The Beginner's Guide

About the Game

The Beginner's Guide is a walking simulator, which was published in 2015 by Davey Wreden. The game presents itself as a collection of an anonymous developer named Coda, and is narrated by Wreden himself, who does some minor edits while the player is 'walking through' the levels. Therefore the game can be related to several topics of the game studies: there are certain levels of self-reflexivity and meta media, the question of authorship in video-games and playability in general.
