The Baby In Yellow

A babysitting simulation with a horror twist

The Baby In Yellow puts you in charge of a child during an increasingly unsettling babysitting job. You begin by following ordinary instructions, but the situation soon introduces strange events, puzzles and sudden scares. It suits players who like short story-driven games that mix simple tasks with unsettling surprises.

What you do in the game

The game is arranged across 11 chapters, giving the babysitting scenario a clear sequence of tasks and discoveries. Progress depends on completing instructions and solving puzzles rather than managing complex systems. The baby can also be picked up using ragdoll-style physics, which adds an intentionally unpredictable element to otherwise familiar interactions.

Secrets and replay value

Hidden collectibles give you reasons to look beyond the main route. Finding them can unlock secrets, including Big Head Mode. The game also uses jump scares, so it is better suited to players comfortable with sudden horror moments than to anyone looking for a calm childcare simulation.
