Goat Simulator
The title is enough to make you take a second look. Yes, a game called Goat Simulator is actually coming out.
After a video hit showcasing some of the alpha gameplay, plenty of laughs and demands were heard across the Internet for Goat Simulator. In the video, people watched a pixelated goat climb ladders, knock over buckets, and run straight into objects. The video soon went viral, encouraging Coffee Stain Studios, the minds behind the recent Sanctum 2, to actually work on finishing the game as soon as possible. It was merely a prototype, but now it's a reality. The developers said they were inspired by old-school skating games, but instead of those fancy skateboarding tricks, they thought it'd be more fun to be a goat and wreak havoc.
Goat Simulator is set to release this spring. You can preorder the game and get early access at Goat-Simulator.com
As seen in the below release trailer and screens, you're in for something...different.
