Video Game / Raldi's Crackhouse

"Worlds best Baldi's Basics mod."

Raldi's Crackhouse was a mod for Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning that was quite Denser and Wackier in its nature than the source material.

The gameplay in Raldi's Crackhouse is similar to Baldi's Basics, with the player taking on the role of a student who must solve puzzles and complete tasks (mainly gathering notebooks) to escape from the Crackhouse. However, the game puts its own spin on the formula with a variety of unique challenges and obstacles. One of the standout features of the game is the inclusion of memes like Peter Griffin and MrBeast, which adds to the overall humor and silliness of the game.

The mod can be downloaded here and here. The game has been cancelled as of March 1st, 2024.

This mod contains the following examples:

• Abnormal Ammo: The ammo in Classic Remastered's NULL Mode was already abnormal enough, but in the Neil/Ishaan Mode, you have to throw various memes at the character in question to damage them.
• Adjustable Censorship: In the main menu, you can toggle the potentially-offending themes of swear words, gun violence, use and mention of drugs, and the Toilet Humor mentioned below.
• Affably Evil: Van Man, in spite of being a kidnapper, is at least kind enough to leave people alone if they can jump rope 5 times in a row.
• Anti-Frustration Features:
  • Any quarters gathered are automatically sent to a separate counter, so as long as you have some cash, you can spend it on whatever you need.
  • In Hard Mode, due to Raldi pursuing you right from the get-go, the memes are Adapted Out of the notebooks to save you time in obtaining them.
  • In the Neil/Ishaan Mode, money is automatically added to your supplies after gathering each notebook.
  • As of an update, when Neil or Ishaan take over to enforce their mode upon you, you can click on "Pussy Out" on the main menu to return to the original Main Menu if you don't want to be softlocked from the main content. You simply have to repeat the previous requirements (save for already-completed ObjectAsks) to see their modes again.
• Ascended Extra: Ishaan, who spends most of the game as a vendor selling potatoes at high prices, becomes the True Final Boss of the game after Neil is overpowered.
• Berserk Button:
  • Stealing MrBeast's credit card will anger him and make him hostile as soon as he finds out, whether by discovering it absent in his office, or, the worst-case scenario, he discovers YOU have it if he starts a challenge while you have it on hand.
  • In Ishaan's case, it's attacking him when he offers for you to buy some of his potatoes.
    Ishaan: Okay, okay! You do not buy my potatoes?! That is a sin, and I am going to kill you now! I will repeat; I am going to murder you, so you should probably start running!
  • Chipfloke REALLY doesn’t like people escaping from his jail cell.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: Attempting to create a new save file after Neil has taken over will have him personally taunt you about it, and that there's no way out of this anymore, all because of you. Well, until you overpower him^note or use "Pussy Out" on a Neil file to make your escape, that is.
• Brutal Bonus Level:
  • The game's Hard Mode increases the difficulty and has the surprise twist of 9 more notebooks to gather (alongside ten more if you decide to chance another round against the timer).
  • The Double Trouble mode has you face not only the gang in the Crackhouse, but also the original Baldi's Basics characters at the same time.
• But Thou Must!: When running into Walter White for the first time in a game, he will ask the player if they want a crackpipe, telling them to "shake their head up and down" to say no^note The player does not have the ability to move their head vertically. He then immediately drops the item.
• Denser and Wackier: And how! This mod is chock full of memes at many corners, even some that barge into gameplay at any opportunity.
• Developer's Foresight:
  • In Endless Mode, the highest number of notebooks you collected is, of course, seen in the Mode Selection screen, though playing with modifiers will have the score integrated to a separate record.
  • Van Man can actually be seen in a jail cell if he gets caught kidnapping you, and will even call you out if you approach him.
  • In Hard Mode, if the Monkenator is used during the last 9 notebooks (without counting Lap 2), the theme for the Monkenator will perfectly sync with the "Morbin' Time" theme.
  • In Double Trouble, the Principal Of The Thing has a unique line for catching you walking around without washing your hands.
  • EVERY item has a use in the MrBeast fight.
  • A few unique meme popups appear specifically if you have the phone in your inventory.
• Easter Egg: The "Balls" posters in the Crackhouse can actually be walked through, and hold quite the variety of secrets.
  • Using the Monkenator when it's time to poop leaves a mess on the floor, as well as a gassy emission behind you. Raldi can only simply utter a confused "Congratulations?" to that.
• Establishing Character Moment: When you first see Raldi at the very beginning of the game, his sprite is seen spinning around, and he introduces himself with a rather goofy song. After the first notebook is collected and you go back out to get your first quarter, you'll find he's suddenly started doing the Gangnam Style dance out of nowhere, accompanied by the music in question.
• Expy Coexistence: Double Trouble has the original Baldi’s Basics gang appear alongside the Raldi’s Crackhouse characters.
• Game Within a Game:
  • Shooting MrBeast with a glock while he's hostile will trigger a Deltarune-styled boss fight.
  • Finding a variant of the Battle Bus outside will allow you to duel against Raldi in a Friday Night Funkin'-based minigame, complete with a cover of that game's "Dad Battle".
• Gameplay Grading: For Hard Mode, this is provided at the end depending on how many points you acquired, the highest possible rank being a P.
• Helpful Mook: The Present gives you a random item on contact.
  "Your business is appreci-."
• I Lied: After meeting the requirements to find Neil, he offers you an opportunity to leave... only to brutally strip that away from you, force-closing the game and taking it over until you defeat him on the next run.
• Larynx Dissonance: Raldi, when not saying his original self's quotes at a slightly-higher tone, speaks in a silly high-pitched voice that doesn't quite fit him being an adult.
  "Congratulations! You found all (high-pitched voice) ten unnamed collectable items. (normal voice) Now all you need to do is (high-pitched voice) RUN."
• New Game Plus: Well, sort of. After finishing Ishaan Mode, Neil will state that this is well and truly it, and that the original characters have been freed. Clones had since been put in their place to encourage replayability.
• Nonstandard Game Over:
  • If you get caught by MrBeast, you get a credits roll which features the player in solitary confinement. If you have the "Get Out of Jail Free" Card on hand when this happens, though, you'll be brought back out of the prison and back to normal gameplay, effectively giving you a second chance.
  • Even more abnormally, if the urge to defecate gets WAY too large, the camera will zoom out ominously into a third-person perspective, while text pops up saying you have diarrhea. After that, the player literally begins flying across the schoolhouse in a trail of their own feces up until they run into Raldi, thus ending their run.
    YOU HAVE DIARRHEA
• Precision F-Strike:
  • Shooting the Van Man's van while playing jumprope will have him complain appropriately as he races off. He also blurts out a "shit" if he's caught by Chipfloke.
  • MrBeast blurts one out when he discovers his credit card is missing without bumping into you prior.
    "WHO THE FUCK JUST STOLE MY CREDIT CARD?! I WILL FIND YOU!"
  • Neil has a bad habit of shouting "motherfucker" a lot.
• Professional Killer: After acquiring the phone, you can hire a hitman who will go and kill off Raldi to stop him from being a threat. However, this is only a temporary solution, as he'll be back up and at 'em soon after.
• Reality Warper: While Arts & Crafters has this per standard, the Polish Cow can also teleport you to a random location if it touches you while provoked to do so. It can't teleport Raldi with you, however, and you can set down a Polish Cow Marker to control where you get teleported to.
• Religious Robot: The variant of 1st Prize seen in this game is actively Christian, carrying a Bible around with him and pressing you about the matter whenever he sees you come and go.
  "WILL YOU HAVE A MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST?"
  "WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FROM THE LORD?"
• Surprisingly Realistic Outcome:
  • If Raldi chases you into the toilets and finds you in one of the cubicles, he immediately bolts it out of there, his icon even reflecting this. Yeah, not the best idea to hunt down a student while they're taking a dump. Baldi isn't deterred in Double Trouble, though.
  • If Chipfloke catches the Van Man kidnapping you, he will IMMEDIATELY send Van Man to jail.
• Sweet Tooth: British Bloke (the Expy of It's A Bully) craves for sweets and won't let you pass him unless you hand him an item or Chipfloke catches him and sends him to jail.
• Timed Mission: After collecting the tenth notebook in Hard Mode, just like with Pizza Tower, you have 5 minutes to gather another nine, then bolt it to the exits before Raldi catches you. The remaining time is carried over if you want to go for Lap 2. If the timer expires, Raldi's speed will increase greatly to the point that it's near-impossible to outrun or deter him.
• Toilet Humor: At some points during your run, you can hear fart noises (which can be toggled off), and you'll eventually need to go to the toilets to clear out the load.
• Tradesnark™: The hammers used to bust through glass, get past 1st Prize or break out of Van Man's van, are labelled "Hammer for Sticky Situations TM".
• Transplant: Many different characters from separate franchises and IPs replace the classic characters from Baldi's Basics.
  • Van Man, the replacement for Playtime, is a very distorted picture of Stan Marsh from South Park.
  • Principal of the Thing is replaced by Chipfloke, based off of Storytime Animator Chipflake.
  • MrBeast appears in the game as a completely new character.
  • The player can find Walter White and the Annoying Dog from Undertale in specific secret rooms.
  • Though they are not physical NPCs, the two "annoyer" characters are Peter Griffin and Scott Cawthon.
• True Final Boss: After beating Neil, meeting new requirements will allow you to fight the more comedic Ishaan, who needs to be overpowered to see the game's true ending.
