Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning: The True Story

Overview

Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning: The True Story is a fan-made game developed by Totally Dramatic Games using the Unity engine.

With the core gameplay of the Baldi's Basics series, this fan-made version has the same features but with a different storyline. The game starts with a story about two friends who are excitedly looking forward to their first day back at school. Every day passed smoothly until a terrible rumor spread, causing extreme confusion among all students. The head teacher of the Schoolhouse killed three students: Ren Chang, Hanako Sanakamanto, and Emmanuel Anwuka.

You will enter the role of the player's friend and explore the secrets hidden in this weird school. You will have time to directly face Baldi and his underlings. By finding the stolen notebooks scattered throughout the schoolhouse, you will gradually discover the true story of this place.

Gameplay

In this game, the protagonist (the player's role), a friend, enrolls in elementary school but is disappointed by the bloody rumors of his teacher, Baldi Baldimore. You are forced to enroll in a school where your friend, Tag, gets a nice and beautiful teacher. Players must uncover the truth about the school and face challenges in the first week.

In the first week, players must get to Baldi's class before being late. Petty Gossip, the cruelest girl in the school, demands lunch money from you. If players are late, Baldi will scold you and ask you to stay after class. You are disciplined and must choose whether to tell Tag about your punishment.

In the first week of school, you will discuss your knowledge about Petty Gossip and Carla Carcass, your friend's teacher. Players discover that Baldi has stolen your notebooks and demands that you answer math problems. Baldi becomes angry when gamers answer the wrong question. Players must collect the remaining notebooks, which reveal the ghosts of Ren, Hanako, and Emmanuel. You will be assisted by a nurse named Kusuri Ali. The notebooks are found in different locations, with tapes indicating their deaths. At that time, players must leave once they collect the remaining notebooks.

In Week 2, you are traumatized by the events of the previous week and the Student Council. You find that Petty Gossip has been expelled from school, but her younger brother is now taking place for her. Players continue to find your notebooks and deal with Carla Carcass and the Student Council. You uncover more secrets, meet new characters, and unlock bonus feature shorts. After reaching the tenth week, the challenge becomes harder, with a warped version of Baldi and The Test replacing their roles. You must escape the schoolhouse, but you reveal that you have accidentally left seven of your notebooks back at school. You convince Tag to return, using the excuse of going to "eating practice."
