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!!
Quite great experience and honestly looking forward to the next update. I'm surprised this game is not getting much traction here but it's very good biggest flaw is probably the somewhat broken English sometimes but that might be on purpose.
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!!!
This game is really enjoyable! The mini-games are varied and fun, and I hope that more will be added in the future. The story is interesting, but it could be explained a bit more clearly
Pros: - Cool, eerie atmosphere. - I like Ba Bị’s character design. - Diverse minigames that test different skills (language, logic, math, etc.). - Good replayability thanks to multiple characters. - Overall, it’s more fun than the trailer makes it look. Cons / Suggestions: - Some parts of the tutorial aren’t very clear (though the gameplay itself is simple, so you’ll get the hang of it after a try or two). - The story could be more fleshed out. You don’t really understand what happened until the end. - The game can currently be completed in just a few hours. Hopefully more content will be added in the future.
