The Beginner's Guide is... Uncomfortable. It's an unusual game that kinda needs to be experienced and, well, sat through. But yeah, I felt it was just barely passing muster for ten bucks. It felt incomplete or missing some critical piece of context, and so it seemed to fall short of whatever it was trying to be (unless that's what it wants us to think... But that way Dragons lie). After playing it, I stumbled across a YouTube comment on Christopher Odd's play-through that linked to a talk the author gave to some college students a year or so ago. It fits so well, I'm calling out spoiler warning. But it's a fine chaser that - at least for me - cleansed the palette and let the game settle. Warning: it's pretty uncomfortable too, but I think it's a damn sight less gnostic.
