What Is The Baby In Yellow?
A routine babysitting job turns strange when the child refuses to stay where he is placed and the house begins obeying rules that have nothing to do with childcare. Feeding, changing, and bedtime become steps in a Lovecraftian comedy-horror story.
How to Play The Baby In Yellow
Carry the baby and household objects, complete the listed duties, and solve environmental puzzles as rooms and objectives change. Physics-based interactions make simple tasks unpredictable even before the supernatural events begin.
