Baldi's Basics™ (Title pending) is an upcoming survival horror roguelite that parodies cheap 90's edutainment and never takes itself too seriously.

Mixing strategy with chaos, Baldi's Basics plays like no other game, with constant surprises often throwing players' plans for a loop. Strategizing is key, but knowing how to best revise those strategies as situations change is even more important! As player's learn the ins-and-outs of every character, item, event, and more, they'll be able to make better plans, come up with the best strategies, and escape the most dangerous situations! |
Two Core Releases

Baldi's Basics (Title pending)
This is the full version of the game, which is still in development. Building off the core ideas of the original game, this version will seem very similar at first glance, but it actually has a lot more going on. Baldi's Basics (Title pending) is a survival horror roguelite that parodies cheap 90's edutainment and never takes itself too seriously. To beat the game, players will have to complete a series of increasingly challenging randomly generated levels. They'll be chased by Baldi, find a variety of items, encounter many strange characters, experience crazy game altering random events, go on field trips to win items, and as they get closer to the ending, discover that this game is not quite what it seems... Run out of lives, and you'll have to start from the beginning. Game modes include:
Note: This is not a sequel to Baldi's Basics Classic. Baldi's Basics Classic is best described as a proof of concept, and this the finished product. Planned to release in early 2020 |
Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning / Baldi's Basics Classic
The original version of the game that was created in two weeks for the 2018 Meta Game Jam. In this game, players have to collect seven notebooks and escape the school, all while avoiding Baldi. There are many useful items scattered around the school that players can use to their advantage. There are also many other characters wandering the school who can help or hinder the player depending on the situation. Baldi himself is the only character who can end the player's game however, and he has a few tricks up his sleeve. Mainly, he gets faster every time a player collects a notebook, and he can hear many of the player's actions, giving him an idea of where the player is. Game modes include:
This version received occasional updates adding new features, bug fixes, and improvements for about a year after release. PC versions released on March 31, 2018 Mobile versions released on December 17, 2019 |
