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.
