Developed by Coffee Stain Studios · Published by Coffee Stain Publishing






You control a goat in an open-world sandbox with no conventional story. Roam through locations filled with people and objects, and experiment with how the world responds to you.
Headbutt, lick, grab, and drag things to cause destruction. Physical stunts and combinations of actions can earn points, while the unpredictable physics create plenty of unexpected outcomes.
Explore maps for secrets and trophies, take on challenges and minigames, and unlock goat modifiers and appearances. Steam Workshop support lets players make and share goats, levels, missions, and game modes.
Players commonly enjoy the game's absurd humor, chaotic freedom, and physics-driven antics, especially when ordinary actions spiral into ridiculous destruction. Reviews also praise exploring for secrets and challenges, and some describe strong nostalgic appeal. Others find the open-ended play aimless or say its novelty fades; complaints also mention rough controls, crashes, and demanding completion tasks.
