Chaos, Thy Name Is Goose.

Geese, as the saying goes, are assholes, and few works of fiction illustrate this quite like Untitled Goose Game.

Playing as the eponymous feathery bastard, your objective is to harass, annoy, and otherwise pester the people of a quiet West Country village. You do this with remarkable aplomb considering you are a domestic farm bird who cannot fly, and must make do with a combination of honking loudly and stealing nearby objects.

Its main selling point is the Comedic Sociopathy, in that there are a multitude of ways for the titular goose to inconvenience others, ranging from the merely amusing (honking at villagers to distract them) to the downright sadistic (terrify a young boy into hiding in a phone booth, steal his glasses, make him trip and fall, generally bully him). The graphics are simple yet functional, the music is pleasant but limited, and the plot is neither particularly sensible nor particularly deep. However, it is an unfortunate fact that once you've done everything you can to disrupt the lives of the village folk, the game loses a lot of its engagement value.

However, if you want to have fun as an obnoxious honking git out to ruin everyone's day largely For the Evulz, there's few better ways to do it than Untitled Goose Game, and this one won't get you cited on disorderly conduct charges.
