Australian developer House House recently shared an untitled goose game that allows players to take on the role of a "horrible goose" that is pestering a gardener who is simply trying to go about his daily tasks. In a short video released by the developer, the goose can be seen stealing objects and running around with them, taunting the gardener and dropping perfectly prepared sandwiches into the water.
Beyond giving gamers a kick out of pestering others, the gameplay challenges players to be stealthy, solve puzzles and more.
Although the game is not yet currently available for play, the untitled goose game from the developer of 'Push Me Pull You' is set for a release in 2018.
