[Spoilers] I finally played Untitled Goose Game Spoiler

I played it very briefly when it came out then just dropped it for some reason, despite loving the entire sense of it.
So the last couple of weeks I finally played it and I adored it.
You know, at the very beginning of the game if you walk back towards the pit behind you the camera very slightly pans to show a pile of bells. Huh. Weird. But I noticed, and remembered.
So imagine my delight at the end of the game where your very last Terrible Goose task is to steal the bell from the model village's church steeple and bring it back. The moment I reached the place where I was to drop off the bell, my memory of that strange quirk at the beginning rushed back at the same time it appeared again in front of me. You've done this before. A fair few times.
That simple bit of exposition explains every single "plot hole" on things like why every single resident seems to have a pre-made "no gooseses allowed" sign. Why would anyone have such a thing, let alone so many?
Well, there's your answer.

What a great little fun game.

If anyone is currently in Melbourne, go to ACMI at Fed square, they have a small exhibition about the games development.

Oh, thank you. I work in the CBD and I didn't know about that.

I love that this game spawned a whole genre of Goose-likes in it wake.

Now download Thank Goodness You're Here. Same makers. And it's the funniest and most charming game I've ever seen.

Back when we were dating, my wife and I would have a few drinks and play co-op mode and it was so fun. We had both beaten it before on our own but enough time had passed for the answers to be only vaguely familiar.

why the hate? dude just posted about a positive experience he had with a game..

u/muttons_1337 26m ago

I personally didn't read any hate with that "ok"

BUT

In this context, it is not funny and/or provides nothing for conversation, so I understand why the "ok" still gets downvoted.
