Aaaah there’s nothing like the smell of fresh pine, a burning campfire and whatever
human body parts Baldi has probably stashed in it.
It’s all a very scenic experience.
Indeed the time has come to leave the fluorescent and winding halls of the schoolhouse and seek
a different kind of hell.
Since the very beginning, the Baldi’s Basics universe has captivated the imagination in
such a deep and profound way that one could only describe it as a phenomenon.
The schoolhouse is such a strange place, filled with strange entities who seek to push their
will onto us...if only to feel they have some smidgen of control.
A pathetic act of delusion...for Baldi is the one who is truly in control.
His authoritarian grasp over everything that happens here is chilling and absolute.
Posted on the wall are the rules of Baldi’s schoolhouse, and like running in the halls,
drinking in the halls, eating in the halls, and escaping detention, the rule of no fourth
wall breaks is enforced with the harshest of punishment.
In our last Baldi SYNK, we unraveled the mystery of filename2...a hero who dared to break the
fourth wall to sound the alarm and save whoever he could.
Unsurprisingly...tragedy struck.
His being itself was corrupted, demoted to a simple pair of pants, a shirt, and a face
that is...well you get it.
AND WATCHING OVER HIM IS AN EQUALLY CORRUPTED BALDI...STARING DOWN FROM ABOVE WITH HIS OPPRESSIVE
GAVE DESPITE BEING STRETCHED AND DISTORTED ACROSS SPACE AND TIME ITSELF.
He is relentless.
For when filename2 tried to warn us about the terror of this place, any language that
directly broke the fourth wall and therefore acknowledged this place as a lie was bleeped
and blared out.
The knowledge of all this is almost too much to bare...but perhaps...our demonic prison
warden has in his heart a twisted feeling of mercy.
He offers us freedom from these walls and even his impossible math problems!
Carried by the wheels of Joes I mean Baldi’s bus...we shall embark to a place where humankind
has not shielded its fragile form from the elements.
Nature has called and within its feminine embrace there is the promise of adventure.
An adventure lead by the man of disciplinary action, himself.
THE DEMO HAS BEEN UPDATED AND WITH IT COMES NEW INSIGHT INTO THE MYSTERY.
So roast some marshmallows, step in a beartrap, and travel deep into secluded woods with a
man who doesn’t seem molesty at all.
This is the story of once comforting symbolism shattered by a mind who knows no empathy.
Of a false reality presented as true.
The story of darkness retreating only from the blaze of flickering firelight fueled by
authoritarian rules and our reluctant duty to follow them.
The story of Baldi’s Basics: Field Trip Demo...the story...you never knew.
Ironically we begin our adventure into nature inside of civilization.
Specifically the familiar yet different schoolhouse.
In it we have an invisible wall so shameless it isn’t even invisible and then another
wall which does not want us to pass...and yet...we can.
And so we do it again, and again, and again until...gasp!
THE PRINCIPAL
WHAT DID HE SAY.
HE SAID NO BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL IN THE HALLS.
THE CONSPIRACY IS CONFIRMED EVEN FURTHER.
THERE IS TO BE NO MENTION THAT THIS UNIVERSE IS NOT TRUE REALITY.
But that’s no surprise is it?
So let’s leave this finger wagging nincompoop behind and head outside with camp counselor
Baldi.
UGH YOUR VOICE MAKES MY SKIN CRAWL.
AND WHO IS JOE??!
I’m sure he’s fine.
And not dead or imprisoned.
But just to make sure why not walk outside the fake barriers ‘round here and take a
stroll where no ground exists and see what’s going on.
Seems like a solid way to find some easter eggs.
Naturally we get an outside view of the principals fourth wall breaking place and gasp!
Baldi’s eyes peering at us from behind a double door with two signs that read “No”
on either side.
What lies behind these doors?
And why is Baldi so protective of them?
Walking closer doesn’t yield anything so the answer is we don’t know!
Anyway after we agree to go with Baldi we’re taken to the campsite.
Baldi lets us know he’ll set up the bear traps and tells us to keep the fire lit.
Unsurprisingly if we can’t do that we get a thwacking but if we collect a big enough
pile of sticks and throw it in the fire we hear a “wow” echoing through the forest.
You can really hear how impressed he is.
I mean it sounds like a sarcastic Owen Wilson “Wow” so obviously Baldi isn’t really
impressed.
And if you keep that crappy, terrible fire burning you’ll run down the timer and get
a half-assed victory screen!
And a new item!
Incredible.
And that’s not all folks.
New characters have been added to this camping jamboree!
There’s the familiar bully who is so blessed in physical strength he hides behind a tree
that he moves around.
Then there’s the sock puppet...capable of teleporting you back to the campsite in the
same way it did in the original game.
It appears after walking behind any “no sign” And then we have...WHAT THE HELL IS
THAT.
IT’S BLOWING OUT THE CAMPFIRE HEY I WORKED HARD ON THAT YOU ASSHAT.
And then...if you look around long enough you may come across the number 99 on a tree.
Does Baldi have 99 problems and jump rope girl ain’t one?
While Baldi doesn’t seem like a Jay-Z type of guy this number is certainly interesting
and I couldn’t piece it together with anything else in this demo.
However.
Upon seeing this mysterious number, an assault from MANY socks ensued.
We know the sock appears after passing a no sign but never before seeing this 99 did an
army of socks appear.
This forest is mysterious.
And of course...
The lore of the series has always been somewhat of a mystery...in fact in mystman12’s kickstarter
video when addressing if there would be lore in the finished game he just started laughing
all creepily and silently.
And so when a game comes from a mind like this...is it really so far fetched to think
that a conspiracy is what ties this all together?
The entities work to please Baldi and make our life a game for his amusement.
This is the reason they steal our sticks.
For if we fail to keep the fire lit, it’s the only excuse our antagonist needs to make
us to the brunt of his rage.
The bully, the sock puppet, and now a stupid, weird cloud all partake in Baldi’s game.
Perhaps most interesting among these entities is the cloud.
While we already knew the more mundane things served Baldi it now appears our antagonist
controls even the elements of nature.
His power really is absolute.
And so what else is there for a dictator to do than play games the only one who might
escape and ruin everything?
Everything we do is a dance set up to amuse the ruler of this place and add a “thrill
of the chase” to such cruel thwacking.
Indeed Baldi, the controller of everything, the false god of spoop-land doesn’t like
a winner.
It’s why his math equations are impossible.
It’s why he revels in corporal punishment.
It’s why he holds everyone under an iron-curtain of oppression and wills the elements of nature
against us.
This demo isn’t just a demo.
It’s a demonstration...a demonstration of how things really are.
Baldi, in a twisted, bizarre bout of mercy decided to take us out camping in the hopes
of convincing us that him and his hell aren’t that bad.
He wanted to give a taste of freedom...a false promise of a meaningful life in this terrible,
horrible place.
A field trip during an endless, monotonous school year.
But it was more of the same wasn’t it?
A trip into the darkness where bear traps bite us and the once soothing symbol of a
campfire is corrupted into something more ominous...and shitty.
THE DARKNESS IS SYMBOLIC OF BALDI’S INTENTIONS AND THE FIRE IS A SYMBOL OF LIGHT...FLICKERING
EVER-SO BRIGHTLY IN THE ENDLESS SEA OF MONOTONY THAT IS THIS CAMPING TRIP AND THIS SCHOOL
HOUSE.
KEEPING IT LIT GIVES US NOTHING BUT A DUMB ITEM IN THE END BUT FUCK IT THIS GAME IS STUPID
AND MAYBE THERE WILL BE MORE IN THE NEXT UPDATE AND AT LEAST THERE’S A NEW CHARACTER SO
THAT’S PRETTY COOL I GUESS.
That’s the story of a tyrant’s pathetic attempt at sympathy, the story of a false-god
who’s control lies in the fourth wall remaining intact...the story of Baldi’s Basics Field
Trip Demo...the story...you never knew.
And...that’s my take on the Baldi’s Basics camping demo thing.
Best video we’ve ever made right Treesicle Team?
Anyway when that update comes out I sure hope it has more to sink our teeth into.
