About

Perfect Game! It's really fun with easy challenges at the start, but later it will be hard. I beat the Game in 2 days and am waiting for Act 5!
i love it so so much becouse its the best game ever im not kiding pllll make more im biging with puppy eyes
The Baby in Yellow'un basit bir bebek bakıcılığı işini bu kadar tuhaf ve eğlenceli hale getirmesine şaşırdım. Her gece işler biraz daha garipleşiyor ve ne olacağını tahmin edemiyorsun. Korku ile absürt mizahı güzel dengeliyor. Ben çok beğendim, kısa ama akılda kalan bir korku deneyimi arayanlara kesin öneririm.
youd get the same experience watching it
the game is interesting and very fun to play, i did get scared a few times but its really good considering its based on the king in yellow i might see the original story.
I was very, very suprised by how much I liked this. A goofy yet creepy game with lovecraftian elements sprinkled in. Completely unpredictable moment to moment that had me chuckling to myself as I'd throw the Baby in the oven and five minutes later deliver a completely terrifying chase sequence with creepy visuals. Also, can I just say that good work to whoever did the illustrations for the graphic novels in the first act? Can't wait for the final chapter. Overall score: 8/10
This is a wild game, highly entertaining, well worth the money. Whatever you think is going to happen next, you're wrong.
holy jesus ever since this was jusr=t an unreal engine it looked really cool now ,ook at it its BADASS still the sad part is in act 4 when you have to check the babies they dont show the creepy face anymore and plus most of the npcs aka newt and baby in yellow they just skip their animation like they tick but still the game is super good i really cant wait for the final act :)
so after seeing this game on the internet credits to dakblake+The frustrated gamer. No complaints just what i say a perfect game for me is. Thank you for making a game thats perfect please keep updating devlopers thank you.
Very fun and the puzzles are tricky, but not too tricky. It was fun to play and the baby was absolutely terrifying
