Nudity warning and toggle
When you start Baby Steps for the first time, the game displays a content note that specifically mentions nudity and offers a toggle to turn it off. This choice appears before gameplay begins, so players can decide whether to play with or without the visuals enabled.
In-game scenes featuring nudity
The opening sections include an encounter where the protagonist, Nate, wakes from sleep at a campfire to find a humanoid donkey character sitting nearby without clothing. That scene shows full-frontal male nudity at close range. Later encounters with similar characters also include comparable depictions.
Frequency and context
Multiple non-player characters described as donkey men appear across the world, and several of them are depicted without clothing. Additionally, some of these characters request assistance related to the game’s objectives, so the nudity is not limited to background visuals but appears in interactive moments as well.
Theme and narrative
Beyond the visual content, Baby Steps frames those scenes within a narrative about masculinity and body image. The game follows Nate on a journey that includes confronting insecurities tied to his sense of self and his body. Therefore, the presence of male nudity is presented as part of the story rather than only as a gag or incidental detail.
Developer, publisher and platforms
Baby Steps was developed by the studio that created Ape Out and is published by Devolver Digital. The release targets PlayStation 5 and Windows PC. The publisher has previously released other adult-leaning indie titles.
Streaming and parental considerations
Because the game includes prominent male nudity, streamers and parents may want to use the startup toggle. Streamers should note the content appears in visible, interactive scenes; parents may prefer to enable the toggle to prevent unexpected exposure for younger viewers. The startup option provides a direct way to control that setting before gameplay begins.
