The developers have consistently stated that the game is officially untitled, as in it literally has no title. I suggest that the article be changed to resemble something like this:
untitled, but colloquially known as Untitled Goose Game, is an untitled goose-based third person stealth puzzle game developed by House House.

I fully agree with initially calling it “the untitled second game by developer House House”, but then referring to in throughout the rest of the article as “Untitled Goose Game”. It makes the most sense, because it is Untitled SirPlerple ( talk) 21:59, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
To point out the two IGN articles that are being used to claim there is no title for the game [1] clearly has the game named "Untitled Goose Game", from a quote from the dev: "The only title we ever even remotely considered was ‘Some Like it Honk,’ because we thought it was funny, but I don’t think [we] ever seriously considered using it. Untitled Goose Game just has such a nice ring to it.". The second link is an IGN review, so not an official statement, and even then, they clearly are calling the game "Untitled Goose Game". Yes, they're stating the game is untitled, but they're clearly refering to it as "Untitled Goose Game" and House House clearly does too, outside of one Tweet, which is not sufficient to override RS sourcing. -- Masem ( t) 14:28, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
These were reliable sources I could find that specifically stated titled/untitled. There were some edge cases here and there, which I haven't included (e.g. a source stating "untitled goose game" in lowercase, are they referring to the common name of the game or are they saying that it is untitled?). I don't see why the review one shouldn't count though. Sure, it's not an official statement, but it's still a post from a reliable source - even if it's in a review. The information we extract from a post should not necessarily have to be the main topic of the post. I still stand by my opinion that we should mention in the lead that it is untitled and refer to it everywhere else as "Untitled Goose Game". While the amount of sources I found isn't as much as I hoped (I've gone through most of the reliable sources on WP:VG/S with exception of non-English sources because of possible incorrect translations), there are definitely reliable sources that state it as untitled, so I see no reason to not, at the very least, state this once on the actual page.

So, what do you do about spoilers? Revealing the final twist in the tale of this game is about the worst spoiler I’ve ever seen, but it seemed a bit harsh to the author just to delete it all. I played and loved this game, but finding out how it ends was especially memorable.
I've nominated this for Good Article, it's and iconic game and well written. - MyCatIsAChonk ( talk) 20:13, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Hey
MyCatIsAChonk, I'll be reviewing this article using the table below. Comments to follow soon (if I can't get round to it today, I hope it will be within the next few days). I note that you are one of the most recent contributors to the article but not a major contributor (if we're going by proportion of the total edits!). Not a problem if you are familiar with, or willing to become familiar with, the content and sources. I also see you've pinged the talk page which is helpful. Looking forward to starting!

The game originated from a stock photograph of a goose that an employee posted in the company's internal communications, which sparked a conversation about geese.
The citation is for a Tweet from the lead game dev at House House (the company that made Untitled Goose Game).
