'Baby Steps' Is a Hiking Game That Trolls 'Slightly Problematic' Men

Is a Hiking Game That Trolls'Slightly Problematic' Men The walking simulator, launching September 23 on PlayStation and Steam, stars a jobless 35-year-old "privileged, white male" whose pride stops him from getting help. Game developer Bennett Foddy was watching a Greek myth unfold in front of him. A playtester for his latest project,, was struggling to navigate the game's lead--Nate, a 35-year-old "failson" in a stained onesie--up a slippery hill. Each time, the terrain proved to be too much, and Nate skidded uselessly down it. Foddy has a reputation for making onerous games that take a little bit of masochism to master.
