Im a 27 years old male, I have been living alone since i was 19, when i moved away from my parents and I settled down on a little apartment. Since i was a child, I used to play on the park with my neighbors. We enjoyed one particular game, maybe you have heard of it, it was called "Hide And Seek". The game had 2 roles, the seeker, who has to count to 10, without looking at his enviroment, before starting his duty, and the people who hide as good as they can. The seeker must find all the players hiding, so he can win.

I don't know if this is a common practice, but when a person was found by the seeker, both of them would run as fast as they could to the counting point, if the person who was hiding got there first, he would be safe, and would win against the seeker.

Many of my friends played the game normally, hiding, and then running towards the tree where the seeker was counting, sometimes winning, sometimes losing, they had lots of fun doing so, but I didn't. For some reason, playing games as a children was always so boring to me, they never "clicked" for me. But there was something, just one little thing, on that one particular game, one feature that fulfilled my profound desires and yearnings, that was the moment when the seeker founds you. Instead of just running towards the counting point, i would pick the most odd, darkest places for the seeker to go, i went under cars and grabbed the leg of the seeker when he was nearby, up in some trees hiding on the leaves i would jump into them, behind corners, inside bushes... My goal was never to win the game, my goal was to scare the seeker, frighten, terrify, shock this person.

The enjoyment i had on those golden days of my life was taken away from me, because the parents of the kids threatened me, they said their kids were scared of playing with me. Once a child, who got scared of me, ran away and fell down, he got a huge wound on his head, which he still has in the form of a scar. The only thing that fulfilled me, that made me feel alive, probably the only moment of my life where i could be myself, was gone.

The years passed, i got through my life normally. I graduated from middle school, highschool and college. I made normal relationships with everyone, never had a problem at all. But something was missing, this desire, this feeling, this painful need to annoy people, to make then scared, see them cry in fear. This eventually lead me to live my life in a profound emptiness, everyday was just, dull, boring, flat, tasteless.

I thought my life was doomed to be like this forever, condemned to the boredom. But when i saw this game on the steam store, i saw hope, i saw light. It's not the same than scaring people in real life, but this game provides me joy, it's comforting, it's a dildo that gives pleasure, that satisfy the needs of one of the most deep parts of my soul.

I recommend this game, than rather than giving me entertainament, gave me life once again. Thank you, Untitled Goose Game.
