The Beginner’s Guide – Part 1
Andre wasn’t around for our usual Mafia 3 recording session. So I took the free time in my schedule to play something I have been meaning to stream for a while now.
Let us play The Beginner’s Guide.

I would not be surprised if you’ve never heard of The Beginner’s Guide before, despite how famous creator Davey Wreden has become off the back of The Stanley Parable. In any other circumstance, a game of this nature, from a famous indie developer, would have been catnip for game critics across the globe. Unfortunately, it was release less than two weeks after Toby Fox brought Undertale into the world, and we were in the middle of Undertale mania (as a minor correction of my intro). Any interest or analysis of The Beginner’s Guide was quickly set aside in the game of that one game your friend won’t stop memeing about even though it’s been over a decade.
That’s a shame, because even now The Beginner’s Guide resonates strongly with me. It is a fundamentally human work, more than anything else.
And I hope it resonate with you in a similar way.
