![]() It’s all played by a piano but in different octaves making it relatively easy to distinguish between different moods of people. There’s a theme for every person, every occassion, and for the goose. In Untitled Goose Game, we’ve got something similar going on. ![]() The rabbit being small and nimble had a theme played by flutes, while the duck or the goose was rather sluggish and played by an oboe. Back then we learned about Sergei Prokofiev, a composer and pianist, who turn “ Peter and the Wolf” (russing: «Пе́тя и волк») into a music piece where every critter, every animal and every person had a theme that fit their characteristics. It all reminded me of a ‘ symphonic fairy tale‘ we’ve learned about in music class back in seventh grade. The sound-design is another thing that is bringing life to the game! Everywhere you go, a ton of things are moving or at least movable, making the game very lively, despite the canvas-ness of it – and on top of it all objects that you’re able to move around, make sounds of their own, which is really cool! It kind of makes the whole game feel a lot less evil and quite a lot friendlier! While overall minimalistic, there’re still tons of details in the animation.įor example, when walking through the bushes, that kind of look like they’ve been painted onto a canvas, I saw tons of small leaves moving, which I found really fabulous. The game uses a pastel-ish colour-palette, which I found rather cute. Well, artstyle-wise, generally speaking, it looks like a painting. You’re like a Poultrygeist, messing with people that are just following their daily routine. It feels like a mix between the Hitman Games and Goat Simulator… but with a goose. In the next few areas, things get a bit more complicated with a boy being scared of you, a grumpy shopkeeper having a broom and some ill-winged pub-stuff that are goose-o-phobic and won’t let you in by normal means! It’s getting trickier little by little, sometimes you might need to hide more or distract people from somewhere else, you also sometimes need to just lurk in the shadows, observing your prey, finding out what their patterns and habits are before you finally STRIKE! I guess it’s all rather harmless as it’s not violent in any way (apart from one task where you need to make some people fall on their bum, later on, or have the gardener hit his thumb with a hammer) but overall you never really feel like an asshole, maybe a bit douchey or just mischievous but you’re not the worst person (or should I say bird?) ever for doing those things. What’s interesting is the fact that you get a ton of ways to complete some of the tasks, which I really wing! For instance, you need to get the gardener wet which is accomplished in a lot of different ways! Even getting his hat off and replacing it with a sun hat can be done in an easy way or a few alternative ways. There’re some rather harmless tasks like making him wear his sunhat and entering the garden and some ducknically meaner tasks like stealing his tools and throwing them into the lake or using items from his garden to have a picnic in the park. In the first area, you’re messing with a gardener. I found this aspect of unlocking new paths for you to travel back quite interesting as you’re able to “replay” some levels, too, when you’re in the mood for that. It’s all one neighbourhood but you can get everywhere without completing the previous areas and then opening the doors to new paths. The game has a lot of varying areas that get unlocked over time. Using tab, you can access the tasks that you need to complete to be able to leave the current area. You’re also able to sprint with Shift and Zoom In/Out using A and S if you’re not comfortable with using the Mouse for all of your controls. You basically only use your mouse for the controls, except for when you want to spread your wings (X – Although I haven’t found any use for that yet except for bragging, I guess?) or when you want to honk (Space – quite useful! And it adds a lot to the game!). ![]() It’s relatively simple and easy to pick up. Right when you start the game on one of your three save files, you’ve got a small little tutorial where the game explains to you how to duck, sprint, honk, and do other things that are quite useful to know. and I must say, this game is a real firequacker! Developer: House House You play as a Goose (duh.) that is leaving the park’s pond to be a douchebag. It came out two days ago and, Geesus Christ, it’s fun! Of course, I’m talking about Untitled Goose Game, a hilarious stealth-game (I’d say?) where you pull small little pranks on the people around you and annoy them as much as possible. Yesterday I bought a game on the Epic Games Store.
