10 Video Games Where You Were The Bad Guy All Along

4. Untitled Goose Game

Shadow Of The Colossus
House House

Play as a goose in a quaint little English town. Swim in the pastel-colored pond and waddle through the warmly cel-shaded environments. Many might think this would result in one of the coziest cozy games of all time.

Not so much - because this feathered fellow is basically Satan’s spawn.

Of course, you could, as a player, simply take control of your goose and wander joyfully and aimlessly. But the game gives you objectives, and those objectives reveal that you’re actually a huge jerk. From creating a picnic by stealing from a poor groundskeeper, to wreaking havoc at a quiet pub where folks are just trying to enjoy their Sunday roast - the good guy, you are not.

The real zinger comes in the game’s finale: when the goose is tasked with stealing the town’s prized Golden Bell. If successful, on arriving back at the goose’s lair, he casually chucks his prize into a pit already filled with bells - proving this isn’t a random one-off. These poor townsfolk are doomed to be tormented forever by this beaked anti-Christ.
