The developers of 2019's breakout hit Untitled Goose Game have urged its fans to vote Labour.

House House, the small Australian company who created the game, took a break from tweeting about the aggressive waterfowl that stars in its game to send out a post about the upcoming general election.

Noting that it was a break from its usual content, it shared a message to followers who were in the UK, urging them to "please, please, please go and vote for a Labour government" on 12 December, the polling day.

It also shared a picture of the famous goose, surrounded by Labour's red roses.

The post is already proving hugely popular with fans of the game, which became a surprise hit over the year.

Untitled Goose Game came out earlier this year for PC, Mac and Nintendo Switch, and swiftly became the shock hit of the year. Players control a "horrible goose", as the developers describe it, who makes its way around a small village.

The game also became a meme that extended right across the internet. The aggressive goose became a star of a variety of jokes and images that were widely shared online.
