Baldi

Baldi is a survival-horror school game where your goal is simple: collect all the notebooks and escape before Baldi catches you. In the game, survival isn’t about flashy combat or fast reflexes—it’s about listening.

Game Modes

Story Mode

Your objective is to collect a set number of notebooks scattered across the school. Once collected, exits unlock—and your escape begins.

Endless Mode

Instead of escaping, you aim to survive as long as possible. The longer you last and the more notebooks you collect, the higher your score.

Both modes demand careful navigation and resource management.

How to Play

Baldi combines math puzzles with pursuit-based gameplay. You explore classrooms, solve equations, and collect notebooks while a relentless teacher roams the halls. The twist? Survival depends more on awareness and discipline than raw speed. Panic won’t save you. Planning will.

Controls

  • Move: WASD or Arrow Keys
  • Interact/Pick up items/Open doors: Left Mouse Button
  • Jump: Spacebar

The Role of Sound and Awareness

Audio cues are your most powerful survival tool.

The distinct sound of Baldi’s ruler striking signals his location. The volume and frequency help you estimate distance. If the sound grows louder and faster, he’s closing in.

Silence matters too. Noisy doors and careless movement can reveal your position. Controlling sound helps you maintain distance and avoid unnecessary encounters.

In Baldi, what you hear determines what you survive.

NPC Interactions and Environmental Pressure

Baldi isn’t the only obstacle in the school.

  • The principal enforces rules—running in halls or entering restricted areas can lead to detention
  • Playtime can delay your escape with her jump-rope challenge
  • Other characters may block hallways or interfere with your items

Each NPC adds pressure to your route planning. A single distraction can cost valuable seconds—and seconds matter. Movement discipline and item management are key to staying in control.
