Stuart made this joke about the goose and we had a laugh about it, and then we said, “Okay, let’s go back to more serious ideas.” But when that didn’t quite work, we finally said, “Oh, what about that goose thing?” Eventually we turned around and realized that it could be a serious idea, a viable game. We were very interested in depictions of community and having this character that you could puppeteer so you could embody this physical thing. Strasser: When we were finishing our last game, Push Me Pull You, We had a lot of different ideas floating around for our next game.

What was the motivation for turning the funny goose into a game? There’s a big distance between “this image is funny” to wanting to make a full game out of it. We all agreed that geese were very funny. There was never really any intention that we should make a game about it, he just saw a stock photo and remembered that geese were funny, like, conceptually. Jacob Strasser: Yeah, that was our colleague, Stuart Gillespie-Cook. The game started when someone just put a picture of a goose into your Slack and said, “Let’s make this a game,” right? I asked them about the uncanny appeal of the goose, how the game developed from its earliest concepts, and the idea of the goose as a leftist icon. Propelling the goose through the pleasant, bucolic environments feels like engaging in some ultimately harmless misbehavior, a playground of sanctioned naughtiness where you’re definitely going to ruin someone’s day, but you’re never going to destroy anyone’s life.Īfter playing through all of Untitled Goose Game in almost one sitting (and forcing myself to stop before starting in on the post-game extra credit), I talked with Jacob Strasser and Michael McMaster, two of the four-person indie game company, House House, which created and developed Untitled Goose Game. Untitled Goose Game is improbably fun, at least in part because of how low-stakes it all is. The worst thing that happens is someone’s thumb gets a little hurt. You break a few things, but nothing all that important. You make some of the villagers do awkward, annoying things to deal with your mischievous shenanigans. You irritate a gardener by stealing some of his belongings. Untitled Goose Game is simple: You, a goose, wander around a small English village and enact mild, hilarious chaos.

Most of the NPC's ignore messes, but only the Tidy Neighbor and the TV Shop Owner care about what is in their areas, and will remove all items from their areas.Suddenly and somewhat unexpectedly, the internet has become obsessed with a game about a goose. When you honk really close to them, they will be suddenly shocked, and will fall to the ground if startled by something "honking" that is not the goose. They can question the duck statue, the mini goose, human models, walkie talkies, even the purple box. When the Goose honks, the Villager's question and will go as far as to find out what is the source of the Honk. When the goose is not around, they will always follow a schedule, unless there is a mess that they need to clean up.] If they cannot find that item or cannot find the source of the honk, they will stratch their head and move on. If you have an item that they own or want, they will start to chase you until they recieve that item. The NPC's all move a little faster than the Goose and some will shoo you out of their respective areas. The NPC's in the game tolerate the goose, but they are not impressed at it mostly, and will try to shoo you away if you honk too much.
