Overview [ ]
AEwVS was inspired by Baldi’s Basics in Education and Learning by mystman12, and the first alpha was released on 9/6/2018, originally a fangame. It seems to have begun as an attempt at a game more horror-like or «advanced» than BBiEaL, starting with many similar characters and mechanics, alongside some characteristic changes, such as the notebooks not stalling the overworld, and others being able to kill the protagonist, but afterwards it began to include many more characters and mechanics, a deeper plot, branching off into its own group and away from BBiEaL.
Today, the game is still undergoing development, and MrDrNose declares that he is not a fan of BBiEaL, and thus that the game is only inspired by it, and is not a fangame. This is partially due to its former stigma as a «Baldi’s Basics fangame» shared by many low-quality game creators, as well as the fact that BBiEaL is the «original» game, and not a game he sees as considerably «higher-quality» to some extent. The game still contains minor references to BBiEaL, most of which make fun of it.

AEwVS follows a young girl named Angellica as she wakes up in an unknown high school and is forced to partake in various classes. However, this school’s teachers and staff are affected by a curse, causing them to become sadistic and willing to brutally punish any student who makes a mistake in their classes. Angellica must escape the cursed school, while avoiding the staff members and demonic creatures who reside there, and uncovering the dark truth behind the school.
Premise [ ]
Since it’s release, it has expanded enormously and gone a lot further than Baldi’s Basics, with more teachers, a larger variety of characters, updated game mechanics, and plenty of deeply-hidden secrets to find. However, people have been losing interest in the game as it got bigger, and the community is slowly increasing, but not much.
The objective of the game is to go through each level, traversing through Viktor’s school while collecting a number of notebooks based on several school subjects, answering problems written in them as they are collected. However, the game itself is «buggy» and glitched out, and so Viktor himself along with other teachers will begin menacing the player after failing to solve impossible equations correctly.
When the teachers angrily pursue the player, the player must learn how to utilize various items for survival, and learn the behavior of other characters in the game such as Mr. Mix or the Head Teacher in order to avoid being killed.
Gameplay [ ]
The gameplay of AEwVS is similar to that of a standard survival game. The player can walk around the school and look around from a first-person view. There are also many different objects that can be interacted with, such as notebooks, lockers, and vending machines, as well as many secondary mechanics, such as crawling, jumping, holding your breath, dual-wielding and equippable accessories.
Another major gameplay mechanic is the items, which can be picked up, thrown, used or sometimes combined with other items to make completely new items.
For more information about the game’s mechanics, see this page.
Reception & Development [ ]
Upon its release, the game was played by multiple popular gaming YouTubers, including Markiplier, for its apparent uniqueness in comparison to other Baldi’s Basics fangames. This was during early stages of development, at which the Discord server had not been created, other social media was not used, there were no other levels or endings, and the game’s story, characters and structure were not decided upon.
Because of this, it was relatively short, and almost all of the YouTubers playing it had not completed the game, due to it being one of many obscure/popular BBiEaL fangames yet to play, as well as it being difficult to figure out because of their failure to play methodically. Most people have only played it once, and shortly after its time in the focus, people stopped playing it.
In these early versions, MrDrNose added everyone he could find on YouTube who’d played the game to the special thanks list, as well as first people he could find who’d found secrets and completed objectives to the Completers and Finders lists. The first person to explore the game more deeply was Neurobew, who found many of the secrets on the first level at the time.
After a while, a small community remained on Itch to post frequently about the game, generally consisting of dedicated players with hours of play time. Because of this, as well as the fact that MrDrNose is highly social, they had been able to find secrets, complete levels multiple times, and have opportunities to appreciate the game and its numerous updates.
After a few months, AbsolLover66, [1] among others, began trying to contact the popular YouTubers who’d played early versions of the game, asking them to play newer versions. A few have responded, but few responders published new videos about the game, and some have declined the offer, or suggested that MrDrNose end development toward AEwVS. Neurobew also streamed the game for two hours, but shortly after that, his channel became inactive as he began to pursue game development.
When the game’s community became noticeably stagnant, FireyDeath4 prompted the launch of a Discord server for AEwVS to keep the community intact and engage in better conversation, which AbsolLover66 carried out. [2] This lead to less frequent comments on Itch, and a more stable community that has been active since then on.
Today, YouTube videos posted about AEwVS generally acquire a few hundred/thousand views, many of which are accumulated by the community. Recent videos about AEwVS posted by popular and dedicated players and showcasers have gained as little as less than a hundred views. The main menu contains links to social media, including Discord, Patreon, YouTube, Twitter and Itch, in order to entice new players into joining the community and server. Fanart and fangames for AEwVS are constantly accumulated in dedicated channels, and there is also a channel for recommending different YouTubers to play the game.
The game used to be updated frequently, with each update replacing and adding new content to the game. However, now that MrDrNose is busy working on UD, it might take an incredibly long time waiting for the next update of AEwVS.

Viktor Strobovski, commonly referred to as Viktor, is the main character of Advanced Education with Viktor Strobovski, and the titular character of the game. He is the first teacher, exclusively teaching mathematics, and is also the host of the Puss Modes and the Christmas Curse event. Generally, he is the main antagonist, but can sometimes be seen acting in protagonistic ways.
Contents
Appearance
Viktor Strobovski visually appears to be an adult male with brown hair dressed in blue shoes, dark brown pants, a red shirt and a light brown business suit. He has a deep and distorted text-to-speech voice and carries a large axe on his back. He wears a black-and-white «comedy» mask over his face at all times, and it’s eventually revealed that this mask is his true face.
While in his true Tarwill form, his body is completely black, and his limbs are able to extend to great distances. If he is especially angry, his mask may also become extremely distorted.
In Alpha 0.27, a new sprite for Viktor Strobovski was added to the game files, drawn by an accomplice of Andrey Fire, a user on the EternityDev Games Discord. However, the creator of this sprite has not developed an evil sprite in almost a year, so it’s unknown if this new style for Viktor will ever be truly added to the game.
Personality
Before he was affected by the Curse, Viktor was quite introverted and quiet, and mainly only opened up to those who talked to him. He also liked to pull pranks on people, such as hiding things, putting a bucket of water on top of the door, etc. Nowadays, he still enjoys pranks when not affected by the Curse, as shown in AEwVS: Christmas Curse, but he is much more talkative and extroverted.
However, while the Curse is affecting him (i.e. most of the time during the main game), Viktor turns into a mindless killer, who murders students against his will in extremely brutal ways. He is also somewhat aggressive towards his victims, calling them expletives and yelling at them when they collect enough notebooks.
Relationships
Viktor seems to get along with most members of the school’s faculty. He especially likes Tiara, who has been his girlfriend since he was in school.
Backstory
When the Tarwill World was infested with the deadly ivy, Viktor was one of the few members of the tarwill species who was able to escape. After escaping, he needed to hide, so he possessed a man he encountered on the street in order to disguise himself as a human, which eventually killed the man. [6] [7] He then walked into a school, planning to disguise himself as a math teacher, but he began to go insane, and when he tried to exit the school from the way he entered he only found more corridors. [8] Therefore, he became trapped in the school, and the Curse slowly took him over.
Abilities
Note: Many of his existing abilities are already natural to tarwills.
- Flesh Disguise: Viktor normally wears a disguise of flesh over his body as he is teaching, and only takes it off when he wants to use his full strength.
- Powerful Strength: Viktor has demonstrated this in multiple instances, such as busting down metal doors with his axe in only a few strikes, catching hold of Marzia and holding her in place indefinitely, and in his true form, he is even able to bust down doors effortlessly at walking speed with his bare hands.
- Regeneration: If Viktor only has his mask remaining, he can completely regenerate his body from it numerous times.
- Defensive Form: If Viktor is in danger or becomes unconscious, he can retract his body into his mask to protect it from further harm.
- Mass Generation: Unlike most tarwills, Viktor is able to generate entirely new body mass at will. [9] This allows him to do things such as extend his arms extremely long distances.
Behaviour
Before Alpha 0.0.6b, Viktor would appear in a long hallway when the game started to warn the player about what the game has to offer, such as violence, derogatory language, bright lights and loud noises, along with a few other things. Afterwards, he would finish up, and disappear back into the hallway.
Math Level
Upon entering the Math Level, Viktor will appear in the welcome room to greet Angellica, introduce himself and tell her to go to the first classroom and use the notebook on the desk. While the protagonist is using it, he will appear in a small window within the notebook to tell the protagonist about what to do and how the notebook collecting system works. In the last example, he encourages the protagonist to meet the other characters around the school, saying they are always glad to meet new people.
If the protagonist answers an example incorrectly on the first notebook at any time (which is inevitable due to the fifth question being glitched), Viktor will become affected by the Curse. He will instantly stop talking, and shortly after, he will pull out his axe and his eyes will begin to glow red, and he will then proceed to pursue the protagonist, taking a few steps at a time. His speed will gradually increase with every question the protagonist answers wrong throughout the level. If the protagonist gets enough answers wrong, Viktor will reach maximum speed, in which he will practically run at them.
If the protagonist gets Viktor’s jacket dirty (by using a soda, moist chocolate muffin or duct tape ball), he will momentarily stop chasing the protagonist and complain that his jacket has been ruined. After that, he will head to the backroom, where he will change into a new jacket for a few seconds. Then he will emerge and continue his chase. Also, if he sees Angell holding a certain type of tarwill mask, he will immediately stop in his tracks and will not continue to chase the protagonist until she stops holding the mask.
If Viktor comes to a door with a neodymium magnet attached to it, Viktor will stop in front of it. He will then repeatedly strike the door with his axe, attempting to break it down. When he has hit the door a certain number of times, it will be bust off of its hinges and thrown onto the ground, allowing Viktor to enter freely.
Once the protagonist has collected a certain number of notebooks (the exact number changes depending on the difficulty level — 8 on easy, 5 on normal and 3 on brainiac), Viktor will announce that he is going to begin walking very quietly, stating that «it will be fun». When Viktor is walking quietly, he cannot be heard at any volume. This makes it much harder to know where Viktor is, especially in rooms with no windows. Everything otherwise will continue to proceed as usual.
When the protagonist finally collects the tenth notebook, Viktor will stop in his tracks once more and congratulate the protagonist for collecting all 10 notebooks. But then he will announce that he isn’t done yet, and that the protagonist must collect the final (eleventh) notebook, remarking it would be the hardest example they had ever seen. After that, he will promptly continue to pursue the protagonist at an even faster rate than before. If the protagonist manages to collect the eleventh notebook without being caught, Viktor will stop chasing her and return to his «nice» form, allowing her to reach the exit. However, once the protagonist reaches the exit door and attempts to open it, Viktor will appear straight behind her, announcing that her quest is far from over, and that they will be sent to the next floor to study another subject.
Language Level
In the Language Level, Viktor can be found standing next to some melon peels and other junk in the director’s room. Throughout this level, the protagonist can choose whether to only collect language notebooks, or to begin collecting math notebooks also. If she decides to do the latter, Viktor will begin to pursue her again, causing her to have to ward off two teachers at once. If all 10 math notebooks are collected, Viktor will stop and congratulate the player. If the protagonist reaches the final chase with Marzia with all 20 notebooks collected, Viktor will appear in front of the elevator and hold back Marzia, giving the player infinite time to input the elevator codes.
Puss Modes
If the protagonist enters the Math Level in «puss mode», Viktor will appear and greet the player as usual, but will begin to follow the protagonist around the school instead of just staying in the same place. In the first notebook, he will appear in a small window and explain to the player how to use the notebooks in a much more condescending way than before. However, if the player tries to enter an incorrect answer, Viktor won’t let them, and instead will let them try again. The fifth question is also no longer impossible and can be answered the same as any other question. Unlike in other modes, the entire school is accessible at all times, although none of the faculty members appear, and Viktor will continue to follow you around throughout the level. Once the player finally collects ten notebooks, Viktor will congratulate them on collecting all ten notebooks, and then tell them to fuck off from his school and play the actual game.
The same thing will happen in the Language Level, as Marzia is apparently busy and can’t teach right now. However, Viktor can’t and won’t stop the protagonist if they ever give any incorrect answers to any Language notebooks. He will also disappear completely after collecting the tenth language notebook, regardless of what the protagonist did.
AEwVS: Christmas Curse
When the level starts, Viktor will appear shortly in the welcome room in his Christmas costume. He will greet the player and tell her to talk to someone as «he» (actually she) will tell her what to do next, stating that he needs to return to his work. He will then leave and head back to the kitchen, locking the door behind him. He will stay there until all the decorations have been placed, supposedly busy wrapping the presents. Once all of the decorations have been placed, he will tell everyone to go to the cafeteria, saying it would be better if everybody hurried a little bit. Everyone will then proceed to head for the table and go to their seats. Viktor will sit at the head of the table.
Once everyone has gathered at the table in the correct positions, Viktor will give a short speech about the year. A bit before he finishes his speech, something will happen, depending on which ending the player has gotten.
If the protagonist hasn’t closed all 10 cracks beforehand, bells will chime, playing a tune, causing the Christmas curse to initiate. The bells will then toll, with all model/object textures slowly becoming less saturated and the room darkening into blood red for every toll. During this, Viktor will leave the table and go into the kitchen again. At the last toll, the entire faculty will vanish, leaving only the protagonist at the table. Every decoration placed (except the wreaths) will also vanish.
At some point, Viktor will break down the door of the kitchen, appearing in his true form, slowly walking towards the protagonist. If he gets close enough to the protagonist, he will stop, and extend his arm towards the protagonist at an extremely fast speed until the protagonist has been stabbed or his arm has hit a wall. If he stabs the protagonist, the protagonist will fall to the ground and die, only to be respawned back at the dinner table with Viktor breaking down the door to the kitchen again. This will continue to happen until the protagonist fills every crack with silver ingots. Once the protagonist has filled every single crack, Viktor will drop down and disappear, leaving only his mask on the ground. The ambience will still continue, but the Watcher will not remind the protagonist about the cracks anymore. Once Viktor has disappeared, and the protagonist reaches the exit door attempting to open it, the bells will toll once again, and Viktor will emerge back from his mask and charge towards the protagonist, his eyes red, his mouth frothy and his mask adorned with black lines. Just before he reaches the protagonist, the bell will toll one final time, flashing light across the screen and destroying the curse, leaving Viktor’s mask once again on the ground. After some time, he will regenerate from his mask, look at the protagonist awkwardly and suggest a cup of tea with everybody.
If the protagonist has closed all 10 cracks before completing all the decorations, the accurser will yell in the background for a few seconds, showing that the curse has been completely destroyed. He will then announce «we did it. But, ackchuyally [sic] , you did it. thank you.» This suggests that he has previously retained knowledge about the curse beforehand. The ending will split again depending on what the protagonist said to Erie about her costume. If the protagonist said the costume was good, she will say «what about me?» and Viktor will assure her that she did it too, and announce that it’s time to give the gifts. If the protagonist said the costume was bad, everything will be skipped and Viktor will go straight to fetching the presents from the present room. After a few seconds, he will come and hand presents over to everyone except Phonty (presumably because Phonty cannot physically open or use presents), ending at Erie, who in turn will state that she didn’t expect that from him of all people, proceeding to open her present. If the protagonist has said the costume was good, she will seem to groan about another one of Viktor’s pranks, with him proceeding to retrieve the real one, mumbling that he forgot to get rid of the fake box. He will then give her the real one, and she will open it. The real present will be revealed to be a pillow cushion with a picture of Jenny Wakeman on it, and she will thank Viktor. If the protagonist has said the costume was bad, she will become highly offended and rant about Viktor pranking her, revealing the fake present to be a piece of paper saying «Perv =D >:D» on it in the process. She will then storm out, causing the Laura to stand up and call Viktor out. Viktor will then leave the cafeteria and retrieve Erie, telling her to stop being grumpy and to go back to the table, going into the present room and giving her the real present after she reseats. Then, Viktor will announce «Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everynyan!»
If the protagonist angers Phonty initiating a Bad Ending, Viktor will tell Phonty to stop it. After Erie tells Phonty that the protagonist didn’t do anything actually wrong, Viktor will complain about him, saying «Uh. Stupid robot. You idiot!»
