You (the Baby)

Everyone got picked up. Except you. Here's everything about the character you actually control.

Modifiers stack multiplicatively: carrying a big item ×0.87 (×0.76 if it's a toddler specifically), food below 20% ×0.82, fear above 80 ×0.92.

Carrying

You can hold exactly one "big" item in your hands — a fuel can, Mr. Wiggles, a teddy, or a toddler — plus six small items in your bag (selectable with 16). See Items and Controls.

Taking damage

Getting hurt sets a brief 1.2-second invulnerability window (so the same hit can't double-tick), adds camera shake proportional to the damage, and adds amount × 0.8 fear. Health reaching 0 while not already downed triggers going down.

Going down and dying

While hidden

Movement is disabled, your eye height and posture adjust to the hiding spot, noise generation stops entirely, and fear drops an extra 3/second. Full detail on Hiding.

Camera and view

Mouse look is standard FPS-style, sensitivity and invert-look adjustable in Settings. Getting hurt or otherwise shaken adds a screen-shake effect that decays at 1.8/second. Peeking while hidden offsets your eye 0.45 units toward the front of the hiding spot without actually leaving it.

Stats tracked for your end screen

Containers searched, messes cleaned, toddlers saved, drawings found, fuel poured, and repairs made all feed into the win/loss summary screen at the end of a run.
