About Good Boy

Good Boy is a co-op horror-comedy from Terrible Posture Games, released November 14, 2025, for PC. It casts you and up to three friends as burglars navigating spooky houses while dodging grotesque monsters. The indie title leans into chaotic teamwork, mixing slapstick humor with tense stealth. Its 1980s-inspired aesthetic and absurd dialogue, like arguing over stealing a “sweet wood paneled video cassette recorder”, sell the ridiculousness. Think Five Nights at Freddy’s meets Overcooked, but with more slapstick and fewer jump scares. If you crave a game that’s equal parts hilarious and frantic, this one’s got you.

Gameplay

You’ll spend most of your time sneaking through procedurally generated houses, avoiding eyeless blob creatures and other weird enemies. Each heist requires collecting specific items, like a cassette tape or a cursed statue, while fending off monsters with tools like tasers, flashlights, and smoke bombs. Controls are simple: WASD movement, mouse aiming, and quick access to gadgets. Co-op is chaotic, friends might accidentally knock you into a monster or grab the wrong item. The single-player mode is solo stealth, but multiplayer thrives on miscommunication. Expect 20-30 minute sessions filled with frantic running, random dialogue, and the occasional monster chase.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate it 88/100, with 82% completing the base game. Average playtime is 8 hours, though 44% of players finish it in under 10 hours. Community moods are split: 76% chaotic, 68% hilarious. One user wrote, “We laughed until we cried trying to not get eaten.” Another noted, “The monster designs are terrifying but also kinda ridiculous.” Critics praise the “perfect mix of tension and absurdity.” 43% of players own all 15 achievements, with the hardest being “Escape with the VCR” (12% completion rate).

PlayPile's Take

Good Boy is a $29.99 pick-up if you love co-op chaos and don’t mind a short experience. It’s not for horror purists, monsters are silly, not scary, but fans of Overcooked or games like It Takes Two will vibe. The 15 achievements add a layer of replayability, though most are easy. With 8 hours of content, it’s a solid party game but not a long-term investment. If you have friends to pester, it’s worth the price.
