About
n00bs guide is a narrative walking sim told through a Youtube playlist. Funny, introspective and painfully earnest, play through a series of bizarre mods and community maps, trying to understand what was really important about the time spent with your friends.
n00b's guide is a narrative-focused walking sim told through a pre-teen's YouTube FPS let's-play series. It's an experimental game with no traditional mechanics or goals. Instead, it invites players to run, slide and shoot through a collection of bizarre in-world mods and community maps as the narrative unfolds.
A Short Experience
The game takes roughly 40 minutes to play through, told from the perspective of a 30-something year old revisiting her cringe YouTube videos that she made with her friends as a tween. You play out the series of let's play videos as the narrator reflects, unravelling what was really important about the time she spent online with her friends.
Retro-Inspired Movement Shooter
n00b's guide features a fun movement system inspired by early shooters and their unintended exploits. Dive, slide, roll and long jump around spaces reminiscent of early 2000's community-created FPS maps. The levels are infused with esoteric and poetic in-world 'mods' that subvert expectations of the genre.
