Round up your flock of friends (2-5 players) and embark into a game of Hoot and Seek! As the Owl, you'll be able to blend in seamlessly with the crowd. But beware, those pesky Snipers and Spotters are on a mission to expose your feathery whereabouts!
Game Mode Description
The Owl must blend in with NPCs to complete tasks to win the game. Spotters and Snipers work together to identify and kill the Owl to win.
Roles
Sniper
Snipers are the only ones that can shoot the Owl, and rely on information from the Spotters to find their target. Abilities
Targeting: Enter targeting mode. Temporarily stop moving and control the crosshair to search for the Owl.
Exit targeting mode.
Shoot: Snipers can shoot to kill the Owl. Make sure not to shoot randomly, as any incorrect kill will reward tasks to the Owl and reveal the Sniper's location on the map.
Spotter
Spotters help the Snipers to locate the Owl, but be aware that the Owl can also hear all communication. Abilities
Scan: Scan an area for the Owl's presence. A green circle will show if the Owl is in proximity, and a red circle if they are not.
Owl
The Owl is visually indistinguishable from the NPCs in the game. They win by stealthily completing tasks and avoiding detection from the Snipers and Spotters. Abilities
Disguise: Select a target to disguise as. Can disguise itself by first selecting another player's appearance.
Transform: Transform into your selected target.
Pickpocket: The Owl can pickpocket Snipers to complete several tasks at once and to reduce the cooldown of their abilities.
Blackout: Temporarily reduce the vision of all other players and move faster.
Super Reset: Randomize the cosmetics and positions of all players. It has a very high cooldown, so make sure to only use it in case of emergency.
Role Updates
Demolitionist (Duck): Bomb is now passed automatically by proximity, no longer passed by action button.
Party (Duck): Partied players now display an icon next to their name during game play. Only revealed to the Party (Duck).
Silencer (Duck): Silenced players now display an icon next to their name during game play. Only revealed to the Silencer (Duck).
Pigeon (Neutral): Infected geese now show an infected icon next to their names, to help keep track of the infected. Only revealed to the Pigeon.
Astral (Goose): Now togglable into Astral form, and has infinite time.
Quickplay
Hoot & Seek has been added to Quickplay.
Select game mode tabs have been merged.
Voice Chat
With the last voice chat update we aimed to improve voice chat for everyone, although the quality was better, it led to less accessibility. We've been looking at ways to mitigate this problem and have implemented changes that should solve the problem for most users. We are still working actively and diligently alongside our third-party providers to find a solution. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we work through this with these updates.
Bug Fixes
Role Tutorial now has Drone (Duck)
Shaders have been substituted and optimized for Mobile devices.
Ancient Sands: Mummy pathing improved.
Ancient Sands: Sabotage music has been fixed to no longer play through meetings and ends after meeting.
Tastes Like Chicken: Identity thief is now correctly changing feather color upon downing players.
Engineer (Goose): When Engineer is killed in a hiding spot, the ghosts no longer appear on map.
Improvement to button navigation on controllers.

Regarding Fraud...
Fraud sucks. While we work hard to make fun games, others will try to take the easy route and be a Duck about it. This hurts the studios that put so much care and time but more importantly hurts the unsuspecting players.
Many players have been asking us about this project GoGoDuck in China, they DO NOT have our permission nor our license to represent themselves as part of Gaggle Studios, Inc. nor Goose Goose Duck. Period.
Please do research and be safe on the internet, we are Gaggle Studios, Inc. not LTD, LLC, etc. we make players aware of partnerships/collaborations through our Socials, Community Discord, Steam Page, Website or during the Devlog because we are as excited as you are about them!
