The Baby In The Bean
"The Baby in the Benz" is a surreal adventure game that takes place on Millennium Park, where players must explore and solve puzzles while surviving against an apocalyptic creature. The story follows two rival artists who are fighting over control of their respective artworks -- one using metal-eating plants to create towering structures out of legumes like those found at Lincoln Center Out Of State Plaza (Northsider) or the Great Lawn area, Chicago's famous green space for outdoor performances and events such as music festivals. Players must navigate this urban environment by creating different types of people with their own agendas -- from Teenagers on Lunch Breaks to Office Workers taking a break out in Northside. The game offers an immersive world full of art installations that will transport players into the surreal landscape, where they can solve puzzles and overcome obstacles using various objects like mirrors or metal staplers as tools for survival against Stuart Semple's destructive force unleashed from his sculpture-shaped arm emerging above ground level on Millennium Park. The game also includes a 68 page booklet of illustrations by Ash Barton with alternative plot "Cloud Castle" based around the legendary sci-fi writer Frank Herbert, and an optional dedicated system grid map as well as 30 minutes of designer commentary for each location mentioned in this description that are not
