RND/ To consider a hot new media genre – “Goose Horror”. Some imaginary screenshots from an Untitled Goose Horror Game:
In the #GooseHorror genre you get to play an ordinary goose, viciously angry at humans. Why? Well, it’s because your sensitive and beautiful head can pick up their cruel inner thoughts and dark wishes. Unfortunately, this often results in you doing their evil bidding against your will.
The ‘horror’ in this genre comes, not just from the various forms of blandly terrifying mischief you get up to in goose form, but from constant sickening anthropomorphization by mean spirited assholes – who in ideological reality are simply acting out their own casual, twisted schadenfreude fantasies through you. (Don’t worry though, little goose – you’ll get your revenge.)
Some sweet, typical in-game examples of freaky, goose-style shit you can get up to under human mis-direction:
“Sure wish a goose would honk one of those parkour guys off a building.”
—
“Imagine if a goose started an avalanche by honking..”
—
“Hilarious if a goose make some whiny kid majorly faceplant.”
—
“Would love to see a goose start a fire at my dumb neighbor’s house.”
—
“If goose got into the hospital and switched off Grandma’s life support, we wouldn’t have to travel hours to see her every Sunday..”
—
“My boss is a dick. If only a goose would give him some unnecessary root canal!”
