In this game, the baby crawls left toward danger. You click the button to move him back to the right, and if he reaches the fire, you fail.
The Narrator, explaining the baby game to the player
The Baby is a character known for being the central focus of the Baby Game. It is a realistic Shutterstock image of a smiling baby in a diaper facing the left, attached to and held up by a shoddily built wood skeleton. The Baby is a boy, as stated by the Narrator when Stanley is introduced to the rules of the Baby Game.[1]
The Narrator wants the player to playtest a game he has been working on,[2] where the goal is to keep the Baby from crawling towards the left side of the room, where fire awaits him, by pressing a red button in the center of the room for four hours. Being successful in the given objective transports the player to the Art Ending, while failure brings the player further through the Games Ending.
In The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe[]
The Grown-Up Baby, as seen on one of the screens from the Sequel Ending.
In the Sequel Ending, one of the screens for The Stanley Parable 2 displays a different version of the Baby Game, the Baby is now wearing a white dress shirt with a black tie and trousers as opposed to its usual diaper while still having the baby head, the text to the left of it claiming that the baby is all grown up. It is headed towards bankruptcy, an off-shot of the losing fire from the initial baby game.
In the Bucket Destroyer Ending, the Baby makes an appearance alongside Stanley's other "friends" to tell him that he spends too much time with the The Stanley Parable Reassurance Bucket.
The Baby can randomly be seen crawling from the right side of the screen towards the left after a few seconds in any sequel title screen aside from these ones.
