![]() Being from Australia where geese are sparse, he admitted the animals don't hit the same nerve for him as they might elsewhere. But again, the response was so massive that they decided to blow it out into the three-ish hour game you can play now.Īs for why they went with a game about a horrible goose, "Geese are just funny," McMaster told NintendoLife. The Melbourne-based House House, which was wrapping up their smaller indie hit Push Me Pull You at the time, ran with the concept and put out a trailer in 2017 that wasn't supposed to be taken entirely seriously. The terrible laundry thief! | House House A solo piano twinkles softly when the bad goose is thinking about getting up to no good, and hits in full chaotic force when the bad goose starts a conflict with a human that doesn't want it around, or gets caught stealing something it shouldn't have. Lastly is the delightful and sparse reactive soundtrack, adapted from Claude Debussy's Preludes, as The Verge reported. Even honking and flapping your wings just to wreak havoc or scare the dumbass village boy brings an impish joy. ![]() In progressive levels, you can leverage items like glass milk bottles or traffic cones to alter the timbre of your honk, or use walkie talkies to scare villagers (heheheheh). It stares back at the people nearby who so blatantly don't want this awful goose around as if it got off on being in places it's not supposed to be. The horrible goose holds itself like only a shitty goose would, staring down at items it dropped from its beak with the same energy your bad, but playful, dog or cat would if it dropped something it knows it wasn't supposed to be messing with at your feet. There is a perverse pleasure in doing all this bad stuff as a storybook cartoon goose bastard, which is heightened by the clever in-game details. If you're a "gamer" who "gets" references, you'll find parts of recent titles like Baba Is You and Donut Country in here. For example, that "have a picnic" job in the first area means you need to collect a laundry list of items and carry them in your beak to your picnic blanket without getting caught by the groundskeeper, lest he take your loot back to where it came from when you reach the next part of the town, you need to think about how to use your environment and its seemingly random items to trick the dumbass neighborhood kid into the phone booth so you can lock him in there, or untie his shoes so you can nab his glasses off his face. Each level's tasks are deceptively complex, and the difficulty jumps fairly significantly from one area to the next. Described by its developers House House as a "slapstick-stealth-sandbox," Untitled Goose Game is basically just a puzzle game that's more sophisticated than it lets on at first glance. You mean, you don't find walking your haughty triangle body around honking at people who hate you fun? Suspicious, but fair. (First-level examples where you terrorize a farm include: steal the groundskeeper's keys, rake in the lake - meaning, drag the groundskeeper's rake into the nearby lake without getting caught - and have a picnic.) However, you can always waddle back into areas that you've cleared but left an item or two unresolved to finish the level off, if you're a completist who couldn't figure out how to get the friggin' groundskeeper wear his sun hat at first. You're the worst - a total jerk! Each setting that you unlock has a to-do list of chaos, a majority of which you have to complete before you can move on to the next area. Sometimes you open gates by finagling latchkeys or honk long enough until someone opens it for you. ![]() ![]() Essentially, you walk your horrible goose around different areas of an English village and trick people into doing stuff for you, or distract them long enough to steal something from them, or disrespect them to the point of ridicule.
