Everyone’s Tapping Into Their Horrible Side Thanks to the Consequence-Free Untitled Goose Game

The goose is loose in Nintendo’s new Untitled Goose Game and it’s causing quite the stir on the internet. After the video game company released Untitled Goose for Nintendo Switch, Mac, and PC on Sept. 20, the game’s titular bird protagonist quickly became a viral star.

In the days since Untitled Goose’s debut, Twitter users, including celebrities like Chrissy Teigen, have taken to the social media platform to express their admiration for the game’s delightfully bizarre premise, which asks players to assume the role of a mischievous goose wreaking havoc on a quaint English village.

“You are a goose let loose on an unsuspecting village,” the game’s description on Nintendo’s website reads. “Make your way around town, from peoples’ back gardens to the high street shops to the village green, setting up pranks, stealing hats, honking a lot, and generally ruining everyone’s day.”

Apparently we all stan a waterfowl icon who does what it wants when it wants.

you should be able to play a horrible goose in every video game. let me honk at elves or supersoldiers or whatever other video games have

Sometimes video games speak to the very heart of existence. For instance, how am I, a mere goose, supposed to get this dude to wear his garden hat while I steal his radio?

Untitled Goose Game is so popular because it appeals to humanity's two most basic, primordial desires that have been with us since the dawn of time: to bully nerds and to be a goose. pic.twitter.com/MHmaRM7TrI

goose game appears to be tapping into the 20-30's crowd's desire to rebel and indulge in absurdity without causing physical harm and that's beautiful
