ABOUT THE GAME

Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning is a 2018 survival horror video game developed and published by Micah McGonigal. Parodying 1990s educational games, it was made for the Meta Game Jam in 2018. The player is tasked with collecting seven notebooks and escaping a school while avoiding being caught by the school's titular teacher, Baldi. The player may use various items to impede Baldi or other characters. Baldi's Basics was well received by video game journalists, who praised the gameplay, presentation and satire of the educational video game genre, but criticized its difficulty. It became popular on YouTube through Let's Plays, inspiring many fan-made modifications, animations and song adaptations. It expanded upon in the form of successor, Baldi's Basics Plus following a successful Kickstarter campaign, and its release via early access in 2020. A remaster, Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered was released in 2022.
