Beachgoers, lock down your seaside snacks! Independent French developer Maarti Games has officially swooped in with a delightfully chaotic trailer for its upcoming sandbox title, Goeland: Seagull Adventure.
If you’ve ever sat on a breezy pier eating fish and chips, only to have a relentless, wide-eyed feathered menace drop out of the sky and snatch your food right out of your hands, this game is giving you the chance to step—or rather, fly—into those very feathers.
Currently in development for PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) and aiming for a Q4 release, Goeland: Seagull Adventure promises a hilarious, physics-driven playground where you can choose to be the ultimate winged hero or an absolute feathered terror.
Feathers, Physics, and Total Sandbox Freedom
At its heart, Goeland: Seagull Adventure drops you onto a vibrant, open-world island packed with reactive NPCs, hidden secrets, and endless opportunities for mischief. Drawing inspiration from emergent, physics-heavy sandbox classics like Untitled Goose Game and Goat Simulator, Goeland amplifies the absurdity while giving players complete freedom over their playstyle.
The latest trailer gives gamers a glorious look at the sheer breadth of seaside shenanigans on offer:
- Systemic Chaos: The island’s citizens don’t just walk in scripted loops—a dynamic, reactive crowd system means townsfolk will react, panic, and chase you down depending on how badly you push their buttons.
- Goofy Mechanics: Prepare to engage in intense tug-of-war battles to rip sandwiches straight out of unsuspecting hands, hijack hang gliders, mess with paint, and even lead tactical “poop strikes” alongside a recruited goose squadron.
- Helpful or Horrible: You aren’t forced to be a total pest! While stealing food and causing havoc is half the fun, you can also lend a helping wing—rescuing stranded animals, uncovering buried treasure via mysterious maps, and investigating a strange environmental pollution threat hovering over the island.
- Play at Your Own Pace: Prefer a relaxed, zen bird-watching experience over high-stakes chases? Maarti Games has built in customizable settings that allow you to tone down the tension, so you can explore rooftops, solve environmental puzzles, and soak in the sun without constant pursuit.
Built for Gamers and Streamers Alike
Developer Bryan Martinet (the mind behind Maarti Games) is ensuring Goeland isn’t just fun to play solo—it’s tailor-made for community chaos too. The game features native Twitch integration, allowing viewers to literally spawn directly into a streamer’s world as island citizens, either helping out or becoming prime targets for targeted seagull strikes.
With its charming, stylised visuals, adaptive soundtrack, and a rich narrative thread hiding beneath its goofy exterior, Goeland: Seagull Adventure is rapidly shaping up to be one of the most entertaining indie titles of the year.
