Baldi's Basics

Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning is an indie horror game released in 2018. It was developed by Micah McGonigal, also known as "mystman12", as a parody of both the educational games of the 90s and the typical horror genre.

How to play Baldi's Basics?

In Baldi's Basics, players assume the role of a student in a schoolhouse. The objective is to collect seven notebooks scattered throughout the school, each containing a series of math problems. The game starts off easy, but quickly ramps up in difficulty as the math problems become increasingly difficult to solve.

The school's teacher, Baldi, is friendly at first. However, when the player starts answering questions incorrectly, Baldi becomes more and more frustrated..

The game's environment is a surreal mix of simplistic 3D graphics and intentionally poor design elements, contributing to an overall feeling of unease. The player needs to avoid other characters in the schoolhouse while trying to collect the notebooks, adding another layer of challenge to the game.

The unique blend of education and horror, along with its distinctive visual style, has made Baldi's Basics a popular game among players and streamers alike. Despite its simple graphics and gameplay, it offers a uniquely unsettling gaming experience.
