also i really like how tonally different it is from the stanley parable.
itd have been so easy to make the beginner's guide basically the same game as it is, but with things like the commentary reacting to your actions, and ive seen a fair bit of disappointment that it wasn't that? but i think (im gonna white out this text for anyone who hasnt played it yet and wants to) it really sells the believability that these aren't daveys games, they're something that he has some respect for, and the one or two jokes there are take place within the games themselves and feel more like something you'd put in for your own amusement rather than for an audience.
