* CompetitiveBalance: The baby can get into many places and things that the father cannot reach, but they are very slow and can't jump very high. The father can take away any object the baby is holding and take preventive measures to prevent the baby from hurting itself, but the items that help the father are in a random location each round and trying to move certain objects to hinder the baby's progress is difficult due to wonky physics.

A subversion is when the work tries to trick you into thinking the trope will occur, but it doesn\'t. An aversion is when the trope simply does not occur. Also, it\'s possible that this trope has no reason to be mentioned in this case.

A little humorless for the kind of game this is...


Yes, this is real.

The house is definitely not babyproofed. Bleach, Windex, batteries, forks, hammers and more are lying around. It's possible for the baby to open the oven, turn it on, then climb inside and bake to death. Or stick a fork in an electrical socket. Or use a hammer to shatter a glass table, then eat the shards of glass.
