Art that does not wish to be gazed upon, or at least bears the pretense as such, is always fascinating. The purpose of this interrogation of the audience in 'The Beginner's Guide' is to disrupts a common way of thinking and talking about art, and indeed games in specific. Whereas Davey Wreden's previous title 'The Stanlely Parable' was concerned with the structures of games, 'Beginner's Guide' is concerned with the function that creating and playing games serves in our lives and how that is reflected within our interactions with other humans beings, and delivers these concerns through a compelling collection of experimental levels and a deeply personal and well-performed narrative.
