Everyone from Chrissy Teigen to Blink-182 is freaking out about a 'goose game' - one look at the bizarre new game explains why

You could, ostensibly, just float around in the water and hang out in "Untitled Goose Game." You do you, by all means.

But the game sets out a set of very simple tasks, such as forcing a scared child into a telephone booth, or dragging a rake into a lake, or building yourself a goose picnic (out of stolen items from nearby humans).

In so many words, it's a game about cause and effect. You, as a goose, cause havoc, and the humans around you deal with the effects of that havoc.

Between the playful art style, charming music, and silly-looking goose, causing havoc as the goose feels exactly as cathartic as you might expect. It's a sheer joy terrorizing the vaguely British stereotypes of the game's storybook world.

There are no guns, or high scores, or loot boxes to open — it's just you, as a goose, messing with the people of the world in relatively basic ways that almost always made me laugh out loud.

The image above is a perfect example.

The goal was simply stated as "Get on TV" The issue, of course, is you're a goose. What TV? With what camera? Aha, the store with TVs in the front window! But how to get inside?

It's this kind of logical puzzle solving that "Untitled Goose Game" is rife with — but the thing you're solving for, always, is "how to mess with people."
