Baldis Basics

Welcome to school. You can’t name this quest otherwise. You are back in an educational institution. And like any other school, you have one goal – to teach you something. It works well when you walk on the edge of a knife and hide.

Baldis Basics invites you on your adventures. You have a flashlight with which you can at least see something. Without a source of illumination, the school plunges into almost impenetrable darkness. Also, with the help of a flashlight, the points where you can take or read something will be highlighted. It is possible to play and learn together.

Run before you get caught

The main mechanics that we will have to use is to hide from the enemy, since we cannot fight back. For this, cabinets located in classrooms and toilet cubicles are suitable, there is also a security room that the enemy cannot enter. If suddenly Baldi drove into a dead end and there is no place to hide nearby – the only option is to break away from the enemy as far as possible. For example, running away to another floor, or solving another puzzle.

Then he will not detect you, but you need to be careful with this. That’s essentially the whole mechanics, you go around the school, play logical tasks, read notes, collect items, run away from your pursuer and smoothly follow the plot and clues. Baldi’s Basics in Education and Learning is filled with all sorts of tasks. Some of them will seem like a joke, but not everything is so simple. And some will take a long time to think about. The game becomes a test of strength. Both knowledge and patience.

Hidden pitfalls and how to deal with them

The difficulty also lies in the fact that not all doors can be entered, not all of them are open, and not all cabinets and booths can be hidden. And when a character runs after you, who wants to know what he wants – in a panic you start to run away from him and poke into closed doors. It at least adds adrenaline, and it also wastes precious seconds. Because when you try to open any door, the character will stop and stop looking for those most treasured notebooks.

The rest of the time the game looks quite normal and quite simple. But at the same time, it is harmonious, pleasing to the eye 2d, good drawing and detailing, the color scheme is matched to the theme, there are no stunning colors and shades that would distract attention. The musical accompaniment and sound effects of Baldis Basics are very well chosen. The music pumps up by itself, at dangerous moments it starts to pump up and press more, and during a calm passage through the corridors, something neutral sounds, but at the same time it still keeps you in suspense.
