Baldi’s Basics

SCHOOL SCARE IN BALDI’S BASICS

Baldi’s Basics is an indie horror game that brilliantly warps the aesthetic of 1990s educational software into a pulse-pounding nightmare! You play as a student trapped inside a school, forced to solve math problems and gather items while evading the ever-pursuing, creepy teacher, Baldi. With its intentionally simple graphics and unnerving sound design, this game delivers surprises around every locker-lined corner. What begins as a typical school day rapidly descends into a frantic chase for survival!

GAMEPLAY: ESCAPE THE CLASSROOM MAYHEM

Baldi’s Basics throws you directly into a creepy schoolhouse with one primary goal: locate and collect SEVEN notebooks scattered throughout the classrooms. Here’s the catch—each notebook is filled with deceptively tricky math problems. Get an answer wrong, and with every error, Baldi himself gets faster and more determined to find you!

You’ll need to explore the hallways, find useful items, and solve environmental puzzles to stay ahead. The school is also home to other bizarre characters who will obstruct your progress, such as the strict Principal, the hallway-blocking Bully, and Playtime with her relentless jump rope. You must outsmart them all if you hope to make it out alive!

Controls

The control scheme in Baldi’s Basics is straightforward, similar to many first-person adventure games. You navigate the world using simple inputs:

• Use the WASD keys to move forward, backward, and strafe.
• Look around freely by moving your mouse.
• Press and hold the shift key to run for a limited time.
• Left-click to collect objects and interact with doors and items.
