It also mentions that there are not a lot of horror elements at this stage of game development but there are still a few things that can scare players. It then prompts the player to press any key to continue.
WARNING!
Baldi's Basics Plus is a mildhorror game and this is not educational software.
While horror elements are relatively light at this stage of the game's development, there are still a few jumpscares and other elements that might frighten some players.

V0.8
Development Update!
Hello Baldi's Basics players!
Thank you for playing version 0.8. This update features a new time limit, a new structure and a new marker feature for the advanced map! It also brings level generator improvements and technical changes that pave the way for future content.
When time runs out, school will no longer be in session and you'll need to hurry up because things will quickly start getting harder! Baldi's speed will begin to gradually increase, and if the Principal of the Thing sees you he'll send you to detention! Lights will also start dimming, but with this update you can now hide in dark areas. Hiding in the darkness will be key to surviving if you find yourself running out of time!
-Micah McGonigal, December 2024
V0.7~V0.7.1
Development Update!
Hello Baldi's Basics players!
Thank you for playing version 0.7. This update brings back field trips! You can now go camping again and play two brand new minigames! The farm field trip will return in a future update, with brand new field trips to follow.
Field Trips in Hide & Seek are now accessible from The Pitstop before playing level 3. You'll need a bus pass to play them though! The bus pass can be found in level 2, so be sure to grab one before you finish the level.
When playing the dedicated field trip mode, the minigames switch to scoring based variants. You can practice and try to set high scores this way!
-Micah McGonigal, September 2024

Hello Baldi's Basics supporters!After releasing 0.4, I slowed down a bit to catch up on life since I'd been so focused on getting that huge update finished. This means 0.5 is relatively small, but my work life balanced should return to normal shortly and you can expect future updates to be a little bit more substantial!

Hello Baldi's Basics supporters, I hope you enjoy playing this pre-release!
This is the first of two 0.8 pre-releases. This pre-release features a new time limit! If you take too long to beat a level, the school will start closing down and Baldi will start getting faster and faster! Look for dark areas to hide in. You can also now adjust how lives work with the new play style option. Please note that placeholders are currently in use for some new features.

Hello Baldi's Basics supporters, I hope you enjoy playing this pre-release!
This is the second of two 0.8 pre-releases. This pre-release features a new hallway generation algorithm and a new strucuture! The new hallway generation algorithm prevents dead-ends and bottlenecks from forming. In the future this will allow me to be more intentional with dead-ends and similar obstacles in the future. I've also implemented a brand new, streamlined structure generation/loading system. Because of this, pre-made maps have been disabled until I update them to the new system.
As before, the changelog will be ready for the public release. If encounter any bugs or have any feedback, please let me know by commenting on the Kickstarter or Patreon post regarding this pre-release or by sending me an email.

A warning screen displays when starting the game. It tells that Baldi's Basics Classic was intended to be a horror game, with a few elements supposedly scaring players and being "generally pretty spoopy". It also mentions not to let young gamers play this game, unless they are interested in playing horror games. Pressing any key or clicking on the warning screen leads to the main menu screen.

A main menu screen that allows access to either click on "START" to begin the game or exit to close by clicking on the red X button on the top right. Clicking on "MENU" takes the player to the menu screen that lists "HOW TO PLAY", "OPTIONS", and "CREDITS".
Although the "HOW TO PLAY" screen is more of a story summary than listing controls (which is actually found in the Options menu), though it does tell the player how to win the game. The following story describes below:
Oh noes! School is out, but your friend has a problem!
He left all his noteboos in school, but doesn't have time
to go get them, because if he does he'll be late for
eating pracitce. To help him out, you have to go back in
the school and find all his notebooks for him. It won't
be easy though! Baldi loves challenging his students with
fun trivia problems whenever he can! Each time you find
a notebook, you'll have to answer some questions.
To win the game, you must find 7 notebooks, and then
exit the school! You have to have fun too, of course!
A screen with 2 buttons to select a game mode or to go back to the main menu.
On Mobile, text can be seen at the center, saying "Wear headphones for the best experience!".
The loading screen features black-colored "LOAD" text and a spinning Baldi head at the center.
The story line is completely different from Baldi's Basics Classic:
Baldi's Basics is now a year old, so it's time to celebrate!
All the items have been wrapped and shuffled around by
Baldi, to make the search for notebooks extra fun and
exciting! He even put all sorts of items in the food
machines, there's no telling what you'll get from those!
Yes, Baldi has surely guaranteed a fun time at this party,
and it's all thanks to you!
To win the game, as usual, you must collect all the
notebooks and then exit the school! That should be a "piece of cake" for you!
A launcher screen displays at the very beginning after starting the game. It can be skipped by enabling the "Disable Launcher" option.
A warning screen displays after Basically, Games! logo appears. It tells the player that Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered is a horror game and that it is definitely not educational software. It prompts the player to press any key to continue.

A style menu screen will show the name of style on the chalkboard and the player can choose either Story Mode or Endless Mode with Fun Settings on the bottom left before playing the game. In Demo Style, Baldi is hidden below the chalkboard and he will send the player to promotion screens of Baldi's Basics Plus when clicking on him.
The loading screen features green-colored "LOAD" text and multiple Baldi heads in the background. There is a rare chance that the "Badli" head will appear.
If the player completes any style or style with all Fun Settings enabled except for Free Run, this screen will appear, which is similar to the loading screen. However, instead of the inscription ""LOAD"" it will say what Fun Setting or style the player received.
This is the reminder from mystman12, including what Baldi's Basics Plus includes, the demo's summary, controls, and an opportunity to pledge the Kickstarter page.
V1.0
Baldi's Basics in Education and Learningâ„¢ Kickstarter Field Trip demo madness!
WARNING!
This is still a horror game. There are jumps and louds and stuffs. Now with that out of the way...
This is the Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning Camping Field Trip demo!
The way field trips will work will be like this demo demonstrates. In certain levels, you'll be able to go outside and hop onto the bus.
Once your field trip begins, you must survive while also trying to score as high as possible!
The better your score, the better your rewards! The highest scores will even get you permanent buffs that last for the rest of your game!
Also, please remember that this demo is kind of a proof of concept more than anything.
Everything shown here is subject to change in the future. Of course, the field trips in the final project will also be much more polished and feature full than this! And of course, remember that field trips are mainly meant to give players a break from the main game, so they're not meant to be played over and over again.
Controls: Left click to pick up wood/fuel fire, R to drop firewood, shift to run, space to look back
So, without further ado, PRESS ANY BUTTON TO START!
(And please check out the Baldi's Basics Kickstarter as well!)

I'm doing a Kickstarter to create a full version of Baldi's Basics!
It will include some great new features like randomly generated levels, new characters, new items, random events...
The goal of this field trip is to keep the fire going for three minutes. You'll have to grab firewood and use it to fuel the fire. Maximize your score for better rewards by loading as many sticks into the fire at once as you can!
If the fire goes out, well... Run.
Controls
Left Click: Pick up firewood/Drop firewood in fire
R: Drop firewood on ground (Useful if you need to speed up)
Shift: Sprint
Space bar: Look behind you
Hold Escape: Quit the game
Remember, the Kickstarter ends on Thursday, August 23 at 3:50 PM EST!
Time is running out, so if you want to see Baldi's Basics expanded upon, please consider pledging!
These end cards encourage players to help pledging funds to the game's Kickstarter page in order to let Baldi's Basics Plus happen.
A reminder screen that appears when starting the demo. It tells the player that this demo contains random events, and special structures. It also tells the player that the map was made by the level generator, with some tweaks applied to it to better represent the final product, and that it needs much more tweaking in Baldi's Basics Plus.
Important!This is an early demo of the full version of Baldi's Basics, which is still in development. Everything in this demo is subject to change, and some things in this demo use placeholders. Also,due to how early in development the game still is, you may encounter some bugs!Truly the most horrifying part of any horror game. The best way to let me know about any bugs is through the demo's Itch.io page.
This demo is focused on gameplay and some new features that will be in the full game, mainlyrandom events and special structures. It is missing some things that will be in the full game, but have not been implemented in this demo, includinghorror and edutainment parody elements, field trips, new characters and items, level decorations, and more.There's a lot to look forward to in the full game!
The level featured in this demo was created by the random level generator that will be used in the full game, with a few tweaks made by hand to better represent the final product. The level generator still needs a lot of tweaking, so in the full game, most levels should be even better than this one. I'd love to hear your feedback on this level though, so I can make the generator ever better!
And, as always...
WARNING!
This game is actually a horror game kind of and not actually educational. Don't let your kids play it unless they like horror games, blah blah blah. There may be some flashing and loudness, possibly, I dunno... Spooks and parodies of spooks abound. I'm rambling. I'm going to stop typing now.
The main menu has some differences comparing to Baldi's Basics Classic and Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash.
This is a demo showing a small slice of things to come in the full version of Baldi's Basics! It's still in development, so everything in this demo, is subject to change and improvement!

The title screen is also same as the early demo's one, but the only differences are the red text now says "Challenge Maps Demo!" and there is a text "Click here to check out Baldi's Basics Plus, entering early aceess in spring 2020!" next to Baldi's head icon to click.
This demo shows a new mode coming to Baldi's Basics Plus, challenge maps! As you discover new things in the main game, you'll unlock challenge maps like these to play! These challenge maps provide unique experiences that won't be found in the main game!

By using the Unity project, the quad for the main menu screen can be seen, which contains the text of the weird message.
Pressing the "X" button again before Baldi's "Thanks for playing, come back soon!" quote ends will make him repeat the same quote and the game will not be closed. If the player presses other buttons while this quote is playing, it shows a different screen, rather than quitting the game.
This was also applied to Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, but it was fixed in V1.0.2.
Prior to V0.1.2, the version text did not redirect to the list of itch.io development logs page.
The hidden map.
There is a secret map located inside of the main menu.
It only has white and black tiles with the skybox being "AtlasTest".
Prior to V0.2, the "PLAY" button also appeared in the elevator as a cropped image from the main menu at the bottom before playing the floor.
Even though Johnny's Store was implemented in V0.2, the feature "an in-game shop (For YTPS)," was listed in the upcoming content list in the "ABOUT" screen until V0.2.2.
here was no notification icon and the shape of all buttons was a rounded rectangle.
In V0.3.3 and V0.3.4, there were "Development Roadmap" and "Devlogs on Itch.io" buttons. These buttons were replaced to "Changelogs/Devlogs" and "Credits".
The "OPTIONS" button was also used for the pause menu prior to V0.3.5.
From V0.3.3 to V0.3.7, there was a Anniversary Presentation button in the About button. Clicking this button just brings the player to the anniversary video.
Baldi's Basics Classic[]
Prior to V1.3, "figured" is misspelled as "figure": "In case you haven't figure it out yet, this game is intended to be a horror game."
Prior to V1.4, the Comic Sans MS font was not pixelated.
Prior to V1.4.1, it was possible to press any key to go to the main menu in the warning screen. Now, it only registers mouse clicks. In addition, the "(Press any key to continue)" was changed to "(Press to continue)".
Baldi's Basics Classic/Birthday Bash[]
The additional menu selection is not implemented, with the "HOW TO PLAY" button included for the starting menu.
The title screen's file name is "title_final", which implies that there may have been a different version of the title in Classic.
Baldi's Basics Classic/Classic Remastered[]
In the "How To Play" screen, "notebooks" is misspelled as "noteboos": "all his noteboos in school". Also, "practice" is misspelled as "pracitce": "be late for eating pracitce".
The "noteboos" typo was intentionally made for being funny.[2]
Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered[]
Rarely, Baldi heads in the loading screen are replaced to "Badli" heads, which are orange-colored, distorted Baldi heads.
The ''#2'' text in the Launcher screen might be a reference to Baldi's Basics Classic being in the second place in the 2018 Meta Game Jam.
Baldi's Basics Field Trip demo: Camping[]
In V1.0, the reminder message was only about the game itself. Plus, there was only one end card, similar to the fourth one in the current version but with differences in the text above.
Baldi's Basics - Challenges Demo[]
In the text about the full game's early access in the main menu, the word "access" is misspelled as "aceess".
The title screen has no trademark symbol (â„¢) unlike in other games and demos.
