What is Baldi's Basics Plus?

This single-player, first-person stealth roguelike parodies 1990s edutainment in a horror-tinged schoolhouse. You explore procedurally generated levels, collect notebooks and items, and avoid Baldi, who tracks the sounds you make, while random characters and events disrupt each run. Hide & Seek uses limited lives across escalating levels, while Endless Mode continues until Baldi catches you.

For you if...

+you enjoy difficult stealth that rewards adapting your plans
+you like procedural runs with chaotic random events
+you want horror mixed with retro edutainment parody

Not for you if...

−you want multiplayer rather than a single-player game
−you avoid games still in Early Access
−you dislike losing progress when a run ends
