Australian indie developer House House (Push Me, Pull You) dropped a trailer on Monday for their next title, an untitled honk-em-up in which you play a goose that terrorises a village garden.
The trailer features a wily goose making a nuisance of itself in a public garden in an attempt to achieve various objectives. Stealing the groundskeeper’s hat and hiding it in a bush. Honking to scare the groundskeeper and pinching his keys in the confusion, using them to break into his supply cupboard. Pinching a variety of food and drink and setting them up for a private picnic. Running away with a radio blasting yacht rock. It appears it’s entirely up to you to decide how you want to mess with this poor bastard’s day.
Despite not having a title or being due for release until next year, we’re prepared to give it Game of the Year 2018 because we haven’t laughed that hard at a trailer in a while.
“Press X to Honk”? It belongs in a museum.
We love video games. Australian video games doubly so. House House, we salute you.
