== Description ==
Baldi's Basics™ Plus is an active stealth roguelike that parodies cheap '90s edutainment with a subtle horror twist! Try to collect all the notebooks in each level as Baldi uses his incredible hearing to track you down in a game of "Hide & Seek". As you do so you will encounter strange characters, find useful items, go on field trips and more inside Baldi’s ever changing Super Schoolhouse, and as you explore the game itself you'll start to realize it is not what it seems...
Mixing strategy with chaos, Baldi's Basics Plus plays like no other game, with surprises around every corner that will throw your plans for a loop. Strategizing is key, but knowing how to best revise those strategies as situations change is even more important! As you learn the ins-and-outs of every character, item, event, and obstacle, you'll be able to make better plans, come up with the best strategies, and escape the most dangerous situations.
== Two Core Versions ==
There are two main versions of Baldi’s Basics. Baldi’s Basics Plus, which is the main Baldi’s Basics project, and Baldi’s Basics Classic, which is a free, smaller project based on the original version of Baldi’s Basics made for the Meta Game Jam in 2018.

* Challenge Mode (PLANNED FOR LATER IN DEVELOPMENT)As you make new discoveries in Hide & Seek, you'll unlock challenges! Challenges offer unique scenarios you won't find in the main game.

Note: This is not a sequel to Baldi's Basics Classic. Baldi's Basics Classic and Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, though they share the same IP, are more akin to proof-of-concept games. Baldi's Basics Plus will be the ultimate, main Baldi's Basics game that has been planned since the idea's inception.

Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning / Baldi's Basics Classic (2018)
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: 
* Story ModeCollect seven notebooks and escape Baldi's school to win!
* Endless ModeSee how many notebooks you can collect before being caught by Baldi!
This version received occasional updates adding new features, bug fixes, and improvements for about a year after release.

=== Company Description ===
Basically Games is a one-man indie game studio run by passionate game developer Micah McGonigal that, basically, makes games! With plans far beyond Baldi's Basics, Basically Games hopes to create a wide variety of experiences and passion projects.
=== History ===
On March 31, 2018, Micah McGonigal released Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning on Itch.io as an entry to the 2018 Meta Game Jam. Shortly after, the game unexpectedly became a huge success and Micah took the opportunity to organize Basically Games, LLC. Shortly after, he ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the creation of a full version of Baldi's Basics. This not only kickstarted the development of that project, but also Basically Games as a whole. Since then, work has continued on Baldi’s Basics, all while brainstorming ideas for the next big project!
