❤ Expanded Tool Kit

The game introduces a diverse array of items, such as the Nana's Nectar, which can temporarily stun the antagonist Baldi, and the Boombox, which can distract other characters. Players appreciate how these new tools expand their options for overcoming challenges, adding an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay.

❤ Unpredictable Events

Throughout the levels, players may encounter random events that drastically alter the conditions, like the school suddenly flooding or flipping upside down. Reviewers find these unexpected occurrences keep them on their toes, as they must quickly adapt to the changing circumstances.

❤ Diverse Gameplay Modes

In addition to the classic 'Hide and Seek' formula, the game offers an 'Endless Mode' where players compete to collect as many notebooks as possible before being caught. There are also 'Field Trips,' which provide standalone mini-games, and future 'Challenge Modes' that will present unique scenarios. This variety caters to different player preferences and skill levels.

❤ Retro-Inspired Visual and Audio Design

Many players are drawn to the game's distinct aesthetic, which pays homage to the low-budget, glitchy visuals and chiptune soundtracks of 1990s educational software. Reviewers describe this retro-inspired style as charming and endearing, contributing to the game's overall appeal.
