It looks like it could’ve been a horror game if the lighting was a bit dimmer EDIT: People have commented below to tell me it was intentionally horror-like lol. Idk about anyone else but there’s something about lifeless school settings that are terrifying.
This game fills such a weird but captivating niche of horror. The intentionally crappy aesthetic, how restricted and limiting it feels, and the overall absolute fever dream it feels like perfectly captures what's almost like waking up with sleep paralysis after a nightmare.
@@yachayeeeb9423 well it was before like the first time you play it, but then no you'll not get scared so .. And even slender man if u know it, it was great back to it days
I found an advanced movement technique for this game, where if you finish a notebook with shift, S and the space key held you'll enter main gameplay sprinting backwards. You can still look around normally, so this helps you scoot out of the room faster and not waste time. Hopefully this helps all four people still speedrunning this game, as i'm not much of a speedrunner myself.
Hah, this game was just a trend. Like Among Us and others. I still find sussy jokes funny. My classmates think I'm cringe for laughing at something they used to find funny as well. I guess what's popular is also good as long as it's popular...? Nah, just pick what you like, as long as it's not: illegal, immoral etc. With this sentence, I end my comment: Happy gaming.
This is like one of my nightmares. Being stuck in some lowly textured overly bright maze where something fucking scary is chasing me throughout the maze.
I think it was Nerds that created a maze game that looked like that old Screensaver when the growing pipes one existed too. You would get lost going through identical low res walls, ceilings, and floors without any other indicators. The Nerds characters tried to catch you and someone may have programmed it wrong because they would shoot forward at lightning speed. Terrified the shit out of me. But then, marble blast creeped me out with its strange insular universe like a one person 3d cartoon world that never ended. No other people, just you and the ever thrilled commentator. So I could've just been an easily scared kid.
Yo I've never seen actually played baldis basics just watched streamers, and I've never understood what was actually scary about the game, but watching this speedrun... The way it's totally silent except for the slapping of the ruler... It's so unnerving
Baldi isnt scary now, hw turning more better and funny, and turn like game when ur gonna be angry on it, only ome thing scares me lil bit in baldy, is error screen, witch arrives if u pirate the kickstarter demo, why lil bit? Cuz is eatser egg on old games, and im enjoy it, that lil bit ehat scares is song, bluesam not scare me cuz he like shocked: "someone stoled my game((", and its looks like he was on second floor btw (from birthday blam), on second floor there no lights,
Your sub conscious ( the involuntary things your mind produces when you have non lucid dreams or you get knocked out or enter a coma state or when doing psychedelics) can have a weird inclinitation towards this kind of art style, mostly the animated tv cartoons kind of style, the only time i ever got knocked out after a strong hit in the head as a kid i felt as if i was watching cartoons in a super augmented reality matrix like world, i was just being entertained, almost hypnotized by these cartoons and i felt as if nothing was wrong, like if my entire purpose was to be watching these dreamy cartoons in that moment, then i started hearing screams from a woman tryng to wake me up and as i recognized these screams i started waking up
This game feels exactly like some forgotten nightmare I had as a kid. The entire game just screams like some hidden trauma to me lol. Windows XP looking ass
2:23 i felt that the speed runner felt scared, like it was a life or death situation, you can see him back up because of baldi in his presence, the mere size of baldi is enough to make the speed runner scared.
I love how baldi is both a horror game and a shitpost at the same time Edit: stop liking my comment. Guys actually stop Guys if you stop I’ll give you a cookie
I saw this video back in 2018. Then in 2020 I discovered Illumina and watched his minecraft speedruns. Now I got THIS in my recomended. I saw who made this video and I was like "Wait...IT WAS HIM?!"
to this day i am fascinated by something about this game, yet i cant quite put my finger on it. first off....i am pretty sure i dreamed this game for about 15 years now. the same scenarios and even principle or somebody looking for you in the hall way and having to get away. not being able to read certain questions. being in the wrong class or never finding your classroom. exits changing! its all been in my reoccurring dream of being stuck in a school trying to find my way out. also....runnning really slow like feet are in quick sand. this game feels like a literal dream come true. then there is baldi. i am bald....and my favorite color is green like his shirt!!!. pretty sure i can play mr baldi in a live action movie. its like the universe aimed this game at me.
