Embark on a surreal and mind-bending journey through the halls of Baldi's Basics Classic, a meta horror game that defies conventional gaming tropes and taps into the nostalgia of creepy, educational-themed games from the 90s. Prepare yourself for a bizarre and unforgettable experience where the line between learning and terror blurs into an unsettling reality.
Baldi's Basics Classic invites players into a twisted world where collecting notebooks and escaping from a haunted school is the ultimate goal. However, this is no ordinary educational adventure. In fact, there's hardly any educational value to be found here, making the game's title a mischievous nod to its unconventional nature.
The gameplay is deceptively simple: navigate the labyrinthine corridors of Baldi's school, gather seven notebooks scattered throughout the premises, and make a dash for the exit before it's too late. But achieving this goal is far from straightforward. Baldi, the school's enigmatic and sinister janitor, is hot on your heels, determined to thwart your escape at every turn.
To succeed, you must master the art of stealth and strategy. Learn to manipulate Baldi's friends – a colorful cast of bizarre characters with their own unique quirks and abilities – to distract the relentless janitor and buy yourself some precious time. Wisely manage the items you find throughout the school, as they may hold the key to your survival. And above all, memorize the layout of the school like the back of your hand, as every corner could hold the answer to your escape or lead you straight into Baldi's grasp.
Baldi's Basics Classic offers two distinct modes of play to suit your preferences and challenge your skills. In Story Mode, you'll embark on a thrilling quest to collect all seven notebooks and escape the school before Baldi catches up. As you progress, Baldi's speed will increase, making each step of your journey more perilous and demanding.
For those seeking an endless challenge, Endless Mode awaits. In this mode, your goal is to collect as many notebooks as possible before Baldi finally catches up to you. The longer you manage to evade Baldi, the more notebooks you'll accumulate, and the slower he'll become. But beware, as Baldi will gradually accelerate over time, testing your reflexes and strategic thinking to their limits.
Experience the official port of Baldi's Basics Classic, now optimized for touch screen controls and controller support. Customize your gameplay experience by adjusting the settings in the options menu to suit your preferences. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or a newcomer to the world of horror, Baldi's Basics Classic promises a thrilling and unforgettable adventure that will leave you questioning what you thought you knew about educational games.
