Goat Simulator – the perfect title for an April Fools’ Day prank – is set to launch on Steam tomorrow for $9.99. What started as little more than an online joke a couple of weeks ago soon picked up steam (no pun intended) and Swedish developer Coffee Stain Studios ran with it.
The end result is a game that is small, buggy and stupid according to the development team. In fact, they encourage gamers to spend their $10 on something else like a hula hoop, a pile of bricks or maybe even a real-life goat. The physics and gameplay are rudimentary (you control a goat that rams into things as its primary method of attack / reason for being) yet for some reason, the Internet can’t get enough of Goat Simulator.
