It is, despite what the cute and colorful low-poly aesthetic suggests, a stealth puzzle game.Ĭontrolling your goose is typically smooth, though there’s an occasional frustration when fleeing a pursuing villager with a stolen item in your beak that a goose can’t turn on a pin for a quick escape. You can sneak up and grab items off his person or nab other items from the garden while he’s not looking. He’ll mostly ignore your existence, stopping to give you a stern look if you get too close and only chasing you if you steal something that belongs to him. The groundskeeper exists in a somewhat uneasy truce with the goose. Your to do list starts with simply getting through the locked gate and continues on to more difficult tasks like assembling a picnic by pilfering the poor groundskeeper’s lunch. Most of your goose tasks revolve around some combination of theft and comically-timed honking. The goose journey begins in the village gardens terrorizing the groundskeeper. It doesn’t sound like much, until you realize how carelessly the hapless inhabitants of the village leave their possessions lying about, begging them to be stolen. You can run, duck, honk, and pick things up with your beak. The Untitled Goose Game begins with a quick rundown of your goose abilities. There’s mischief to be made in the village and it simply won’t be achieved without one very determined goose. Whether the list is assembled by a goose sentient enough to write in cursive or by an omniscient goose god, I do not know and do not care. What I do know are the five bulleted items on my notebook page titled “to do.” It includes tasks of imminent importance such as “get dressed up with a ribbon” and “do the washing,” which explains the sock soaking. I don’t know the name of the pub or the town or my two unwitting victims because I am a goose.

Which is exactly what this bird proceeds to do.

The string is loose enough that someone, a bird even, could pluck it free and sneak between the two yards in order to steal a pair of socks to dunk in the fountain. Precariously adjacent, it turns out, separated by a fence with a hole patched with boards and a string. In a tiny little English village with one pub and a shop and a name I don’t know are an elderly man and woman whose yards are adjacent.
