### BY Everything Unlimited LTD

*The Beginner’s Guide*, a followup from the creator of *The Stanley Parable* (which is a game about games) is a videogame about the people that make them. Somewhere amidst all that game-ness is the portrait of a person, a friendship, and a community of people who are still figuring out how to create and even talk about this thing they love. Voiced by the designer himself, Davey Wreden, *Beginner’s Guide* sets you out on a journey to understand Davey’s friend, Coda, through a series of interactive art Coda made between 2008 and 2011\. At the center of every game within this game is a simultaneous sense of being part of a larger conversation and a resounding loneliness. By sifting through Coda’s messy pile of unfinished ideas and concepts abstracted beyond recognition, Davey reveals the beautiful chaos of creation. And perhaps something more.

**Perfect for:** Existential types, game makers, creators

**Playtime:** An hour
