So, this might just be the most exciting game scheduled for release in 2018. It’s definitely the funniest.
Not Red Dead Redemption or Spider-Man or Far Cry 5, but a game where your job is to control a goose. A horrible, horrible goose.
Untitled Goose Game comes from an indie Australian studio and the trailer shows the myriad ways you, as a goose, can drive a groundskeeper closer and closer to the edge.
The game comes from House House, whose only other release features centipede-like humans – joined at the waist – playing a game of football. So by comparison this plucky goose is quite normal.
Untitled Goose Game appears to be a puzzle game, with the player tasked with ticking things off the goose’s list of objectives – like getting the groundskeeper wet and making him put on his sun hat – by using things in the environment.
There’s even a button just for your honk, which is inspired, and a snippet at the end seems to hint at multiplayer. Geese. Plural!
Paired with what sounds like a stellar soundtrack, this game looks set to be very fun.
