History VideoGame / GooseGooseDuck

* ExactTimeToFailure: Whenever critical sabotages are initiated, a countdown will be displayed. If this timer reaches zero, the ducks automatically win. If "falcon time" starts, players have 60 seconds to stop the falcon from winning, or else the falcon wins.

* {{Poltergeist}}: Two kinds. First, ducks can activate sabotages from beyond the grave. Second, some tasks will be shown on the map if done by a ghost, such as the fog in showers or closing the airlock door.

* DecidedByOneVote: The player with the highest number of votes is voted out. Even if that's just 3 votes on one while 2 vote on 2 other people, the person with 3 votes would be voted out. On certain maps, tied votes would throw the people in jail.%a person to jail if they are the only one to vote for them. As a counterpoint, the locksmith can always unlock the jail, even from within the cell. A politician cannot be sent to jail, even if snitched on.

%%* DecidedByOneVote: Often the way a person is voted out. On certain maps, if the number of votes are tied, then the player(s) with the highest number of votes is sent to jail for a temporary timeout. (Zero-Context: General Example)
* DestinationDefenestration: Sort of. If a door sabotage is called on either Mother Goose or Black Swan, a special task is unlocked on the bridge that allows anyone trapped in the cargo bay to be sucked out into space. There's even a special death stinger for it.
%%* DutyThatTranscendsDeath: For both ducks and geese. If a goose dies, they still need to complete their tasks for one of the geese win conditions. For ducks, they can still call sabotages; they can even win should all ducks have died but the falcon lives and certain sabotages go unresolved.
* DwindlingParty: Like most social deduction games, it gets harder as more people are found dead. Especially as ducks win if they match the number of non-ducks.
* EvilCounterpart:
** In a sense, both the medium goose and the vulture can do the same thing: locate dead bodies. However, the medium only knows the number of dead, while the vulture gets a blue arrow to them.
** Arguably, a mortician became a [[InvertedTrope Good Counterpart]] to the Spy Duck, with the condition that the body is dead and they get to use their ability on the corpse.
** A bodyguard will always spawn if there's a hitman. They are the only two to know who the VIP is, with the bodyguard trying to protect them and the hitman wanting to kill them.
** The snitch duck can send a person to jail if they are the only one to vote for them. As a counterpoint, the locksmith can always unlock the jail, even from within the cell. A politician cannot be sent to jail, even if snitched on.

%%* FramingTheGuiltyParty: It's not unusual for a killer to be voted out, even if they hadn't killed at all in the game. There's not always a good reason for the call made, either. (Zero-Context: General Example)

''Goose Goose Duck'' is a SocialDeductionGame created by Gaggle Studios (gaggle.fun), heavily inspired by mods of VideoGame/AmongUs. However, in its short life, it has already done so much more than its "parent" that it exceeds it in many ways. After an unspecified war between geese and ducks, peace is declared and the geese launch a space program. However, a duck general is angry about this and sends in duck agents disguised as geese to kill them all.

In just under a year, Gaggle has created 6 maps (plus one that is just a lobby hangout), has built-in proximity chat accomodation, and over 30 roles for ducks, geese and neutral roles. The staff are constantly working on updates and listening to the community for new roles, new maps, bug fixes and anything else the game truly needs. The game is available on PC and most mobile devices.

%%*AscendedAnimal: The geese drawn in a weird humanesque style, not entirely human but not that far off being geese, either. They seem to have a similar history to humans otherwise.

* InvisibleToNormals: When a Professional kills, the geese cannot see the bodies. However, if they get within a certain radius of the body, they will automatically report it. Ducks and neutrals, however, can see the bodies and do not have to report (but can if they want).

** TL for The Lounge

** Originally, the detective could tell if a player had killed at any point in the game, but only had one chance to do it. Now, a detective can check many people in a round, but can only tell if there's been a kill since the last meeting.

* AloneWithThePsycho: If the falcon makes it to the final 3, a sabotage-like alarm goes off preventing meetings from being called. If the falcon lives for the following 45 seconds, they win. If a duck is still alive and kills the falcon, ducks win. If only geese are alive and kill the falcon, or all the tasks are completed, the geese win.

** The Birdwatcher originally had their power on all the time, seeing through walls but only in a small cone ahead of them. Instead, the power now has a cooldown and activates for a short burst and the Birdwatcher has normal vision otherwise.
** Originally, the detective could tell if a player had killed at any point in the game, but only had one chance to do it. Instead, it was revised to once per round, but can only detect if the kill was this round.

* CompanyCrossReferences: A handful of the costumes are unlocked by playing Gaggle's virtual escape room games. On one of the console desks is a screenshot for "Awakened".

* DeathAsGameMechanic: So long as there is one role that has unconditional kills (a duck or a falcon), the game will not end. If all of them are eliminated, then the geese instantly win.

* DutyThatTranscendsDeath: For both ducks and geese. If a goose dies, they still need to complete their tasks for one of the geese win conditions. For ducks, they can still call sabotages; they can even win should all ducks have died but the falcon lives and certain sabotages go unresolved.

** The snitch duck can send a person to jail if they are the only one to vote for them. As a counterpoint, the locksmith can always unlock the jail, even from within the cell.

* {{Poltergeist}}: Two kinds. First, ducks can activate sabotages from beyond the grave, causing the technician to get a "false positive" on its location. Second, if "confirm fake tasks" is off, some tasks will be shown on the map if done by a ghost, such as the fog in showers or closing the airlock door.
* PlayerNudge: There is an option to turn on "kick idle geese". If a goose doesn't do their tasks after a certain while, a popup will threaten to kick them out of the lobby.

** The Gravy Goose gives additional rewards either to their killer or to the Gravy Goose themselves if they survive the whole game, but can only be killed when alone. If a third player is in close proximity to the Gravy Goose when someone attempts to kill them, the third player will take the bullet and get killed instead.

* XRayVision: The Birdwatcher Goose has a power that allows it to see through any and all walls around it, but at the cost of a much narrower range of vision while the ability is active.

* CementShoes: On the murder-mystery themed Mallard Manor and Goosechapel maps, players who are voted out of the game are killed by being tied to a weight and thrown in the water, as opposed to the sci-fi themed maps where voted out players are ThrownOutTheAirlock or the Jungle Temple where players are sacrificed to the gods.

* ContextSensitiveButton: There are only ever a maximum of 4 buttons any single role has access to: a use button (replaced by passing the bomb, if applicable), a sabotage button (ducks only), a hide ability (default left-shift), and an active ability (usually kill, default space). In the jungle map, the vent button is replaced with an ability to turn on or off the ability to enter the misty corridors. Some ducks lose the ability to vent in order to hide in other ways, like silencing others or shapeshifting.

* ExactTimeToFailure: Whenever critical sabotages are initiated, a countdown will be displayed. If this timer reaches zero, the ducks automatically win. If "falcon time" starts, players have 45 seconds to stop the falcon from winning, or else the falcon wins.

* GoodColorsEvilColors: Each of the major roles has a specific colour, used to the reflect the win screen: white for geese, red for ducks, dark blue for vulture, light blue for falcon, yellow for Dodo, orange for Pigeon, and purple for Lovers.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Not that good communication will save you, not telling certain things will get you killed. On the other hand, NOT sharing these details may hand a win to your opponents. Also, communications can be sabotages, which cuts off local voicechat (if on).

* ExactTimeToFailure: Whenever certain sabotages are initiated, a countdown will be displayed. If this timer reaches zero, the ducks automatically win. If "falcon time" starts, players have 45 seconds to stop the falcon from winning, or else the falcon wins.

* HeroicSacrifice: The bodyguard wants to stay by the VIP to protect them from the Hitman, and will die instead of the VIP if in range. If the VIP survives, the bodyguard gains 5 coins, whether the bodyguard themself lives or dies.

* FramingTheGuiltyParty: It's not unusual for a killer to be voted out, even if they hadn't killed at all in the game. There's not always a good reason for the call made, either.

* WhyAmITicking: The Demolitionist Duck can only kill by placing bombs on other players that explode after a delay. The bombed player is unaware of their situation until the timer is at 15 seconds left, at which point they're alerted and have that much time to put the bomb on someone else or they explode. Upon exploding, all that's left of the player is their smoking feet, which can not be reported as a normal dead body can.

** The Identity Thief is a twist on the Morphling, turning into their victim as they die and stuck that way until the next meeting.

* DecidedByOneVote: Often the way a person is voted out. On certain maps, if the number of votes are tied, then the player(s) with the highest number of votes is sent to jail for a temporary timeout.

* GoodColorsEvilColors: Each of the major roles has a specific colour, used to the reflect the win screen: white for geese, red for ducks, dark blue for vulture, light blue for falcon, yellow for dodo, orange for pigeon, and purple for lovers.

* HeroicSacrifice: The bodyguard wants to stay by the VIP to protect them from the hitman, and will die instead of teh VIP if in range. If the VIP survives, the bodyguard gains 5 coins, whether the bodyguard themself lives or dies.

* ImposterForgotOneDetail: Sometimes the ducks will say things geese couldn't possibly know. Killing the Canadian is a good way to out them. Also, only geese will know when the celebrity dies. The dodo, on the other hand, will sometimes play on these details to get themselves voted out.

* KillAndReplace: The identity thief will automatically take on the image of their latest victim until the next meeting is called. The morphling can also imitate a victim just killed if planned right.

* TheMole: Anyone who isn't a goose is technically a mole. The dodo may be an exception, since they want to be voted out.

* NeverSplitTheParty: Sometimes this is a good solution to prevent everyone from dying. However, {{subverted|Trope}} in that it allows a pigeon to get an easy win.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: A classic tactic of the dodo. Whether it works or not highly depends on the lobby.

* ConfrontingYourImposter: If the morphling happens to run into the original, some geese will go chasing after the duplicate, waiting for them to shift back.

* EvilCounterpart: In a sense, both the medium goose and the vulture can do the same thing: locate dead bodies. However, the medium only knows the number of dead, while the vulture gets a blue arrow to them.

*
* {{Shapeshifting}}: The morphling can temporarily become any other player, so long as they grab a sample of their DNA first. This will include all cosmetics, but cannot replicate the voice (obviously).
** The Identity Thief is a twist on the morphling, turning into their victim as they die and stuck that way until the next meeting.

** The birdwatcher originally had their power on all the time, seeing through walls but only in a small cone ahead of them. Instead, the power now has a cooldown and activates for a short burst.
** Originally, the detective could tell if a player had killed at any point in the game, but only had one chance to do it. Instead, it was revised to once per round, but can only detect if the kill was this round.

* Nerf: Some of the roles have been revised after much fan feedback.

* BoomHeadshot: During meetings, an assassin has a chance to assassinate one of the geese or neutral ducks. However, if the wrong role is selected, the duck dies instead.

* ImposterExposingTest: Sometimes called the Falcon Test, if no one skips in a round, you know there's no falcon, since that role is forced to skip in meetings.
