A Simulator game by Coffee Stain Studios, released in 2014

52/100🔴Niche / Inactive🏆Proton PlatinumPlayStation 3PlayStation 4Linux

Goat Simulator is a third-person perspective game in which the player controls a goat. There does not appear to be any kind of storyline or plot. The player is free to explore the game's world as a goat, destroying things in the environment, running, jumping, and licking. "Goat Simulator is like an old school skating game, except instead of being a skater, you're a goat, and instead of doing tricks, you wreck stuff," explained the game's creators.
