Post jam version. Finally had the excuse to use Zac Efron memes at 7:26. Babysitting demons is great training for real parenthood. I love how the game scared me but also made me laugh. MOSTLY IT WAS THE RAGDOLL MECHANIC
Click the "Download" button above for the version you want. The .zip file should be in your downloads folder after downloading via Chrome or Internet Explorer. You can access this folder from the explorer quick access list or going to C:\Users\[YourUserName]\Downloads.
That was an interesting game there, although I can say that this game is 100% accurate. Being a parent of a 3yr old myself I can say that all these things happen atleast one time whilst raising a kid.
If you'd like to see how I handled the baby you can check out my video below, thank you for making this game! It was really fun to play! :)
Download one of the listed downloads above and move the file to your desktop, from there right click the file and click the button "Extract Here". After it completes extracting you should see a folder appear on the desktop, open the folder and double click "GMTK2020" and the game should launch from there. Let me know if you need more help or if it works then enjoy the game! ^^
I had a lot of fun playing this and you have really made the baby quite creepy, I loved it! It was cool that you knew something was going to happen but you couldn't tell what the game was going to throw at you!!
What a fun experience. Love the baby physics and the sudden teleportation and tone shifts were great. Only thing I would change is the addition of music, but I saw you've already commented on that. I'll keep an eye out from more from you in the future! I made a video for my channel:
the physics are broken, i got rid of the Baby in chapter 1.
you just need to squash it between the fridge doors and the wall, and it will be gone forever.
Also its random teleportation is quite hilarious if you make sure to do the Jobs in a different order. so you can always take the baby with you. Making its random teleportation more Hilarious than creepy/scary.
Well spotted and thanks for playing! We've made the order of objectives a lot more strict in the update we're working on to try and combat some of the flow issues. But ultimately this is a physics based game jam game so it'll never be bug free :D (P.S. you can press R to restart the chapter in the baby bugs out)
The game was a lot of fun! I ended up swinging the baby around like a monster playing baseball more often than not, though. I think it would've been a bit spookier if it had some music or a few more sound effects, but it's impressive considering the time restraints / difficulties you encountered while making it, so overall, good job. Keep up the good work~!
A friend is having trouble after putting the baby to bed, as it freezes on 'give bottle to baby' in much larger letters in the top left of the screen. We've re-downloaded several times to no avail. Tips?
Is there any programs running alongside it? Sometimes other apps can cause problems with games, even apps like discord could be the reason. (I know it sounds weird but its true XD) I would restart your pc and try to run the game without anything else running, if that fixes the issue then you could play the game then or if you are aiming to record the game you can try to find the problem app and just close that one.
I can't seem to get past chapter one. Every time I play it, I can finish the first part and then it just freezes on a screen saying 'Give bottle to baby.' By the way, I have Oculus + SteamVR, which automatically seems to launch every time i open the game. I've tried to launch it after deleting the the OpenVR and Oculus files, but then it pops up with a screen saying 'Fatal erorr!' Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this, I'm new to bug reporting and wasn't sure where to exactly put it.
This was very creepy however I feel it could've benefited from more nuanced creepyness. Like the baby moving more by itself when you go to fetch things. The facial expressions were horrifying and the baby physics were the best part; absolutely terrifying.
So that was fun. When i got done throwing it around for 5 minutes. I doupt their gonna hire me again. The needs some horror melody i couldn't feel the horror. I was busy taking it too unserious. I like the texture tho and the mechanic, nice work on that. But i wouldn't call it Horror in that category. But it was fun, i had good time enjoying playing it even if it was a short run.
Thanks for playing! Unfortunately we didn't get time to put all the horror aspects we wanted in during the 48h jam. But we're working on an update that makes chapter 3 a lot more scary (including music)
This is the calmest baby I've ever met. Maybe having your charge be possessed by the King in Yellow isn't all that bad.
On a more serious note, this is an interesting mix of horror and comedy. It's not something you see too often in games, and when you do the comedy tends to be a bit heavy-handed. I feel it was handled well here.
Loved playing this! Brilliant! Nice short horror game and Feels like you could keep adding chapters. What's behind the middle locked door and in the locked door in the parents room! wink wink :) Got a blast out off the baby too!
Great little game. I didn't read the description (sry) so in my video I'm "Dad" not babysitter. I added some music and I think it really enhanced the gameplay. I'd love to see a chapter 2!

I don't believe so, unfortunately. I'm sorry. :/
No, but I could make one! I'll look into it this week 😊
can i download without zip
No, unfortunately not. But on windows you can right click the zip file and hit "extract all"
ok thanks
the game is not scary its hilarious the face when hes angry made me laugh and its quite bad
i also have some little ideas you could add to the game:
1-a bigger house
2-more things to explore
3-diferent endings
4-more interaction with the baby and outher things
5-more scary things
6-music
7-baby status maybe?
8-the baby can make sounds
9-the baby could have animations when you give the bottle and etc
10-the baby can blink
i also have better idea.
why windows deleting game
thats not an idea

A few more softlock bugs are when certain doors cannot be opened. If you get outside the door before the objective it's a softlock
------------
1 bug I like to request you guys Keep in the game is at the very end. If you go up without the baby
it phases trough the wall.
If you guys Keep it in it would be a good and fun jumpscare for unsuspecting players
I believe these should be fixed in the latest version, let me know if they're not!
And the pre-end cutscene should still trigger regardless of whether or not you're holding the baby 😁

It was a fun game but I think it would be better if you added in some extra sounds to make the atmosphere a bit creepy
Amazing game!! Enjoyed it :)
Here's the gameplay ;)
I had so much fun with this. I am interested to see if there will be more.
