Where the Goats Are is about life on a farm as the world ends

From the very start, you can tell something is wrong in Where the Goats Are. A sense of impending doom hangs suspended in the air as you click around, completing chores on a peaceful farm. It’s a slow contemplative game that’s out today for PC and Mac on the indie platform itch.io.

When I played an earlier build, I first noticed how cumbersome it was to move around as Tikvah. I’d get frustrated with her, and then feel guilty. Tikvah, unlike most video game protagonists, is a stubborn old woman who’s stayed on her farm as her neighbors and family all moved away one by one.
