User:The bellman

G'day The bellman is a character from The Hunting of the Snark by Lewis Carroll. I live in the Blue Mountains, Australia. Today's featured article Domestic goose, like the character in Untitled Goose Game Untitled Goose Game is a 2019 indie puzzle stealth video game developed by House House and published by Panic Inc. Players control a goose which bothers the inhabitants of an English village. Players must use the goose's abilities to manipulate objects and non-player characters to complete objectives. Inspired by Super Mario 64 and the Hitman series, the game combines stealth mechanics with a lack of violence to create humorous scenarios. It was released for macOS, the Nintendo Switch, Windows, the PlayStation 4, and the Xbox One. The game's unusual name came from a last-minute decision during preparation for entry to a games festival. The music uses short clips from six of Claude Debussy's Préludes. Untitled Goose Game received positive reviews, with critics praising its gameplay and humour. The game received the D.I.C.E. Award for Game of the Year and the Game Developers Choice Award for Game of the Year, among other accolades. Dan Golding, who curated the game music, was nominated for an ARIA award. By the end of 2019, Untitled Goose Game had sold more than a million copies. (Full article...)
