You might be asking, what the hell is the beginners guide?
Go here and find out

What? Skeptical? Well…
This is the follow-up to Stanley’s parable.
This is not the follow-up to Stanley’s parable.
This will come out tomorrow.
This will not come out tomorrow.
This is a narrative driven game.

(It’s out! Recommendation, don’t watch gameplay or see reviews. So far the steam reviews say play it for your selves.)

I must admit, I did not see this coming. When I saw the PC Gamer article about it, I was like “Oh, okay then. I guess that’s a thing.” I might just buy it when it comes out tomorrow…

I just hope Mr.Brighting-Senpai makes a return~

4

Stanley was such a great game. I hope this one is just as cool to play as the previous one

5

OK I fucked up. I’m not gonna spoil why this game deserves GOTY, but still…Go play this game. You’ll love it.

6

Can you put a spoiler warning on that, please? You just ruined the surprise for me.

7

It’s not really a spoiler. The whole game revolves around it. It’s not the surprise at all. I nearly shit myself when I got to the end and realized what was going on.

8

Still, I wanted to find out for myself that it was a guide on game design. I haven’t even looked at the game yet.

9

It’s takes nothing away from the experience. It literally tells you like 30 seconds into the game and is by far not what the game is as a whole. There’s another thing that could be said, however, that would completely ruin the entire game.

10

Okay. Well, I don’t have the game yet, so I didn’t know it was told in the first 30 seconds.

11

Well, that’s why I said it wasn’t a spoiler. It sounded like you didn’t have it (or at least hadn’t played it yet), so I was assuring you that the game hadn’t been spoiled for you.

12

Okay, thank you. I apologize for the confusion.

13

It happens. Welcome to the internet. lol

EDIT: Just realized that I missed the perfect opportunity to made a Genesis joke. Grr.

14

Just finished this game, still questioning life brb

Don’t worry, no spoilers in this post.
Also: Looking for secrets, someone said that pressing 9 will crash the game on most levels but opens dialogue if pressed at the right time. Didn’t specify when that was though.

Plus I was looking through the files and I found a curious “crashthegame.txt” file under “beginnersguide/trees”

go
{
	Make sure you are running the game at 1280x800
	Opt1: Please! Where is the machine! [play game6a]
	Opt2: Please! Where is the machine! [play game6a]
	Opt3: Please! Where is the machine! [play game6a]
}

game6a
{
	i ate it
}



[go]

This looks like the standard text format for other dialogue in the game, so I tried getting to run the game at 1280x800 and I was having a real hard time with it.

16

I also finished the game. I think. It crashed at the epilogue.

17

Rip, you didn’t see why its GOTY for me. I would go to chapter select. And play the epilogue. Sadly it will kind of be ruined, considering you had time to think.

18

Not really. Because I immediately forgot about it and just went to playing Pokemon on my 3DS.

So I just finished watching the Evening with Sips episode on this game. Got very uncomfortable with the thing toward the very end. What a ride. It’s definitely…something, what…I don’t quite know.
