Baby Blues Nightmare

This game may possibly need a trigger warning. It has a fair amount of domestic violence portrayals

Baby Blues Nightmare wasn’t a game I was super excited about going in. I picked it up as part of a horror game bundle, and honestly? It sat in my library for a while before I finally gave it a shot. And I have to say—the Steam store page does not do this game justice.

Because I actually really loved this one.

It has strong Poppy Playtime–style vibes, which already puts it in a category I enjoy a lot. You play as a child experiencing the world through distorted, nightmarish interpretations, and that perspective works incredibly well for the kind of horror this game is going for.

The visuals were great, the gameplay felt solid, and the puzzles hit that perfect balance—not frustratingly hard, but still engaging enough to make you feel accomplished when you solve them. Nothing pulled me out of the experience, and everything flowed nicely.

Overall, this was a really fun surprise. If you’re looking for a solid horror game to pass the time—especially one with a stylized, childlike nightmare aesthetic—I’d absolutely recommend Baby Blues Nightmare. I had a great time with it, and I think a lot of people will too. 👶👀
