About

The art is great! But this is not a game. There are no choices, no meaningful interactions, no consequences to your actions. You just press buttons that it tells you to press. Completely linear railroad. Really, I don't understand why it's made into a game, it'd be much better as a short film. The only meaningful choice I've managed to make in an hour is not to keep "playing". I'd rather watch a letsplay.
If you want a game with a serious story this is not the game for you, I mean you could by the name of this game. This is also a great game, for those who want nightmare baby sitting simulator, because that's what this is, with a little bit of escape room on the side for funzies. 9/10 would run away from yellow baby again (jaundice baby D: )

step 1, kick the child step 2.start the game
An interesting and fun horror game. I expected to just babysit a normal child, but I quickly realized this baby is definitely not normal. 😂
Very good but SCARY! Do not play if you are prone to jumpscares! DO play if you love horror!
threw the baby into the toilet then in the oven and then started to play
Scary Baby
A perfectly normal babysitting game
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.
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!
