The Beginner's Guide

De alguma forma esse jogo fez sentido, de alguma forma ele vai fazer sentido pra vc tbm, jogue.

You should experience this game. Do not listen to anyone who calls it metatextual drivel, or a meaningless walking simulator, their interpretation is entirely detached from the point of this work. I sincerely urge you to spend ~90 minutes, a small amount of your time, and experience it for yourself. If you are someone who struggles with their art, or needs to validate what validates them, you should experience this game. If you are someone who does not understand how to go on with what you make, you should experience this game. If you simply wish to understand a new perspective, you should experience this game. In terms of the contents, all I will say is: the 'Davey' presented in this game is detached from the real person, and is not fully indicative of his current thoughts/beliefs. It does, however, likely represent a large part of him, at least in the past. I will say, one last time, you should experience this game.

$10 wasted and an hour of my life gone

Best short narrative story, you have to play this blind, trust me.

Arcydzieło. Nie sądziłem, że w tak krótkim formacie (jak na grę) można zmieścić aż tyle. Jeżeli masz w sobie chociaż cień wrażliwości i potrafisz się zainteresować drugą osobą to serdecznie polecam.

中评。作品在概念上很值得被认真对待，可惜在体验上没有打动我，只觉得心累。一次次被送到新的场景，需要重新适应，需要阅读那些莫名其妙的对话，还要做出回应。这都在持续消耗精力，但这些投入几乎没有意义。无论怎么选，都不影响后续，只能/只需按着既定流程走完。 它高明的地方在于，它建立的不只是作品与玩家之间的关系，而是把创作者本人、作品、评判者和玩家一起拉进来，形成一种多方关系。这确实是一个很聪明的切口。只是对我来说，它始终有些形式大于内容。主题与形式有关联，不代表形式本身就是高明的。我理解它意图通过这种方式，去模拟那种对他人或作品的过度解读、自说自话和误读感。它显然不只是想“讲”这个主题，而是想让玩家亲身经历那种滞涩和徒劳。但我依然不认为这需要让玩家花两个小时的重复劳动来传达。
