Babysitters often have to deal with unruly children, but this one might be your last... how long will you stay in control?

About the Game
Go to Steam Page

The Baby In Yellow is a Lovecraftian comedy horror game where you must look after a suspicious baby and survive his attempts to take control.

Over the course of 11 chapters this creepy bundle of madness must be well-fed, clean and most importantly, kept entertained.

Handle with care

This may not be your first babysitting job, but it could be your last. So listen to that whisper in your head, the one that tells you to obey, and everything will be fine.

Your babysitting duties
  • Feed the baby
  • Clean his diaper
  • Never put him in the oven
  • Read him a bedtime story
  • Make a cheese toastie
  • Put him to sleep
  • D̵̲̉ọ̴̭̿n̵̺̓͜'̸̛̹̣͌t̸͉̋̂ ̵̘͗̂l̸͉̆e̸̛̜͕ḁ̷͈͛v̷̳̎e̵̫͂

Hastur doesn't always appreciate an early bedtime

Featuring
  • An "adorable" ragdoll baby (or so the whispers tell us)
  • A mysterious story across 3 acts to untangle
  • Tricksy puzzles to lose your sanity over
  • Harmless, stable, entirely predictable environments
  • Intense chase sequences
  • Trapped souls to find and free - unlocking cheats like Big Head Mode
  • Chances to get your soul consumed

He never sleeps.
