    • “Good mechanics, good soundtrack, and good potential.”
    • “The soundtracks that I have heard in the game are really good, especially the cell boss fight.”
    • “The audio and music settings are on 100, meaning when you first boot up the game, you will get ear-raped because the music is so loud.”
    • “It's really unfortunate that the soundtrack at play here is as boring as it is, especially considering the creator is mainly known for being a musician.”

  • gameplay18 mentions

    The gameplay of this game has been widely criticized for being a poor imitation of "Baldi's Basics," with repetitive NPCs, confusing mechanics, and a lack of challenge. Players noted that the math challenges and sprint mechanics are frustrating and poorly explained, leading to a disjointed experience. While some found potential in the mechanics, the overall consensus is that the game fails to deliver engaging or original gameplay.

    • “Great gameplay ('magnifique' as the French would say)”
    • “Good mechanics, good soundtrack, and good potential.”
    • “Most of the mechanics took me like 1 second to understand, but you'd need to play a lot longer to be able to fully understand and even in some cases, be able to utilize the characters or mechanics to get you out of sticky situations.”
    • “This game is just a bad imitation of Baldi's Basics. There's nothing good about it. The NPCs are all the same except for two, and there's 'Dave,' a poor imitation of Baldi. The gameplay lacks challenge, and the 'math' challenges are confusing and unengaging. The game doesn't explain what you need to do, and the story is almost non-existent. The audio settings are terrible, and the sensitivity is too high. The sprint mechanic is poorly designed, making it dangerous to use.”
    • “This game sucks. I know it's a Baldi 'inspired' game, but it doesn't excuse the unoriginal mechanics and characters. The notebook mechanic is more annoying than Baldi's, and everything feels like a worse version of Baldi's Basics. Most characters have sounds that are unbearable, and if you criticize the game, the fanbase will just label you a 'hater.' Please don't waste your time with this game; just play Baldi's Basics instead.”
    • “Most of the mechanics took me like one second to understand, but you'd need to play a lot longer to fully grasp and utilize the characters or mechanics effectively. This makes the gameplay feel unnecessarily complicated and frustrating.”

    • “A cool story.”
    • “A story worth paying attention to.”

    • “It gets cringe in the end when we have to get out of school, same story about Dave's house remastered when Dave gets a boss fight in the basement.”
    • “What story?”
