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.
@@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
I really like the when Jack is slamming the baby’s head on the roof and he says “I thought your eyes went all evil for a second but it was the light” “It wasn’t”
2:44 - Jack's reaction to putting a baby into the oven himself is pure comedy gold 😂😂 he was absolutely shocked but also laughing cuz like, come on it's funny 😂😂
urban legend says if you burn a baby then your entire house mysteriously catches fire and it is said all escape routes are impossible and your death will fall upon u
Sean: "Let's put the baby in the oven!" *laughs* Sean: *puts said baby in the oven* Also Sean: *absolutely terrified by the fact that he actually put the baby in the oven*
That part only made me think of one game. So basically it’s dads vs babies. The babies try to die, and the dad needs to stop the babies from doing that. Forgot the name of it anyways. RTgame and Callmekevin did it one time if that helps. Fried a child in an oven. Edit: Thanks to the three folks below, it is called ‘Who’s your daddy?’
I can't watch it without laying on the ground laughing while my tummy hurt. Just the fact that the oven sound started right away once he put the baby inside
It's even funnier for me cause I first saw this game from Graystillplays, who specializes in this sort of stuff. Going from him actively finding this stuff and laughing to Jack's horror is hilarious in and of itself.

It literally took me until Carcosa was mentioned to realize that this was based on The King in Yellow. I originally thought this was just "unwitting babysitter stays at a house filled with dark magic and the baby is the epicenter."
@@guywhomakesjojoreferences3282 yep though it wasnt written by lovecraft HP loved the story so much he added it into his mythos and expanded upon it. creating the details about carcosa and hastur beyond the simple cursed story book the original story implied.
@@guywhomakesjojoreferences3282 Associated with Lovecraft yes. Lovecraft himself only mentioned Hastur once in a short story but was originally created by Ambrose Bierce and Lovecraft sort of expanded upon Hastur along with Robert Chambers and August Derleth. Fun fact August Derleth came up with the term Cthulhu Mythos.
I like how Jack is like “I’m never having kids,” but proceeds to be pretty decent at caring for the demon baby. Save for putting the baby in the oven and washing machine, he has the right attitude at certain points.
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.
The stages of Jack accepting parenthood is fucking hilarious. "Fucking devil child!!!" After throwing it in the oven 3 times. "You're not so bad, baby. You're alright."
I love how Sean's first instinct when going into a kitchen to get milk for a baby is to put the baby on top of (proving unsuccesful) and then into the oven (I'm not judging, it would've been the first thing I did too)
Jack: "BURN THE BABY, BURN THE CHILD. I'm kidding, I would never do that." Also Jack: Puts baby in the oven. Omg, thank you all for the likes! I expected to get about 1 like and I am past 1k.
Watching Jack not catch all the other terrifying things in the background is like watching an actual horror movie where the characters are ignorant to everything
Recording: *clearly mentions Hastur, a Lovecraftian deity* Jack: “Devil child.” Me: The devil would quake in terror at the beings of the Cthulhu mythos, which have NOTHING to do with abrahamic faiths.
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.)
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.
@@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. ^^
@@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.
@@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. ^^;
I was also surprised when I found out about the version called the "Bedtime Stories Update" which adds new activities, more souls that you'll need to collect to unlock new features (one of which includes a new container to unlock called "The Doctor's Gift" which must be unlocked in a similar manner to the demon baby's Toy Box), & there's a new attic area with a teaser for what is (I think) new content coming this year! 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! 😉
I love how on the first night Jack called the child a devil baby and then on the second night goes "Aw, you're so cute" when he finds the baby watching TV.
Jacksepticeye: "Burn the baby." "Fake laughter" "I'm joking, I'd never do that" Also Jacksepticeye: "Obviously you put the baby In the oven" *"OVEN TURNS ON"*
Today's fact: The reason the plural of Goose is Geese (same with tooth/teeth) but the plural of Moose is still Moose, is because the aforementioned comes from the Latin language while the latter comes from Native American languages, so it doesn’t follow the same rules as most other words.
I can agree with that one because I just watched my 7 year old cousin take a bite out of a pumice stone..... and my parents wonder why they won't have grandchildren
Haven't seen the whole video yet so dunno if it comes up, but I love how this game is just a more goofy version of the king in yellow. Its,I believe, 4 short stories about a play called the King in yellow. While no one knows what the play intails, people who witness it or become part of its creation on stage end up going mad and see a person drapped in a yellow cloak . It's often associated with lovecraft and eldritch horror.
We're probably all going to hell for laughing at Sean putting the baby in the oven, even though it's a devil baby and the oven exploding + his reaction was absolutely hilarious!
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).
@@wilmagregg3131 ooooooh so THAT is why i thought that the king in yellow was a Lovecraftian story...I was kinda surprised to see the op say it was written by this Robert, i always thought the king in yellow was invented by lovecraft
@@ProtoYoshi99some random bloke: Tchaikovsky cannon are not musical instruments Tchaikovsky: yes they are and I'm going to use 16 of them random bloke: Tchaikovsky no Tchaikovsky: Tchaikovsky yes TCHAIKOVSKY ALWAYS YES
The heavy implication of that baby in a yellow shirt with a crown is that the baby is either Hastur The King in Yellow from the Cthulhu Mythos or a reference to it. Either way, I love the game. I enjoyed the horror experience. It's very scary! I love playing this game! Well done to Team Terrible for developing The Baby In Yellow. I laughed so hard when the baby smiled after being put in the oven by Jack. Nice parenting, Jack!
for some reason the tape gave me the impression that the baby is hastur's child. that and the bedtime stories in the newly updated version (he must have had this saved or something cause it was updated a couple days ago) talk about a 'little prince' that has the same eyes as the baby and looks around 4 edit: i HAVE to stop commenting before i finish the video smh
They're even qouting the play. The "We spoke of Hastur and Cassilda" is from Yellow Sign "Night fell and the hours dragged on, but still we murmured to each other of the King and the Pallid Mask, and midnight sounded from the misty spires in the fog-wrapped city. We spoke of Hastur and of Cassilda, while outside the fog rolled against the blank window-panes as the cloud waves roll and break on the shores of Hali"
@@finn_in_the_bin5263 Oh, maybe it's The Child. According to In the Yellow Wiki, Cassilda, the Queen of Carcossa has a grandchild that is only reffered to as The Child and whose parentage is not really fully revealed. It could be Camilla's(if she's the daughther...since in some version she's the sister) and either Hastur's directly or her and one of the two princes but like in a Rosmemary's Baby situation, where there was a ritual involved. And the child is now demon baby.
There must be a different ending ... Instead of bringing the delivered sandwich maker back inside the apartment it looked like you could still follow the bunny cameos to escape .
The Baby in Yellow is supposed to be like the King in Yellow. That's why the piano song is called "The King's Lullaby" and there is a yellow king chess piece
*"You Put The Baby In The Oven."* I don't know why, but Jack's reaction when he realized he was actually cooking the child had me laughing so hard. I feel bad, but that child is the actual devil lol! 😂😂😂
One of the things the devs of this game really nailed is "show don't tell." They give you a basic task, but instead of just giving you some game hud element that tells you everything, they use actual thematic elements to do it instead.
If anyone is interested, The Baby in Yellow is based on the short story (written as a play) by Robert Chambers titled The King in Yellow. “for I knew that the King in Yellow had opened his tattered mantle and there was only God to cry to now.” ― Robert W. Chambers, The King in Yellow
When I got pregnant it became a running joke with all of my friends for them to take bets as to whether my kid was going to come out with little cloven hooves, horns and a tail. After she disappointed everyone by being born perfectly normal and adorable, everyone just started calling her my demon spawn. She's now 23 and still has that nickname. She loves it lol
@@alexusp haha ty its not my actual name its actually selena (named after the passed mexican singer) tho i mean no disrespect to selena or any other selenas i wanna change my name to octavia when im older lol
@@aerinina Selena is so pretty though. I’ve been going back and forth between names for my future kids.. Serena or Selena. Octavia is gorgeous but never forget that Selena is just as beautiful!! Do whatever makes you happy 🤍 just know you’re beautiful already
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.
I love how sean jokes about burning the baby and then gets mortified when the oven turns on and shoots the baby out like a canon. The face is absolutely priceless. (:O
I find it interesting that Sean is always talking about the elderitch truth in horror games and how he loves the cosmic horror shit, but this game which is clearly based off if H.P. Lovecraft stories, or more specifically Robert W. Chambers stories of the king in yellow, and Sean didn't mention it at all
"Burn the baby!" **puts baby in oven** **baby starts crying** It's always hilarious when a game makes you regret your decisions and makes you question your morality
“I’m gonna have to feed you, and clean you, and feed you, and clean you, this is the definition of hell…” Welcome to parenthood Jack, glad to have ya Edit: Ty for all the likes gamers :3
Why did it take me this entire episode (plus Mark's) to realize that the sheep in the story that the mother gets for her baby is you: the babysitter. The one who feeds, changes, and puts the baby to sleep across three separate nights, who the baby wants to stay with forever in a perpetual looping "dream". The 12 souls are previous people that didn't escape, followed by the soul depicted as a rabbit who did. You directly follow the rabbit's escape who then guides you to freedom.
Just so y'all know, this "demon child" isn't a demon, he's based off of an eldritch lovecraftian entity known as Hastur (the King In Yellow), which is why the baby has a Crown on his jumper. Also, at the end, he is levitating to Hastur's home planet Carcosa (P.S., Hastur and Cthulu are brothers)
All I can think of is the Cthulu dating game where the King is a woman and you date her, a female cthulu and then a giant sphynx goddess [and you creep her out so bad SHE has nightmares]
@@Crow_Smith Sucker for Love. It's very accurate to the real lovecraftian mythos, in regards to Cthulu (the female character is Ln'eta), Hastur (Estir) and Ny'anlethotep (Nyarlethotep)
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.
Some people might think Sean is a monster for putting the baby in the oven but his reaction when it exploded was so genuine it's even shook me to my core
10:37 That’s why I love Scotland, it’s country is full of mystery and fascination, and their way with words can get real deep that you can find yourself diving into the meaning behind their strong meaning
“Ha! Little TV-head baby” with a zoomed-in shot as he runs past. “Whee! …whee?” When he realizes he didn’t fall off the ledge. His 🫢 when he put it in the oven the first time. “Ahh!” and the white-out when the toastie blew up. Favorite moments.
I love Jacks intros getting more and more sinister and just better. He really puts a lot of effort into his intros and I love it always makes me laugh.
“Ohhh you guys are off doing something, the parents are part of it” yes sean… yes the parents are The reason you’re there, getting paid, to watch their child, so they are in fact, part of the plan to pay you to babysit lol

Maybe even 6.3
So dang true
Jack's reactions during this entire game sounds a lot like when a dog person owns a cat for the first time.
Truuee can confirm
The voiceover for the storybooks is f****** amazing.
Today's fact: The reason the plural of Goose is Geese (same with tooth/teeth) but the plural of Moose is still Moose, is because the aforementioned comes from the Latin language while the latter comes from Native American languages, so it doesn’t follow the same rules as most other words.
Interesting

It's obvious... Maybe cuz I am a goose idk
Jack: “Children are a gift!” Me: Listening to my brother scream his face off in the next room.
I can agree with that one because I just watched my 7 year old cousin take a bite out of a pumice stone..... and my parents wonder why they won't have grandchildren
Yeeeaahhh sometimes I kinda wish that gift came with a receipt. Then I immediately feel bad about it. Lol

Haven't seen the whole video yet so dunno if it comes up, but I love how this game is just a more goofy version of the king in yellow. Its,I believe, 4 short stories about a play called the King in yellow. While no one knows what the play intails, people who witness it or become part of its creation on stage end up going mad and see a person drapped in a yellow cloak . It's often associated with lovecraft and eldritch horror.
I love lovecraft so I'll be definitely reading The king in yellow, thanks!
I see Hastur has been experimenting with new mediums lately, good for him
We're probably all going to hell for laughing at Sean putting the baby in the oven, even though it's a devil baby and the oven exploding + his reaction was absolutely hilarious!
i think god can understand a joke considering child sacrifice is a reoccuring theme in the bible
True.

Since I see you like this type of video will you like to give our channel a try?
@@finn1666 wait *WHAT*
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).
and it was so good that lovecraft would include it into his mythos as a canon element With Hastur being one of the outer gods if i remeber correctly.
Oh goodie, first thing I thought of while reading that was Sucker for Love-
@@terrizoop3739 same!
@@wilmagregg3131 ooooooh so THAT is why i thought that the king in yellow was a Lovecraftian story...I was kinda surprised to see the op say it was written by this Robert, i always thought the king in yellow was invented by lovecraft

The heavy implication of that baby in a yellow shirt with a crown is that the baby is either Hastur The King in Yellow from the Cthulhu Mythos or a reference to it. Either way, I love the game. I enjoyed the horror experience. It's very scary! I love playing this game! Well done to Team Terrible for developing The Baby In Yellow. I laughed so hard when the baby smiled after being put in the oven by Jack. Nice parenting, Jack!
for some reason the tape gave me the impression that the baby is hastur's child. that and the bedtime stories in the newly updated version (he must have had this saved or something cause it was updated a couple days ago) talk about a 'little prince' that has the same eyes as the baby and looks around 4
edit: i HAVE to stop commenting before i finish the video smh
it is Hastur
Light of carcosa shines brigth, brother
They're even qouting the play. The "We spoke of Hastur and Cassilda" is from Yellow Sign "Night fell and the hours dragged on, but still we murmured to each other of the King and the Pallid Mask, and midnight sounded from the misty spires in the fog-wrapped city. We spoke of Hastur and of Cassilda, while outside the fog rolled against the blank window-panes as the cloud waves roll and break on the shores of Hali"
@@finn_in_the_bin5263 Oh, maybe it's The Child. According to In the Yellow Wiki, Cassilda, the Queen of Carcossa has a grandchild that is only reffered to as The Child and whose parentage is not really fully revealed. It could be Camilla's(if she's the daughther...since in some version she's the sister) and either Hastur's directly or her and one of the two princes but like in a Rosmemary's Baby situation, where there was a ritual involved. And the child is now demon baby.
There must be a different ending ...
Instead of bringing the delivered sandwich maker back inside the apartment it looked like you could still follow the bunny cameos to escape .

as an older sibling of 6 children, it's normal
The black cat "spoiler" was so well done. Massive props to the dev/devs, never seen something like that stuffed away so artistically
Jack: Drops baby through vent "Stupid ass baby!"
10 seconds later
...Jack: "I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it. It was, it was just for a joke..."
Sean’s face after he blew up the baby got me wheezing!
The Baby in Yellow is supposed to be like the King in Yellow. That's why the piano song is called "The King's Lullaby" and there is a yellow king chess piece
*"You Put The Baby In The Oven."*
I don't know why, but Jack's reaction when he realized he was actually cooking the child had me laughing so hard. I feel bad, but that child is the actual devil lol! 😂😂😂
@Toto B Hahaha!! I love it when that happens, it kind of echos in your hear while it’s happening lol! 😂😂😂
One of the things the devs of this game really nailed is "show don't tell." They give you a basic task, but instead of just giving you some game hud element that tells you everything, they use actual thematic elements to do it instead.

jack: your not so bad baby!
baby: are you sure about that?
jack: *beatboxes*
31:32 Jack: Goodbye baby!
Baby: _Sits up_
If anyone is interested, The Baby in Yellow is based on the short story (written as a play) by Robert Chambers titled The King in Yellow.
“for I knew that the King in Yellow had opened his tattered mantle and there was only God to cry to now.”
― Robert W. Chambers, The King in Yellow
I have that story. It’s really good
When I got pregnant it became a running joke with all of my friends for them to take bets as to whether my kid was going to come out with little cloven hooves, horns and a tail. After she disappointed everyone by being born perfectly normal and adorable, everyone just started calling her my demon spawn. She's now 23 and still has that nickname. She loves it lol
I love that lol my mom always calls me Lucy.. short for Lucifer. My real name? Alexus. But it’s always been Lucy Lou because of my mom 😂

Baby: disappears
Jack: *CHECKS THE TOILET*
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.
I love how sean jokes about burning the baby and then gets mortified when the oven turns on and shoots the baby out like a canon. The face is absolutely priceless. (:O

i love how Sean can make everything meaning full and encouraging but scary at the same freaking time
I find it interesting that Sean is always talking about the elderitch truth in horror games and how he loves the cosmic horror shit, but this game which is clearly based off if H.P. Lovecraft stories, or more specifically Robert W. Chambers stories of the king in yellow, and Sean didn't mention it at all
Jack: feels awful for putting a baby in the oven
Also Jack: laughs at the baby in the washing machine
"Burn the baby!"
**puts baby in oven**
**baby starts crying**
It's always hilarious when a game makes you regret your decisions and makes you question your morality
Lol, when I played this game, there was absolutely no regret when I burn that baby to a crisp
The baby didn't cry, it laughed.
@@thorwilhelms9635
"The baby was on fire, did you not hear it screaming?"
"Well, it made some sort of sound-"

'regret?'
The baby getting yeeted around to 1812 Overture was brilliant.

"Scottish people are terrifying" is my new favorite quote
Why did it take me this entire episode (plus Mark's) to realize that the sheep in the story that the mother gets for her baby is you: the babysitter. The one who feeds, changes, and puts the baby to sleep across three separate nights, who the baby wants to stay with forever in a perpetual looping "dream". The 12 souls are previous people that didn't escape, followed by the soul depicted as a rabbit who did. You directly follow the rabbit's escape who then guides you to freedom.
Jack: children are a gift
Also jack: *puts baby in oven*
Jack later on: I'm going to kick you into that vent!
He also put the baby in the washing machine😂
He liked the oven tho
jack : "children are a gift !!"
also jack : *burns the gift in the oven*
The black cat will become a new character in the update, the white rabbit is the guy who helps you escape the baby, the player is the sheep
Sean: His voice is better.
Us, All Simps: WRONG.
The fact that he saw his eyes turn within 5 minutes but thought it was just the light was priceless
Agreed 👍
That was chilling! 😆
Just so y'all know, this "demon child" isn't a demon, he's based off of an eldritch lovecraftian entity known as Hastur (the King In Yellow), which is why the baby has a Crown on his jumper. Also, at the end, he is levitating to Hastur's home planet Carcosa
(P.S., Hastur and Cthulu are brothers)
All I can think of is the Cthulu dating game where the King is a woman and you date her, a female cthulu and then a giant sphynx goddess [and you creep her out so bad SHE has nightmares]
@@Crow_Smith Sucker for Love. It's very accurate to the real lovecraftian mythos, in regards to Cthulu (the female character is Ln'eta), Hastur (Estir) and Ny'anlethotep (Nyarlethotep)

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.
hastur is actually the babys cannon name

10:37 That’s why I love Scotland, it’s country is full of mystery and fascination, and their way with words can get real deep that you can find yourself diving into the meaning behind their strong meaning
Finally, a story that steps into cosmic horror and cosmic comedy at the same time.
"babies can't be evil, their soul hasn't had time to be corrupted." Bold of you to assume that's the babies soul in that body
