I’m so fascinated by video game trailers I woke up this morning –dedicated a day almost exclusively on video game trailers– Fear of the things I would have to see and write about. Then imagine my surprise when, after about 109 videos, one day I found one that made me laugh out loud.
That is Small stepsan upcoming game from the same guys that made it monkey out And get over it. It is…essentially QWOPa game about putting one foot in front of the other, only now in 3D and you are in a huge adventure in a fantasy world?
I love it. This seems to be the funniest and most frustrating game in the world. Simultaneously. Here is the official description:
Play as Nate, an unemployed loser with nothing to offer, until one day he discovers a power he never knew he had… by putting one foot in front of the other.
Explore a world shrouded in fog step by step. Hike the tranquil mountains by taking each step yourself in original, physics-based gameplay from the minds behind Ape Out and Getting Over It. Enjoy the sights, fall in love with the local fauna and try to find a sense all at once to find wasted lives.
Get ready to fall in love with Nate in Baby Steps, a literal walking simulator.
KEY FEATURES
– Fully simulated physics-based walking.
– A world that seems to come alive with a dynamic soundtrack of 420 beats and vibes.
– A long hike up a mountain-sized mountain that you can explore at your own pace or more slowly.
– Fully dynamic one-piece floor system.

Small steps coming sometime in 2024, for both PS5 and PC.
