Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning (or simply Baldi's Basics) is a free-to-play survival horror indie video game. It was released on March 30, 2018 for PC. Baldi's Basics is a parody; it looks like an educational video game from the 1990s, but it is really a survival horror game.
Gameplay
The player must find their friend's seven notebooks that are spread throughout the school, without being caught by their teacher, Baldi, and being hindered by the other students and faculty.[1] Each notebook has at least one wrong answer with the exception of the first notebook. Along the way you can collect items to help you. It is impossible to get the last question correct on all notebooks with the exception of the first notebook.
The game was initially made as an entry in the annual Meta-Game Jam, where it received 2nd place.[2] It became popular for its humor-like difficulty and strange-looking levels.[3] popular YouTubers such as Markiplier made videos showing themselves playing the game.[4]
