The Beginner's Guide

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

One of the most touching games ever.

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。

If you see a review of this game genuinely wondering whether it's fiction or non-fiction, immediately discard any and all opinions held within. The answer becomes obvious once you finish the game. If a person does not have an adequate amount of media literacy to discern that, it's very likely most of their other opinions about the game are equally worthless. [spoiler] Originally I was gonna write a humorous negative review being all like "I can't believe you would do that to Coda. I will never forgive you." but the amount of people who genuinely believe Coda is a real person and not just a character is already way too high. [/spoiler] Honestly, usually I don't read other reviews of a game before making my own, but since I found the plot of this one so fascinating I wanted to see what other people had to say about it and... hoo boy, was that a mistake.

I... Wow... I cannot recommend this game enough

This game felt like a beginner's guide.

Мораль уровня детских книжек. Я отказываюсь верить, что кто-то действительно мог проникнуться этой "историей", даже учитывая все возможные интерпретации, объяснения и контекст создания "игры".

我一般不给一个游戏差评，但是这个游戏42元 开头确实很吸引我，在废弃项目中穿行，去拼凑一个创作者灵魂的探索感，加上很多个人原因，这种随意的创作让我内心有一些波动，确实很有魔力 但是遗憾的是，这种好感直接光速滑坠了，比Romain Grosjean飞向巴林的护栏还快速，震惊，让人难受 随着进程推进，原本那种克制且高级的叙事迅速滑坡，转变为一种令人强迫的、自我感动式的自我剖析。游戏后半段那种按着玩家的头，用神秘的叙事强迫你进入他预设的伤感逻辑里的做法，让整部作品从深刻直接变成了矫情 如果创作者不是Davey Wreden，说不定很多人觉得这个和elephant stranding差不太多 如果你喜欢撕心裂肺的嘶吼，或者自我伤感自我攻略，那么这个甚至带点青春疼痛文学的感觉的神秘游戏或许你会喜欢
