and sudden horror, along with the unpredictable baby encounters and chase scenes. Many also praise the story and hidden lore, and describe the puzzles as engaging without being too difficult. Some reviews find later sections repetitive or drawn out, and several look forward to the story's final chapter.
The Baby In Yellow is a Lovecraftian comedy horror game where you must look after a suspicious baby and survive his attempts to take control.
Over the course of 11 chapters this creepy bundle of madness must be well-fed, clean and most importantly, kept entertained.
