Ba Bị is the Boogeyman of Vietnamese folklore, the shadow that takes bad children away. You are one of four kids he has captured. Pass his twisted test in 15 mins to prove you’re a good child or pay the price. But the deeper you go, you realize this test was never really about grades.

About
Alright, first things first, congrats on being a terrible kid. Because now Ba Bị has you. Yeah. That Ba Bị. The one your parents used to whisper about when you refused to sleep. Turns out he’s real. And in this game, you’re one of four “naughty” kids he’s dragged off into the dark.
But hey, good news: he’s not asking for your soul. He just wants proof you’re a good child. And with him, “good” doesn’t mean brave or kind. It means good grades.
So welcome to the nightmare good kid challenge. To survive, you’ll have to pass 9 parts of Ba Bị’s “test”, a series of minigames disguised as familiar school subjects like Biology, Math, and History… plus childhood classics you thought were harmless:
Minesweeper.
Rock–Paper–Scissors.
Hangman.
…and more.
Make too many mistakes or let the timer run out. YOU WILL BE PUNISHED.
Your goal isn’t to escape.It’s to become the good child everyone expects. Because only kids with a perfect-enough score get to go home.
Step back into the shoes of a child being judged and this time, you don’t get to look away. You can customize the look of the kid. Simply by drag and drop the image file to the game's window.
Face the fear you grew up with.
Because this time, Ba Bị isn’t coming for some kid.
He’s coming for you.

English review: If you're a fan of ARG type horror story telling this game has excellence lore that will only unravel if you pay attention to the dialogs and use logics to put 2 and 2 together. Great art (for an indie game) and great atmosphere well worth the small price. Only downside is somewhat uninspired 10/10 if you found the secret ending. Review Việt: Là một người đã mua và chơi Thần Trùng, không phải là cứ game Việt là tung hô lên trời. Thần Trùng có rất nhiều thiếu sót khi so sánh vs các game indie toàn cầu. Nhưng Ba Bị hoàn toàn so sánh đc với những con game indie chất lượng, ở mảng UI, cốt truyện và cách thức kể chuyện. Cách nhà làm game lần lượt cho mình những mẩu chi tiết về chuỗi sự kiện khiến mình phải để ý tới từng lời hội thoại và tạo một cảm giác không tả được khi mình giải được đầu đuôi sự việc và tìm được cái kết ẩn. 10/10 Hãy mua game để ủng hộ những con game Việt chất lượng.
Please play this game once, worth penny! Short game, peak gambling material, and unique design. This game imo the rival to the infamous Buckshot Roulette, despite lacking of multiplayer capability. The gameplay is a sequence of questions requires player reasoning, risk management and short-term memory. Some minigames require a bit of knowledge on specific problems in programming or poker, though the game gives clear output on each iterations. One more thing i really like, is the character design, which is really eye catching btw! Despite I really love the design of the character, and I respect the decision of the artist, I think they are not quite fit with the name of the characters... Technical review: The game has a smooth interaction flow as an arcade game. The interactability of the gameplay is good, however, it should be optimized for highly precise interaction, one reason is well...speedrunning. Some visual element should be considerably be in same view, such as [spoiler]English typing game[/spoiler]. The game itself is currently very much optimized for MOUSE, while it has the opportunity to play well with keyboard (typing, arrowkeys) and controller. I would strongly advise having visual cue to indicate the immediate interaction to the answer components (hover, click, etc...).

I see what you did there, lore drops in Math questions. Anw, the game is short, doesn't mean it's not enough to play with. The rules are simple, Sir Ba Bị is not as trickery as I thought he would be tho, pretty straight forward to his own words lol? Maybe I did overthink it in my first test. I love the art direction. I love the music. I love the tension. I hate (in a good way) it when the game messed with me. The price is fairly cheap, give it a try and see if you like it. Have a good test!
Very reccommended after the game got its lore update, it really spices things up and amps up the overall experience. And such a steal for this price. The gameplay is very great and simple, tho it can be a bit repetitive, there are different conditions for each char to make up its repetition. I adore the Ba Bi guy design, it is a fun twist to the phieu be ngoan. I really look forward to this VN mascot horror's next installments!! (and being sloppified in ur average kid youtube parody mascot horror ahh :D)
Very interesting game, as a Vietnamese I'm really proud of this game! Ba Bị contain lot of puzzle game that is really to understand and play (except minesweeper and decryption ouch) . Really impressed by the vibe it give, most of the game is seem like luck based but you can actually manage the risk by using good card! Hoa is really my favorite character because of "kakegurui masho" moment when triggering her skills. New update gives a lot of easter eggs, really awesome, i love the moment my head appear a bulb light on when i found a secret hehe. In general Ba Bi is a really good game!! I really look forward for more update contents in the future!!
The game is truly captivating and it is actually the first time I have played a Vietnamese title that kept me so hooked. The most impressive thing when I first started was the graphics because the character designs are absolutely stellar. I really love the vibe this game brings especially the settings menu which has a system software aesthetic that I find very appealing. Besides that the gameplay is incredibly addictive as the various minigames blend together so seamlessly that I completely lost track of time. I also appreciate how the story is woven into the experience because it constantly piqued my curiosity about the world within the game. In short Ba Bi is a fantastic title that is well worth playing. I am eagerly looking forward to future updates that will expand the story and complete the game as I am very proud of what Vietnamese developers have achieved.
Definitely think the addition of the story helped bring more life to the game. The gameplay itself is fun (though with the typewriter game could have more varied categories) and since the story mode update, now paying attention to both the cutscenes and the interactions during the game are important to getting deeper into the lore. Loved what you all did, and looking forward to what you all have in store :) -... . ... - / --- ..-. / .-.. ..- -.-. -.-
Would recommend!!!
Mình thích ý tưởng chơi các minigame để đánh thắng Ba Bị trong game. Mình cũng mong là trong tương lai nếu studio có tiếp tục phát triển các game khác thì nên bổ sung thêm cốt truyện đằng sau những nhân vật chính (hoặc ít nhất là nv tiêu biểu của game-Ba Bị). Ngoài ra mình cũng có các góp ý sau: - Trong trò đoán ô chữ, có chữ [spoiler] motocycles [/spoiler] đc ghi thẳng ra thay vì chỉ có hint ở dưới. Cũng mong là game sẽ có bản tiếng việt cho minigame này chứ không phải chơi đoán từ tiếng anh. - Ở câu hỏi cuối của trò giải toán, sẽ có câu hỏi liên quan đến nhân vật mà mình chơi. Tuy nhiên do người chơi không được biết về lore hay bất kì thông tin nào ngoài cơ chế chơi minigame nên mình phải dùng phiếu bé để skip câu cuối. - Có thể bổ sung thêm các mingame quen thuộc với tuổi thơ VN như: xì dách, ô ăn quan, cờ caro, bầu tôm cua cá,... bên cạnh các minigame quốc tế thường thấy khác (simon says, minesweeper) - Ba Bị là nhân vật mà trẻ em VN nghe thôi đã sợ nên các bạn có thể thêm vài đoạn độc thoại của các nhân vật chính khi đối diện thể hiện sự lo sợ, hoang mang khi bị bắt cóc để ép chơi với hắn. Và studio có thể thêm nhận xét độc thoại khi tương tác với phiếu bé ngoan hay thấy đc trống đồng khắc ở trên bàn (vd: lâu lắm rồi mình mới đc cầm lại phiếu bé; chắc từ mẫu giáo đến giờ rồi...) Điểm này sẽ làm cho người chơi quốc tế có thể hiểu hơn về văn hóa dân gian của nước mình. KẾT: Cảm ơn studio vì kết hợp nhiều chi tiết quen thuộc với tuổi thơ của mình <3 Mong các bạn sẽ làm nhiều game thuần Việt như Ba Bị để thỏa mãn cơn đói game Việt của công đồng game thủ VN
Good game, chillin vibe, a bit jumpscare, but why the drawing card part is against the probability calculation most of the time tho :( tips: chill a bit since you need a bit of calculation to maximize the information given a certain of protection cards for some challenge (each challenge is adjusted to be harder in the late of the session).
