At the gate is the burly landlord who will shoo you away if you try and enter. A good example is when you have to get into the grounds of a pub. Other tasks require more thought but are never too difficult to be able to succeed. Some objectives are very basic, you can acquire the item pretty easily through stealthy tactics while the villager is doing their task, or instead, you can distract them by moving another one of their prized possession before return to the one you want once they are investigating what you’ve just done. There is a great deal of variety to achieve your goals. That carrot the gardener just took off you is yours and yours alone! Sometimes you have to get creative to avoid detection and this is where Untitled Goose Game is at its strongest. Being the resilient and vile creature that you are, you don’t ever give up. If spotted, the villager will react realistically and will give chase, often catching up to you and snatching the item back before returning to their normal daily routine once again. The tasks in Untitled Goose Game often have you stealing various items from the villagers. Quite simply, you are provided with a checklist of tasks to complete, and in doing so, a new section of the village opens up to be explored, allowing you to unleash further mischievousness on the residents of this quaint rural village. Not only is it the one and only goose simulator around, but it also acts as a very entertaining puzzle game leaning heavily on stealth elements. The concept of Untitled Goose Game is an incredibly simple one. I’m truly thankful that Untitled Goose Game has you play as the mischievous bastard goose which can unleash all its hostility on others, rather than having you as the helpless victim while the goose haunts your nightmares. My experience of making any eye contact with geese goes a little something like this: honk… *Goose gives you the evil eye*… Honk!… *Goose gives you a final warning to not step an inch closer*… HONK HONK HONK HONK!!!!!!!!… *Goose charges at you followed by an onslaught of attacks towards your shins and private parts!* If you’re ever accosted by a group of geese, all I can say is that you better have good life insurance! Oh and never stray too close to them, especially when they have their little goslings with them, or you can expect to feel their wrath. Don’t be fooled thinking they are calm and collected like swans. Now, where do I start with the rather aptly named ‘ Untitled Goose Game‘ from developer House House? I’m not a fan of geese and my distaste for them largely stems from my University days where I had to walk to my campus past a lake full of the vicious beasts.
