Description

You've got a new babysitting job, and things are taking a turn for the weird. Feed him, read him a bedtime story, and try not to fall into his dreams. How long can you stay in control?

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.
