Souls

This page may contain spoilers. Read at your own risk!

The souls are miscellaneous collectables in *The Baby In Yellow*. By freeing them, the player will be able to gain access to some secrets, mainly for comedic or cosmetic purposes.

## Description

There were originally a total of 6 souls. As of the Bedtime Stories update, 6 more have been added, making the total number of souls go up to 12.

All of the souls are simple and exactly the same in appearance. They take the form of an animal-like shape, presumably a cat, with its body all black. They don't have any facial features, however. They occasionally glow, possibly to make it easier for the player to locate them.

## Usage

The souls don't play a huge role in the game. Whether if they are freed or not depends on the player.

By collecting specific numbers of souls, the player will be able to gain access to locked game aesthetics, such as Big Head Mode or the Doctor's gift. Many of these secrets are purely for comedic purposes.

## Locations

The first 6 souls can be found scattered in the baby's home, while the later 6 require *Escape Mode* unlocked in order to collect them. They are not numbered in order. The order depends on how the player "frees" them.
