No, this isn’t a joke — it’s actually happening. Goat Simulator, the game that was never really supposed to be a game, is being released on Steam on April 1. Coffee Stain Studios never really intended for their Global Game Jam experiment to be released, but after millions of people viewed their Youtube videos and wide coverage in the video game press, they finally caved into pressure. And they did it in glorious style as evidenced by the trailer below, which has a disturbingly appropriate track that sounds as wonky as the game itself.
For those who don’t know, Goat Simulator is a 3D physics simulator starring you as The Goat. You can do typical goat stuff, like fling axes and drag your butt around town. I’m fairly confident we’ll be able to go ahead and call Game of the Year century right now. Although it might be a close call with games like Toilet Simulator and Curtain Simulator in the running.
You can preorder Goat Simulator for $9.99. In the meantime, watch the Goat Simulator trailer below.
