Baldis Basics

🎮 Game Overview

Disguised as a nostalgic 1990s educational game, Baldi’s Basics is a meta-horror experience set in a surreal, glitchy schoolhouse.

The player’s objective is to collect seven notebooks scattered throughout the school while avoiding Baldi and other quirky characters.

Each notebook contains simple math problems, but starting from the second notebook, an unsolvable problem appears, causing Baldi to become increasingly hostile.

The game features two primary modes:

  • Story Mode: Collect all seven notebooks and escape the schoolhouse.

  • Endless Mode: Attempt to collect as many notebooks as possible before being caught by Baldi.
