WORLD'S SCARIEST BABY | The Baby In Yellow

[@karlrassmann4604]

For those who don't know, the baby in this game is based on the being known as Hastur from the Lovecraft universe. Hastur is known as the King in Yellow and is associated with the arts, such as storytelling. It drives artists mad and uses them to disseminate it's symbol, the Yellow Sign, which further enslaves people to its will. Hastur is also associated with a planet called Carcosa, which was once home to a powerful and prosperous civilization until Hastur came and drove it to ruin.

Glad to see somebody mention this! As a random person on the internet, thanks for taking the time to write this out.

[@BlackViolet96]

This makes me want to get into the Lovecraft universe, but I have no idea where to start.

[@karlrassmann4604]

@@BlackViolet96 One of the fun things about Lovecraft lore is that there really is no canon. Sure, H.P. Lovecraft was the original source, but a significant portion of the universe came from fanon and zines after his death. So I wouldn't be too concerned about an entry point, just find a form of media you enjoy! :D

This is definitely how that babysitter looking after jackjack from the incredibles felt like

[@sleepynibi]

Literally!!!! I think this every time I watch it!

[@TricksterNevermore]

Yeah, the difference is _really_ interesting between the first and second versions. The first just felt like a typical "possessed baby" story with mild Lovecraftian elements to it, _especially_ with the whole head spinning around thing on the original night 3, whereas the storybook update leans _much_ more heavily into the esoteric King in Yellow theme they were going for. Honestly really glad I got to play the update first, it scratches that Lovecraft itch for me. (BTW, there 6 more souls to save in the updated Escape route, if you wanna get some more secrets to play with. Although I think that's _another_ update on top of the one that changed the house and added storybooks, since it still says 6/6 at the end there.)

[@Serrifin]

The king in yellow is great, but I was surprised that, for a book everyone references as an amazing horror novel, it actually was a collection of works that has a lot of non-horror stories and poems.

[@TricksterNevermore]

@@Serrifin Right? Which I personally think speaks to how effective the framing of it truly is. Technically speaking, the actual _subject_ of the King in Yellow does not exist. The play isn't real. Whatever entity the King in Yellow actually _is_ is never really mentioned. _And yet,_ anyone who is even passingly familiar with Lovecraft-esque horror knows the name, and has _some_ mental image of what the King is like. Which is, to my understanding, _the very point of the actual collection of works._ It's quite intriguing. ^^

[@Serrifin]

@@TricksterNevermore I thought the play is real, as in it was printed and physically exists as characters read it with varying effects, sometimes nothing. I thought the point of the book was that, since the narrators are all pretty unreliable, so you don’t know if the play does actually does anything at all.

[@TricksterNevermore]

@@Serrifin Oh no, I meant that the play doesn't "exist" in _our_ reality. It of course exists within the context of the stories themselves, it's just that there's no _actual_ play called "The King in Yellow" that _we_ could have a stage production of. ^^;

[@DismemberedHat]

You can be great at taking care of kids but not want any of your own. There are plenty of reasons people decide they don't want children, and "I wouldn't be a good parent" is only one of MANY reasons. Some people have genetic illnesses they don't want to pass on, some people can't handle the financial, mental, and physical strain of having children, some people want to end a period of intergenerational trauma, some people don't want to bring a new life into an already overpopulated planet, etc.

Fun fact: the game was based on The King in Yellow, which is a collection of short stories written by Robert W. Chambers and published in 1895. The first four stories mention a forbidden play (The King in Yellow) which induces despair or madness in those who read it, a mysterious and malevolent supernatural entity also called The King in Yellow (or Hastur), and an eerie symbol called the Yellow Sign (used to get people under the control of the King in Yellow).

The apartment has also received a makeover so the interior looks more like a house instead of an apartment. Reminder for newbies: Make sure you collect all 6 trapped souls in the demon baby's apartment BEFORE you try to find the 6 new trapped souls on the Escape AKA the "White Rabbit" route! The events of the original 3 nights have also changed enough so that they're worth replaying again even if you've already seen how the 3 nights played out beforehand! I also highly recommend that people try flushing the demon baby down the toilet. It's tricky to place him on it after putting the lid up, but it can be done! 😉

The second I saw Jack’s reaction on the baby floating, I knew he would truly be terrified on yet to come throughout the remainder of the game. Also I am glad he is playing it since this was one of the most anticipated ones for us waiting for him to play.

Jack's so sweet with the baby, he makes sure that the baby is clean and warm by shoving it in to the oven and washing machine 😁

You can be the cat and naively bring him where he needs to go, or you can be a mindless sheep following him to your death, OR you can take the path of the rabbit and you can escape. I like that a lot :).

[@muzzle8760]

AAAAAA I JUST REALIZED! the title of the game, and the way the title screen if shaped, - "Act 1, Scene 2", - is based on the story of "The King in Yellow", a play which drives whoever reads it insane, written about by Robert W. Chambers in his short story collection under the same name. Lovecraftian horror before Lovecraft even began to write, - The Kind in Yellow came out when H. P. Lovecraft was 5 years old, and it's very possible that Lovecraft was inspired by some of the things written in The Kind in Yellow. Just thought I'd share, The King in Yellow is one of my favourite short story collections.

The fact that he saw his eyes turn within 5 minutes but thought it was just the light was priceless

The baby is clearly either the child of Hastur The King in Yellow, or heavily inspired by Hastur from the Cthulhu Mythos just in case you were unaware.

[@primatelover99]

hastur is actually the babys cannon name

They mention Hastur in this game, he is known as the king in yellow. The baby is also referred to as a prince, and obviously the baby in yellow, if you play the updated mobile game. Hastur is a prominent entity in the Cthulhu Mythos, being his half brother. Hastur's kingdom is known as Carcosa, which is also referenced, and Hastur himself is heavily connected to entropy itself. We're babysitting the child of an unspeakable lovecraftian horror, who was fathered by a being of pure entropy. No wonder the baby is evil.

Depending on the age, babysitting is usually pretty easy. Anyone that can afford babysitting is usually the kind of person who cares about how well behaved their kids are. But if they are bad, don’t be scared to tell the parents you’re no longer interested. Your happiness should be balanced with your job, not lesser than your job.
