House House’s next game, Big Walk, headlines the August 2026 PlayStation Plus lineup. The devs behind Untitled Goose Game aren’t rushing another goose, so if you’re waiting for that same “honk and cause problems on purpose” energy on PC, this is the shortlist. We tested seven games that hit the same nerve: short, funny, physical, and playable in one sitting.
What to look for in an Untitled Goose Game alternative
Not every quirky indie captures what made the goose special. The stuff that matters:
- Physical comedy over dialogue. Watching an animal or character bumble into physics is funnier than any punchline.
- Playable in an evening. These games respect your time. Two to six hours is the sweet spot.
- Low-friction chaos. No skill trees, no grind, no permadeath. Pick up, do a bit, put down.
- Mischief as a mechanic, not a reward. The goal isn’t beating levels, it’s messing with the world and watching what happens.
- Runs on any laptop. Big triple-A specs kill the vibe. All the picks below run on integrated graphics.

The picks
1. DEEEER Simulator – Best for pure sandbox destruction
DEEEER Simulator casts you as a bipedal deer with a stretchy neck living in a peaceful town. You can graze. Or you can spin-attack a convenience store, headbutt a policeman, and unlock the tank. It escalates absurdly and rewards experimentation the way the goose did.
Where it falls short: Framerate hitches in the busier town zones. Some late-game unlocks feel repetitive.
Pricing:
- Free: Steam demo covers roughly 30 minutes of the tutorial town.
- Paid: $14.99 base game. Deluxe with soundtrack around $18.
Platforms: Windows, macOS.
Download: Steam
Bottom line: The closest thing to “goose but bigger” on this list. Grab it first.
2. Catlateral Damage: Remeowstered – Best for shelf chaos
Catlateral Damage: Remeowstered is exactly the pitch. You’re a cat. Your goal is to knock as many objects off tables, shelves, and counters as possible before the humans wake up. Levels are procedural, so no two runs are the same, and unlocking new cats (calico, tabby, black cat with a monocle) keeps the loop going.
Where it falls short: Repetition sets in after five or six hours. Best in short sessions.
Pricing:
- Free: Playable demo on Steam.
- Paid: $9.99 base. Occasionally on sale for under $4.
Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux.
Bottom line: The bite-sized pick. Perfect for a lunch break.
3. Little Kitty, Big City – Best for story-driven mischief
Little Kitty, Big City is what a bigger-budget Untitled Goose Game feels like. You play a black cat lost in Tokyo, working your way home while running errands for weird neighborhood animals. It has a real map, real quests, and real charm. The mischief is optional but rewarded.
Where it falls short: The main story is short, around five hours. Some collectibles feel like padding.
Pricing:
- Free: No demo.
- Paid: $24.99 on Steam. Discounted around $18 during sales.
Platforms: Windows, macOS.
Download: Steam · Xbox / Microsoft Store
Bottom line: Buy this if you want the goose formula with slightly more structure.
4. Stray – Best for cinematic cat adventure
Stray is the arthouse cousin of the group. BlueTwelve Studio’s orange cat game trades slapstick for atmosphere: a lost cat wandering a dystopian robot city, following a companion drone through neon alleys. Less funny, more moving. But the cat animations alone earn the pick.
Where it falls short: It’s a linear adventure, not a sandbox. Replay value is low.
Pricing:
- Free: No demo. Included in PS Plus Extra catalog for subscribers.
- Paid: $29.99 base on Steam.
Platforms: Windows (PS4/5, Xbox consoles too).
Download: Steam · GOG · Epic Games Store
Bottom line: Pick this if you want the emotional cat game, not the chaos cat game.
5. Surgeon Simulator 2 – Best for co-op
Surgeon Simulator 2 is designed for four players fumbling through operations together. Physics-driven arms, unreliable tools, and objectives like “extract a heart, transplant it, don’t drop it in the toilet.” It’s the party-game version of the goose formula.
Where it falls short: Solo is much less fun than with friends. Some hospital levels feel padded.
Pricing:
- Free: No demo.
- Paid: $19.99 base on Steam.
Platforms: Windows.
Download: Steam · Epic Games Store
Bottom line: Pick this only if you have at least one friend to play with.
6. Pikuniku – Best for puzzle-platformer weirdness
Pikuniku is a puzzle-platformer starring a red blob with legs. The plot is a dystopian sight gag about a mysterious corporation. The gameplay is kicking things, rolling around, and solving quick physics puzzles. It’s short (about four hours), funny, and cheap.
Where it falls short: Some puzzles rely on precise platforming that doesn’t always feel great with a keyboard.
Pricing:
- Free: Demo on Steam.
- Paid: $12.99 base.
Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux.
Bottom line: The most kid-safe pick. Runs on anything.
7. Thank Goodness You’re Here! – Best for slapstick comedy
Thank Goodness You’re Here! is a “slapformer” set in a fictional Northern English town called Barnsworth. You’re a small yellow person doing odd jobs for weird locals. You slap things. You slap people. Everyone slaps back. It won more critical praise in 2024 than almost any other short indie.
Where it falls short: Very short. Under three hours for most players.
Pricing:
- Free: No demo.
- Paid: $19.99 on Steam.
Platforms: Windows.
Download: Steam · Xbox / Microsoft Store
Bottom line: Buy this if you loved the goose’s writing more than the mechanics.
How to pick the right one
If you want the closest thing to “goose but bigger”: DEEEER Simulator.
If you want the same “one sitting” feeling: Catlateral Damage or Pikuniku.
If you want mischief with a story: Little Kitty, Big City.
If you want emotional cat: Stray.
If you have friends over: Surgeon Simulator 2.
If you want the British sitcom energy: Thank Goodness You’re Here!.
If you already played all of these, watch the Big Walk trailer and wait for August. It’s built by the same three-person studio and looks like a spiritual sequel.
