The article discusses the addictive and absurd game “Baby Steps,” which features a protagonist named Nate. Nate, a 35-year-old man who has spent his life watching anime in his parents’ basement, is suddenly transported to a surreal mountain. The player controls Nate’s individual foot movements, navigating him through challenging terrains such as narrow planks, dunes, and rocky ledges. Despite the game’s difficulty and Nate’s frequent falls, the author finds the game compelling and has spent a week playing it. The game also features eccentric characters who offer unaccepted assistance, adding to the game’s overall absurdity.
