"Advanced Education With Viktor Strobovski" alpha 0.1.3

Sigh...Here we go.

No more obnoxious words on the front page. But seriously, you should really read this if you're new here. MrDrNose is still not very good at explaining what the game is like or encouraging people to play.

Anyway, thank you for visiting this game. This message is intended for people that are new to Advanced Education with Viktor Strobovski; specifically, people that have had past experience with Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning (or even Advanced Education with Viktor Strobovski itself, but an older version). It is meant to provide information about what to expect from playing the game. You should be welcome MrDrNose...I think. Please read the next two paragraphs before downloading the game, and the rest if you want more of an explanation.

TL;DR (if you need it): AEWVS is not just a fangame of BBIEAL, even though it really is one. AEWVS is long, has some bugs, needs some dedication (MIX_UP_GAMERS is doing multiple 2-6 hour streams on YouTube but there's instant major spoilers so don't even visit the channel until you're truly ready), needs some creativity, makes you very good at arithmetic if you're dedicated, has tons of secrets and lore, has multiple levels and is anything but child-friendly in both aspects. Also check out the Christmas Curse DLC and the Discord server. The server would explain a lot if you have questions. but even more spoilers...if you're not careful, I mean. I'm pretty sure there are many but the founder doesn't seem to think so.

FIRST: If you're new here, DON'T download any Version 0.1.4 (which includes the New Year's Special) until you've found all the secrets and have verified with the community that you did. It is an experimental alpha version and I am the only one keeping you safe from instant, effortless access to deep secret spoilers and a bunch of maps that will make the game look messy and meaningless once you get there, besides MrDrNose's underwhelming personal notice. They also have a lot of bugs and take away a lot of things, such as options and achievements. Please only download lower versions such as Version 0.1.3 until I convince MrDrNose to lock access manually with a password. Also, once you play it, quite a bit of your save data will from then on not be compatible with any earlier versions. You will have to reset it manually. Ask for more instructions.

So, what's different about AEWVS compared with BBIEAL?

At first glance, it just looks like a fan remake of BBIEAL and it's concept: there's a math teacher, there are notebooks, there's a detention/punishment room, there's a janitor, soda is good, chocolate is good, et cetera. A fangame, if you will. The main "difference" is that there are more mechanics, more school rules, more notebooks, more violence and generally just many more things to make the education "advanced". If you've watched any of the big YouTubers play some of the very first versions of the game, you'll know that it really was one.

That's the problem, too. AEWVS is over a year old, but since it stood out, it gained attention too early. It didn't seem to be much other than just another fangame to be tossed back, but it's not anymore. It still starts roughly the same way as BBIEAL, but it starts following a much different and longer story, with more levels, more subjects and a lot more branched-out lore-related deep secrets to find, and starts becoming - and even does become - something one of it's own.

And since I need to address this...YES, IT IS ACTUALLY A FANGAME, BY DEFINITION. But you know what? That doesn't matter. At all. Don't judge AEWVS solely as a fangame of BBIEAL, the nostalgic edutainment horror parody that got over a million downloads and it's own Steam version in the works. AEWVS doesn't even have that atmosphere in general. It is definitely worth playing (or replaying, if you don't have the latest version), regardless of whether you've played BBIEAL already or not, though there are some things certain people have to watch out for, which will be detailed just in the next section.

What are some things I should be aware of when I start playing AEWVS?

Firstly, unlike BBIEAL, it's not a "clean" game. Its pretty messy, actually. Here's Viktor's scrapped warning about AEWVS:

"Hello. Thank you for playing this game. But I should to warn you before you click play button: game contents loud noises, fast brightening lights, violence, swearing, offensive language, weird speech, weird English, crooked Photoshop, high-poly super mega HD graphics, and spooky moments. So, I warn you. Click "PLAY" button, and let's studying together, because knowledge is power."

Basically, the main thing to be aware of is that the game is intended for mature audiences. Don't get me wrong, 10 year olds probably play this, and personally I think that's fine enough.  But something that's unlisted to be aware of is the, um, sexual references. I didn't know how else to say it, but there are quite a few moderate sexual references throughout the game. Another unlisted thing you should probably know is that parts of the game are connected with satanism. So if you're a Christian like the person that created BBIEAL, you should know to prepare for satanic content and stuff. To be honest, I don't even understand the views of religious people but whatever. Oh and it has memes.

Content warnings out of the way, the game is intended for highly dedicated, creative and strategic players that are okay with lots of trial and error and always try new things, and are also good at analysing and considering hints. Plus, if you're not already a natural at quick, repetitive problem-solving already, the game will make you one. The game also has quite a bit of RNG, so please take that into consideration. Overall, the game really is advanced education,  letting aside the fact that it doesn't fully teach students about subjects (in fact the curriculum is rather shallow).

The game also gets updated regularly, so always come back and check for more updates. (If you've played AEWVS before, but at a much older version, try to see everything in a new light with a fresh perspective. A lot of things that may not have made any sense in an old version will work or make sense in a new one.) Yes, the development is slowing down, but we really are trying to encourage him to keep building on the levels. It might have even come to a halt had I not suggested making a Discord server to bring the community's remnants back together, so you should probably join that. Be careful though, because since it's a realtime general community chat room with new posts on the regular, people have started to become a lot more open and be weirdos. (I said that before by the way, but I said something else "deterring.")  Basically, be ready for literally anything, OK?

That's all you need to know! If you haven't noticed yet, they also have a Christmas Curse DLC, so go check that out. Also if you've seen the wiki about it, please help moderate it again so we can get back mrdrnose's trust on it. (Only canon content in articles please!) Since this is off the front page, there's no need to do this anymore. Bye!

Apologies if this request is kinda redundant, but could you add an option to turn down the volume of the  "jumpscare" sounds? I'm fine with them otherwise, its just that they often hurt my ears due to how loud they are(Head Teacher's angry voice and Viktor's jumpscare especially)

Also, it was posted when I first got to school again lmao

I just fear that, if mrdrnose keeps making versions in this way (sequentially 0.0.9, 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2, 0.1.2a, 0.1.3), he'll eventually get to a hundred before he actually releases the first official version of the game, Version 1.0.0.

Hmm

I think I'm still gonna do 0.1.2 often just to get endings more easily.
But yes this version oughta do good
