Baldi's Highschool, a fan-made horror game, offers some basic cognitive engagement through spatial awareness and memory as players navigate the school and evade threats. It also requires some reaction time for quick responses. The game's core mechanic, derived from Baldi's Basics, involves rudimentary math challenges.
