Baby Steps has one of the most meaningful choices I’ve ever encountered in a game

I’ve faced some hard choices in video games. Some of my decisions in Life is Strange still haunt me. Ghost of Tsushima’s final sequence prompted me to put my controller down for a good 10 minutes while I thought through my options. I am responsible for so many Krogan deaths in Mass Effect that I wish I could undo. None of those moments hold a candle for what now might be the hardest choice I’ve had to make in a video game — and it has to do with a giant staircase.
