Untitled Goose Game is an action-puzzle game developed by House House and published by Panic. It features sandbox-style gameplay where you play as a honking goose who loves causing mischief. Your mission: waddle around a placid British village and ruin everyone’s day. It is an utterly inane game, devoid of even the slightest trace of story. About This Game 'Dude, Stop' is a puzzle game, where the main goal is to not follow the rules and make everybody hate you. Break it, abuse it, skip the tutorial, ignore tips and tricks in the loading menu and - most importantly! - mute the narrator. For example, stop reading this paragraph and skip to the next one. You're still reading.

Dude, Stop is a Puzzle Game developed and produced by Team HalfBeard. It received a Steam release on June 1, 2018.
The game asks the player (literally, in the form of fully voiced narration) to perform a series of small puzzles, such as placing a stamp in the correct spot on an envelope, or wearing sandals without socks. However, the true goal is to intentionally mess up as much as possible.
Place the Tropes above this...no, not below, darn you!
- Actually Pretty Funny: If you can somehow balance a Christmas Tree upside down on its tip in the last pick, you get an achievement, the creator accepts it as a correct answer, and actually permits himself a laugh at the silliness.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The narrator's D.U.C.K. program ends up gaining self-awareness and a desire to show others how to solve puzzles as badly as the player.
- The Bet: There's one between the narrator and his friend on whether or not the player will succeed at the puzzles.
- Bilingual Bonus: Played with. After failing the sixth pack, the narrator may pull this snark:Narrator: Yeah, you learned nothing. Sprechen Sie English, por favor?
- Bland-Name Product: In one puzzle, you have to make a sandwich with the creator's 'Favorite Chocolate Cream.' Low-res pixel graphics or no, the jar that's used is pretty blatantly a jar of Nutella.◊
- Break the Haughty: AND HOW. The entire game is a constant dragging-session towards the creator.
- Blamed for Being Railroaded: While the player can choose to follow instructions some of the time, the very first series of puzzles are impossible to succeed at due to the narrator being too busy with a phone call to explain them. The player is then blamed for ruining everything and kicked out of the game, until the narrator realizes he may have been acting a tad too harshly. Unlike most games with this trope, however, the overall narrative isn't on the side of the narrator.
- This continues throughout the game. There's several points where a 'good guy' run is impossible, and you HAVE to go back and fail puzzles you previously won on before the game lets you progress.
- Book-Ends: The creator completely loses his patience with you and smashes you to a game-over screen twice in the game. Once at the beginning when you fail the 4 unwinnable challenges, and again at the end when The D.U.C.K. uploads its database and pings all of his friends via email about it.
- British Stuffiness: The narrator, though it tends to come across as 'whiny-ness' more often than not.
- Collection Sidequest: There are a series of puzzle pieces scattered throughout the various puzzle packs that are needed to unlock a trophy.
- Companion Cube: The photos in the second album on the narrator's phone heavily implies he's obsessed with cups, to the point where he dated, married, and started a family with one of them.
- Curse Cut Short: Both at the start and the end of the game when the creator completely loses his rag with you.'You NASTY PIECE OF-' *Sudden Silence* Thank you for playing!
- Failure Is the Only Option: At the end of pack 7, the player is tasked with destroying the D.U.C.K. The final step to doing so involves 2 buttons, 1 labeled 'Blue', and 1 labeled 'Red', and the player is instructed to click the 'Blue' button. However, the 'Blue' button is colored red and the 'Red' button is colored blue. In the end, it doesn't matter which button you click, as both of them are considered the 'Red' button, and as a result the D.U.C.K. doesn't get destroyed.
- Fun with Acronyms: After a certain point, the narrator attempts to use a program called D.U.C.K., with a rubber ducky for a logo, to prevent the player from ruining the puzzles.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: The narrator implemented the D.U.C.K. to curtail the player's bad solutions, but because it's so buggy it winds up learning from the player's bad behavior and starts preventing good solutions instead, becoming an even bigger menace to the narrator.
- Jerkass: The developer is an extreme control freak who won't allow you to do anything fun if he has his way.
- Let's Play: One was done by Markiplier, and can be seen here.
- Minigame Game: Each 'pack' contains various minigame-like situations that the player can choose to screw up or not.
- Nice Hat: Well, 'nice' — the avatar gets a recognizable 'a-tooth' Red Sox 'Scumbag Steve' hat in a few scenarios where it's possible to do it wrong and behave like a jerk. In one case, when it comes to leaving a house, you can spray on a scent and get a nice-looking hat... then ladle it on and it's 'Scumbag' again.
- Noodle Incident: It's not specified exactly what the bet is, or what the stakes are. However, given that the creator opts to skip the country rather than endure his side of the bet, one can only guess how bad it is.
- Ominous Visual Glitch: The first sign that using the D.U.C.K. might have been a bad idea is when the screen starts to glitch heavily during it's loading sequence. Similar distortions also appear on the screen whenever the duck modifies something within the game's code or shifts control away from the narrator.
- Pastiche: The 'player vs. narrator' style feels reminiscent of The Stanley Parable, but with a less endearing antagonist.
- Poke the Poodle: To fail a puzzle, the player has to do things like choosing Comic Sans as a font, stepping on cracks, or letting a phone charge up to 99.9%.
- Rage Against the Author: Defying the in-game developer persona is the main point.
- Sanity Slippage: You can distinctly notice the developer getting more frustrated and frantic as time goes on until he eventually ends the game in a scream of psychotic rage.
- Shout-Out: One of the results of winning the walking game is a Monty Python gag.'You reminded me of that Ministry of Silly Walks!...But I'm sure you have no idea what I'm talking about.
- When opening the Exam pack for the first time, the narrator does a mockup of 'The 3 little pigs'. One of the pigs is green, and he steals a bunch of bird eggs and regrets it.
- 'The Reason You Suck' Speech: The narrator gives these out whenever the player intentionally fails the majority of a puzzle pack.
- Villain Respect: Very occasionally, your wrongdoing can get some legitimate respect from the creator. A notable example is when cutting a pizza, cutting it in a way that produces 11 pieces with 4 straight cuts.'Whoa, 11 Pieces! I'm not even mad, that's amazing!' Failure text: MAXIMUM EFFORT
- Worthy Opponent: The creator, later on in the game, seems to enjoy seeing how the player is capable of creatively failing between his anger at failure toward simple tasks. He also treats the player slightly more amicably if you play the game after beating it, after his plan to leave the country failed.
- Written Sound Effect: The game accommodates for people playing it with the sound off by illustrating some sound effects. Or in one case, the lack thereof.
- You Are Number 6: The player is usually identified by the narrator as Tester #17 - even though, earlier in the game, the narrator mentions that only fifteen people played the game before you.

Wow! Chapter 4 is VERY heavy. I can't say more without spoilers but I'm going to need some time to recover after that.
asking Jenny to the dance doesnt register correctly, in summary it says you didnt ask her, nomatter what you do. love the game so far.
A bug in the summary is causing the issue, and will be fixed in the next release. Thanks :)
This is the most wholesome sex visual novel game that I ever played. All the characters are lovable and I don't know how you're able to manage to all the characters. Good story and I can't wait for the future update.
Jane is so nice, I just want to hug her all the time lol.
This is good, I have tried many other visual novel games, but something in this works for me. Keep up the good work!
So far, so good. I am actually surprised by how short the chapters are so far. But I've only played it one way with one choice of personality trait thus far, so I guess I'll need to take a look to see how much the story either changes or expands in the future. Am I one of a few who actually finds the story around his job opportunities a bit more exciting for some reason at the moment? haha. I have no idea why but I found myself quite excited for it. Keep up the quality craftsmanship!
Thanks man. I'm glad you noticed the job; I wanted the protagonist to have something of his own, instead of always revolving around the Walkers. Excited to show you what's coming.
love this series, honestly quite cute despite later on there's gonna be wild sex stuff. keep it up dude/girl. idk if you're a dude or not lol but good job nonetheless
Lmao thanks. The story will always be the focus dw :)
Yeah sorry about that. I only have the latest mac version available right now which is patron-exclusive. In about a week, it'll be up for public downloads.
Cool, no worries. Looking forward to checking it out.
