(It’s also probably the silliest idea in a silly game, who is imposing these time limits on the goose?)Įxtremely light on story, which is fine, it’s not a story game. You have to work quite hard (and also be pretty lucky) to streamline your nuisance-making to fit it in tight time-limits.

Where the biggest challenge comes in the game is later advanced objectives when you have a time-limit for completing a series of tasks. Some of the challenges are pretty straightforward, others take some experimentation, but generally it’s pretty low-stakes since the worst thing that generally happens is that a human takes back a thing you stole and puts it back where it was originally. Very cute, the instrumental music cranks up in intensity when someone starts chasing you, and the HONK noise is amusing enough that I usually just walked around honking whenever I wasn’t trying to be stealthy. This is a diverting and silly game, and it’s fun to have a game where your main objective is to be rather annoying, but the stakes are not earth-shaking by any stretch of the word.Ĭute cartoony style, even if it is a little creepy that none of the humans have eyes. For instance, one of the objectives in the first area is to make a man wear a different hat… but how do you do that? Both the hat on his head and the other hat hanging on a hook are out of your reach.

There is also a puzzle element to the game, as many of the objectives give you a general idea what needs to be done but not HOW to do it. As the villagers are trying to go about their daily business tending gardens, running pubs, and otherwise going on about their lives, you are the goose among them causing them endless inconveniences, stealing their things and move those things to other places, honking and scaring them at inconvenient times, and otherwise just generally making their days unpleasant.ĭifferent villagers respond differently to seeing you–though generally most of them will chase you to retrieve their things if they see you stealing them, so much of the game is based on looking inconspicuous until their back is turned and then stealing and running off before they notice.
You are a goose with a purpose, and that purpose is a seemingly arbitrary handwritten list of objectives written on lined notebook paper wherein the only unifying seems to be “to be a nuisance”. “It’s a lovely morning in the village, and you are a terrible goose” is the line that starts the game. Untitled Goose Game is a 2019 puzzle stealth game developed by House House in which you are a goose generally making a nuisance of yourself in a small village.
